Gerard Posted June 11, 2016 I have seen these meditating near this waterfall while hovering over the Pyrenees: Hahaha. Marmots, very spiritual mountain dwellers. This other furry brother comes near my balcony every night while I am meditating, he keeps on munching leaves from the native bush tree. The way this gorgeous thing moves from tree to tree is amazing, you'll barely notice his movements, like a ghost! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted June 11, 2016 Yeah, I like your vision of the marmot meditating. That's better than my image that he is being watchful for eagles so that he isn't eaten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe sitting in an adrenaline, highly aware state is how our ancestors started meditating. As they experienced various phenomena, maybe their motives for sitting/standing changed. Maybe the chakras represent an evolution in a person's motives for Paying Attention To What Is Going On. Notice the critter in the photo is upright. When we increase awareness our spines go upright. Just ideas. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zerostao Posted June 11, 2016 animals, oh where is the "humanity" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHP0ETuMBwE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xoh_68ljvIo sure animals will try and help their same kin or the cute little baby--no surprise there but look at the inter-species cooperation and help is that beyond a good Samaritan ? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nungali Posted June 11, 2016 Great vids thanks ! It reminded me of something I forgot happened yesterday. I left training, drove to friends place and on the way there was a largish (at first glance) diamond python crossing the road ... and decided to stop and sunbake. A car was behind me and one coming the other way, I flashed my lights and held a hand out the window ; 'stop'. I stopped and got out the car ... "move along Yumba" ... nope . So I picked it up, and it immediately wrapped around my arm and put the squeeze on (of course) so I started taking it off but ... Hmmmm, this guys is bigger than I thought ! a struggle ensued (mostly so the snake would not be harmed .. unwinding them twists their body around ) ... that went on for a bit in the middle of the road , then I got the better of him and took him to the other side of the rad and dumped him in someone's front garden bushes . ... went back to the car and more cars are now stopped and people in them are <shrug> it was just a python ..... at first, from a distance, I through it was a red bellied black snake . If it was, I would have not have even got out the car ! .... maybe some other person would have - and caught it , and I would have been the one sitting there going 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerard Posted June 12, 2016 Somewhere in the Pyrenees. Thanks for the videos, zerostao. Not easy to find bandicoots and sugar gliders in an urban environment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nungali Posted June 13, 2016 Depends how many trees and how few cats and dogs and how the green corridors (if any ) are linked * . Sometimes they will come in from the yard into the laundry http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=sugar+gliders+in+suburban+backyard&&view=detail&mid=53484F9BA3C08CABBE4B53484F9BA3C08CABBE4B&FORM=VRDGAR * They even have them for crabs ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
