Topic: The Ant Whisperer
Just saw a great documentary on satellite TV – last night – called The Dog Whisperer.
This guy was awesome. People had all kinds of problems with their dogs – neurosis, vicious, hyper/ADD and super skittish… Caesar [the trainer] would walk into the room and take charge. Within 5 minutes. Very assertive. No yelling, no hitting, no lovey-dovey, ooey-gooey stuff either – he said that is human psychology and does not work with dogs.
Dogs understand dominance and territory. Read their body-language and do dog psychology on them. He was never bitten, and he shared that he loves dogs, they read our energy, and he stays in the neutral zone with them – no fear, no anger, no frustration…
He also briefly mentioned that when you want to get any animal to cooperate, exercise them, first – get rid of the excess energy and then train/discipline them, and third – give them affection. It helps if you send them a clear mental picture of what you want them to DO – do NOT send a picture of what you DON’T want them to do – they’ll get that and do it!
Due to the location of our house (my landlady’s) we have a lot of insects, birds and squirrels and I have experimented with them over the last 3 years. We are not bothered by ants or cockroaches in the house, I do not get bitten by mosquitoes when I work in the shady part of the yard (and they do hangout there!), and I got a gopher to stop tunneling under the front flagstone walkway where he was undermining it.
Case in point: we have fire ants here and they love to build their mounds in our yard (great St Augustine grass). I went over to the mound 3 Summers ago, tapped on the mound, breaking the dirt a bit, and of course they rushed out – ready to do battle. I said, out loud, (in case any elementals were involved in this scenario) that I like ants because they get rid of the termites – also in the back yard – TX is bad that way. I also showed them the green can of Orthene and said I don’t want to use this but will (the mound was 3’ x 3’ and made mowing impossible!) if they don’t move. I then clearly visualized their mound moving into the corner of our yard, or a little farther into the neighbors’ yard. (They never use their back yard.) Two days later, I went out, tapped on the mound –no one there and so I went looking… one mound was in the corner of our yard, and the other was in the neighbor’s back yard. I flattened the mound with the hose and have had no further troubles – they’re all in the neighbors’ yards.
Just call me Dances With Ants, or The Ant Whisperer.
Seriously, I read a great book years ago called Kinship With All Life – it meant ALL life. Why wouldn’t it work? We have no termites, and we have no treatment – and we have been inspected. (All 3 neighbors on 3 sides of us have termite problems.) The ants do not come into the kitchen – I made a deal with them: I said one day when they WERE prowling the kitchen, that if they would go outside, I’d get some sugar and cookies for them. They went out. I gave them the stuff.
This also worked with the cockroaches – also bad in TX. I asked them out loud to not come in the house or I’ll set up poison traps – but go into the garage, to the white sack and eat or play with whatever you find there. That sack has holes in it, it is our food throw out stuff – some goes down the disposal, some goes into the sack for them. They do not come in the house… again, I visualized it to them.
In all cases I was very firm and clear – visualizing what I wanted – and it worked. Are we one with all life? Do the elementals hear us and shepherd the insects? Or are we all interconnected in ways we don’t suspect?
Anyone else try this?
Kind of funny.
I've heard a similar story once from a woman who found her kitchen invaded with cockroaches one time. She got in touch with the "head roach" or whatever, and asked for it to move its herd, otherwise she would probably have to kill them....and they left!
And he's supposed to be the man of God, and I'm supposed to be the big heathen. Go figure. 
haha...ha. yeah. I've adopted a bit of a Native American mindset though in interpreting these things as symbolic omens. A wasp suddenly appearing and flying around us right as the Pastor comes over to where I am and starts getting on my nerves? hmmm. ! I've had other, even more meaningful insect appearances, so I think this has validity.
