On this episode of True Kinship With Animals podcast, we are talking about the connection you have with your beyond-human neighbors: the animals in your local ecosystem. I don’t know about you, but when I consider we have a shared, daily, physical reality with the animals it sure makes it easier to be in true kinship with them, instead of claiming power-over.

Do you ever get stuck in knowing how to be with animals?
I mean how do you be with an animal without your mind jumping to the ‘shoulds’, the ’what ifs’ and the comparisons to other people and the lives they have with their animals?
Another way to put it is how to simply be with animals MINUS the perfectionistic lens we humans are so good at using? That’s what we’re diving into on today’s episode.

In today’s episode we going to go deeper into the topic of love, human entitlement and animals using the egocentric lens. We’re also talking about the Bandwagon Fallacy. Follow along, because I believe you too will see a connection between entitlement, the egocentric lens, the Bandwagon Fallacy and how they manipulate our relationship with animals and our love for them.

True, you do, and yet there are so. many. different. ways. to show up for them.

In today’s episode I’m going to share with you a story my guides told me I was to share with all. It’s the story about how eons ago we were in true kinship with animals, how that was lost and how it is returning.
But first, some background on true kinship, animism and the lens I use as I talk about this.

What’s true for you when it comes to the animals in your life?
The reason I ask this is because we are influenced by so many outside sources that it can be easy to unconsciously abandon your own truth and agency for someone else’s.
That surrender sneaks up slowly, it is often subtle and insidious. You think you’re living your truth and the next thing you know it has taken a back seat in a discussion you participated in online. How the heck did that happen???

It's not going to be a big surprise to you, but we humans are awfully good at being human. Some of our best qualities shine forth when we are using our creativity, our integrity, our compassion, or intelligence or our wit, just to name a few. These qualities can definitely aide us on our journey to being in true kinship with animals.
But then, on the other hand, we have other qualities that pop up and stand in the way of our being in true kinship with animals. Today one of those qualities we’re going to deep dive into is entitlement.

Thanks for your patience with the sound - I didn’t realize I had placed the mic incorrectly. Today’s episode is a tad different than the previous ones, as it’s coming from a more personal and practical spin. I want to take the time to introduce myself and to share with you in far more detail how I show up and support true kinship with animals to the world at large. Also covered is how being in true kinship with animals is moving from an egocentric to ecocentric state of being.

In this episode we’re tackling the common, everyday language we use when we are referring to our domesticated animals and the relationship we have with them. Common words we use like ‘pet’, ‘owner’, ‘fur-kid’, ‘dog mom’ are outdated, inadequate and unsatisfactory. These words create a hierarchy - one of humans having power over animals. This is the antithesis of true kinship and animism as it doesn’t permit or even encourage equality between the species.
