Dr. Linda Bender & Animal Wisdom
OMTIMES: You share some amazing science behind the amazing power of animals to find their way home after being lost often 100,000 miles away from home? To detect cancer seizures and more? Why do animals have this “power and unexplained wisdom and what does it tell us about them?
Linda Bender: In so many cases we do not know how or why animals have such amazing intuitive powers, but we have shown scientifically that they do. In Animal Wisdom I have an entire chapter offering examples of animals astonishing “unexplained powers,” and the scientific data to prove it.
OMTIMES: You have very powerful endorsements for your book from Dr. Jane Goodall to Deepak Chopra and renowned author and scientist Rupert Sheldrake. It seems that you have merged scientific knowledge with spiritual wisdom and your book –why was it important?
Linda Bender: I have been on a spiritual path most of my life, and animals have invited me into their world in this adventure. I am also trained in science with a healthy skepticism. In my experience, there is no conflict between my scientific knowledge and my spiritual understanding – life is a miraculous blend of the two. In my book I have tried to offer both.
OMTIMES: What is the most important message you can share with our audience today? What is your main goal is writing this book and educating the public about the wisdom of animals?
Linda Bender: The wisdom I have learned from animals through my profound childhood experiences, my veterinary and rescue work, is not meant for me alone. I am compelled by a deep love and compassion for animals and nature to teach what I have learned.“All the creatures of the Earth have lives of meaning and purpose, aside from the values we place on them. Now more than ever, the nonhuman beings that share the Earth with us have been entrusted to our care. Please consider doing something from your heart to help animals – speak the voice of your heart and don’t be afraid to make a lot of noise.
