Are Dolphins Really Teachers?

It is because:

• seeing one leap into the air makes people of all ages squeal with delight?
• many autistic children suddenly become more responsive after swimming with them?
• a person who's normally terrified of water feels completely at peace when they are present?
• people often exhibit the same brain wave pattern as an experienced meditator after swimming with them only once - even if they've never meditated before?
• they're such good midwives? - No kidding!
• most cetacean trainers admit (off the record of course) that they are much more than circus animals and that they've had at least one experience with the dolphins that they describe as spiritual or extraordinary?
• practically every person who's been with them in the water says the experience completely changed their life?

They have greatly impacted numerous civilizations.

There have been reports of how they have saved fishermen from drowning and also assisting them in finding fish dating back centuries and continuing up to the present day.

The Dogon tribe of Africa has an amazing record of the stars and their locations without having any type of instruments to even see some of the things they have records for. When asked how they could possibly know such things, they say their legends indicate that dolphin beings taught it to them a very long time ago.

A group of Aborigines from Australia call themselves "the dolphin dreamers."

Throughout Greece there are still countless drawings, carvings, and mosaics of them. There is an entire dwelling dedicated to them called "The House of Dolphins." And of course there's the very famous Oracle at Delphi.

So, who are they really?

And why do they still receive so much human attention?

I find those questions pretty challenging to answer.

After years of interaction, study, and telempathic communication, I feel I only grasp, or understand, a fraction of who they really are. How do I go about describing a being, or more aptly a consciousness, that is more advanced than I am?

Of course I'd have to say that dolphins are extraordinary healers. The comments concerning autistic children, brain wave patterns, midwifery, and numerous other forms of healing are very commonplace.

But for me, first and foremost they are teachers. How is that even possible? I mean how can an animal teach anything when it lives in the ocean and can't speak the language?

Every great teacher knows that to really reach all students they have to use every possible avenue. Some students must see the information in order to really grasp it. Others have to hear it. And finally, some must do it or feel it in order to comprehend.

Like all great teachers, dolphins use more than one avenue to get their message across. Not only do they send messages using all three of the methods mentioned above, but they send the messages in at least three different ways: 1) when a person is with them physically - viewing or swimming with them, 2) in dreamtime while the person is sleeping, and/or 3) while the person is in an alpha (meditation) or theta (deep meditation) brainwave state.

Since 1993 they've been one of my primary sources of inspiration. I've literally written thousands of pages of information, insights, and technologies while in a meditative state and consciously linked to them. I've learned a great deal about energy, vibration, healing, communication, and joy using the telempathic process.

Telempathy is a term coined by Join Ocean to describe dolphin communication as being telepathic and empathetic simultaneously. My explanation of it is that they send a bundle of energy containing a large volume of information. A person might see images, hear words, and/or feel a feeling.

Sound familiar?

And the person has instant understanding or knowing of the information being sent. I seem to be naturally "wired" to receive it.

And I'm certainly not alone. Volumes have been written about the feelings of love, joy, and peace experienced by almost everyone who encounters them in the wild.

Many individuals, including serious scientists, describe receiving visions that they attribute to the dolphins.

And some people report that they "actually hear a voice" when they swim with dolphins. At first this can be quite disconcerting. You're in the water and suddenly someone says, "Hello." You look around and the dolphin is the only one close enough to sound like that. Quickly the initial shock and disbelief subsides and is replaced by great excitement. Pretty soon there is a whole conversation occurring between you and the dolphin.

If you were able to have such a conversation, what could you learn from them?

Just take a look once again at the list from the beginning of the article. They have beneficial information for humans related to experiencing more joy, physical and emotional healing, altering brain waves, transmuting fears, and changing lives.

Imagine the possibilities . . .
