QUESTION SAMPLES:

"Do you think we are your pets and we are stupid and we can't understand you?" - Rylan, age 11

Prima - Right on! I love children - they are so honest; so clear and their perspective is not yet dimmed by mass consciousness. Yes Rylan it does depend on which side of the fence you are sitting. You humans do it all the time. You speak louder to people who don't understand you. You think them stupid and they of course think the same of you.
Certainly as much as you keep us, we keep you. After all, who is doing the shoveling, and the feeding and paying the bills. And yes we think you are stupid when you can't see the forest for the trees.

"How does being surrounded by such avarice, blindness and angst affect your day to day spiritual balance?" - Kevin

L.E. - I will have to answer your question from two perspectives. First of all, the situation of my herd is far removed from such qualities. We are given unconditional love, generosity of spirit, complete acceptance, and peace. Our spirits are free to experience life fully and at our pace, and we enjoy human interaction and the path we are taking together.
As for horses as a species, they suffer under various degrees of man-made and self-made conditions. It is no different for the human spirit. The life and conditions are of our choosing and result in the ultimate growth of our spirit.
We have chosen to be companions to man; to grow spiritually together. Yes, there are conditions and circumstance where we find it difficult and trying to live with man. We can experience anger, frustration, sorrow, grief, - just as you do, but generally we take the path of least resistence. We solve physical problems or imperfections from the spiritual plane.
The secret is where your consciousness resides. If you view life from a spiritual perspective, it allows you to not only supercede appearance with truth, but to actually correct the situation with consciousness. This is what we are trying to share with you - the ability to adjust consciousness between planes, and to access solutions to problems that offer the magnitude of perspective from a higher level.
We can be surrounded by unfavorable circumstance on the physical level, yet not be affected spiritually because we simply withdraw our consciousness. It is a matter of honing your skills. We are all created on both levels and have ability to travel not only between worlds, but also beyond physical boundaries. Boundaries are simply thought patterns. Change your thoughts and you will change your experience. You man, have forgotten how to use these abilities, as you are so immersed in the physical that you have not time or interest in moving beyond.
We invite you to spend time communing with our consciousness and our experience. We think you will appreciate that you can travel more comfortably and quickly with our help, and together we can experience the ultimate joy of kinship and communion with all life, on all planes of existence.

"What do we look like - smell like to you. What other animal is similar?" - Griffin, age 7

The Herd - We are strange bedfellows the two of us. Horses and humans have been in relationship for centuries. We love the sight and smell of you, as much as you do us. Our relationship is intoxicating; a love affair like no other. We can't think of another animal that is similar. You are the only creature we have this sort of relationship with. You keep your dogs and cats and other farm animals and by extension we have relationships with them as well. We have many in our adopted family.

"Can you give us a simple definition of what you call religion? I'm sure it differs greatly from what we believe." - Peter

The Herd - Religion is to us a certitude, not a belief; not an indoctrination; not a confine, but an absolute; a Knowing and a truth that is given the moment we connect with the ALL. It needs no doctrine, no rules; it is, absolutely remembered as the fabric of ALL life; an understanding that is our first and last breath and everything relevant in between.
