Growing up we would go camping in the summer and were taught about bears at interpretive talks. I really loved the talks but looking back I see it was in a very 3d level of consciousness. They taught us a saying about Black Bears we were to repeat again and again – “If it’s black, Fight back”.
This inevitably made me (& likely everyone else who was there learning from the “experts”) feel fear about Black Bears. I remember a summer job in the woods and seeing a Black Bear from a far distance caused so much fear in myself and my compadre that we were distraught for days. Literally shaking with fear in that moment.
Over time the fear shifted into more of a respectful curiosity as I evolved and spent much time in the forest without any negative interactions with any wildlife 🌲
Recently I was out for a surf and a Black Bear came walking along the shoreline. All the fear was gone, and my curiosity had evolved into tuning into the energy & consciousness of this majestic animal. As I tuned in I felt a deep sense of Relaxation throughout my whole body. I enjoyed watching the bear slowly walk along the logs, prod at the vegetation, dip and weave along the trail with a playful Curiosity. I could feel a Blissful vibe from the bear and coupled with the relaxation I was astonished at how I used to perceive this animal compared to how I was in that moment; tuned into its consciousness. The Bear was pure Love! I remembered that all nature is already operating in 5d consciousness.
I reflected on how animals are impeccable at reading energies. Also how a human in fear is giving off an energetic signal of “i am victim”. Also how animals are telepathic and if the human keeps thinking of attack, the bear would think that’s what the human wants. What a difference consciousness makes! And also how an internal shift in perception really does change the outer reality. I saw the Black Bear as a friend, a teacher, as love. I knew if I respected it, it would respect me too and we could both exist in harmony on this beautiful coastline 🐻🏄♀️
