Monty
Roberts, known as the “Man Who Listens to Horses” is
likely to be found somewhere on the globe continuing to spread his
message of non violence through speaking to youths in a detention
facility, or by ‘gentling’ his 15,000th horse at a demonstration;
teaching his techniques to the growing number of students at his
Equestrian Academy in California or advising Volkswagen executives.
While tracking wild mustangs in Nevada as a boy, Monty observed
a nonverbal communication between the horses, a silent ‘body
language’ he would later call "Equus." Monty incorporates
"Equus" into his non-violent training.
The result is a willing partnership in which performance can flourish
to its full potential, rather than exist within the boundaries of
obedience.
These principles are valuable tools to understanding what motivates
behaviour and have increasing effectiveness in any application.
His methods of training encourage teamwork and co-operation during
human and animal interactions through non-violent practices and
through simple reward and encouragement for positive behaviour.
This allows empowerment of both parties in the partnership to the
mutual benefit of both. It enables the horse/human to learn and
attain power in its interactions as opposed to being dominated and
forced to obey.
Monty often expresses that his goal in life is to leave the world
a better place for horses and for people.
In addition to thousands of Horses, deer and many other animals
over the years, Monty and his wife Pat also took in 47 foster children
to add to their own. Many of them still return to Flag Is Up Farms
for visits, and credit Pat and Monty with helping to turn their
lives around.
Be
Here Now - is a link to the web site of Ram Dass,
Ram
Dass – which means “servant of God” - was formerly
Dr. Richard Alpert, the formidable Harvard psychology professor/researcher.
He partnered with Dr. Timothy Leary, the brilliant, if incorrigibly
controversial, thinker, writer and explainer of LSD. After their
field trips to Mexico and their inner trips on teonanácatl
or psilocybin, the brilliant duo’s writings and lectures on
the psychedelic experience inevitably forced them out of the groves
of academe – Leary to become a true sixties icon, Alpert to
travel to India in 1967, discover Eastern thought and more significantly,
meet his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, who gave him the name Ram Dass.
"a
powerful proponent of fierce self awareness and love as a constant
motivator. His dedication to bhakti yoga – yoga of the heart
– has brought a whole new generation of seekers to self-realization
and service to those in need. His constant work with the dying added
another dimension to his service. His unique skill in getting people
to cut through and feel divine love without dogma is still a positive
influence on many, many people from all over the planet."
