How to ask wild animals not to eat all of the harvest

When you have farm and grow vegetables or fish, it’s inevitable to mind about local wild animals who also want to eat them. If you don’t do anything, all the foods will be gone in the worst case and local senior resident, the animals, become your enemies as it is what often happens all around the world today. When people are addicted in use of traps to catch animals, it’s same as announcing to the universe “I am the only one who should survive, other spices should die” it’s not difficult to imagine what would happen when this energy come back to them. Additionally, this is the same energy as when human beings concurred another culture in the history.

We’ve learned it’s not wise nor effective in the life of love anymore after all on this earth. Then, what should we do instead of settling traps?

I’d like to introduce an unique ways which one of the spiritual leaders in Japan have proposed. The website is here but only in Japanese.

It’s very simple.

1. Close your eyes and intend to connect to the animals’ group consciousness such as “dear birds” “dear deers”

2. Talk to them in heart faithfully as

“Hello, I’m a newcomer to your beautiful garden. I respect you and love you as the senior resident here. As you know I planted wheat and now it’s good to eat. But let me propose you one condition for our better future. I’ve settled a few poles with red color in the field. You can eat all the wheat closer to the forest than the poles. But the other side closer to our house is for my family and my business so please don’t eat and leave it. If you eat all of the wheat in the field, I cannot survive. If I cannot survive here, there will be nobody to grow wheat anymore. I’m asking you because I don’t want to use gun to drive you away, so please. Thank you always and I love you. I wish we can be a good friends in the future”

The phrase can be whatever.

First of all, we have to know the harvest should be shared by everybody around.

Who planted is humans, yes, but who grew them is the sun, the soil, the wind and the rain; our father.

In the books of Anastasia, I didn’t find description especially about how they managed plants for animals in ancient times, but I think “animals fed themselves” means animals sometimes ate what human beings planted in their garden but they didn’t care much because there were something else to eat in the forest in huge amount and they had good communication with the animals.

In another article, I’ve read a farmer succeeded in protecting his harvest using very similar strategy.

In another story of corn and タヌキ described in a book “the apples of miracle” in Japanese, the farmer just put damaged corns at the end of the field. What happened, the banned corn was all gone on the next morning while the corn in the field was left safe not even touched.

It didn’t happen naturally. Once before the farmer used a dangerous metal trap to catch タヌキ as usual. One day he found a baby タヌキ was caught in the trap and the mother was struggling to rescue the baby. When he released the trap and made the baby’s leg free, the mother didn’t escape away but stayed there took care of the broken leg of her lovely child. The farmer saw it all by his own eyes and felt as he did something very wrong, he stopped using traps and started feeding them instead. His love of giving invited the solution to protect his harvest.

At this case, there was a first shocking impact to タヌキs side; usually animals have empathy so they must have shared the horrible experience of trap, it might helped them come to an agreement quickly and peacefully.

What we can imagine as another “taker” of the harvest is insect. Next article is about them.
