Innovative MIT Grad Teaches Human-Animal 'Talk
Can people really communicate with animals in ways that most humans seldom contemplate? Hong Kong’s Thomas Cheng, founder of the Institute of Scientific Animal Communication (ISAC), teaches talk-to-animals techniques. What he reveals, often to big rooms full of eager human students, not only deeply impresses, but can change attitudes and lives. Thomas graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), having specialized in computer science, mathematics and electrical engineering. Later he became the first student in Asia to successfully study with Penelope Smith, an expert on interspecies telepathic communication.
How do you explain your work to people who refuse to believe that humans can talk directly to animals?
I understand why people are skeptical about animal communication, as I was too when first hearing of it. Why not start with an open mind and read about scientific verification? Then read about various case studies in which animal communication helped people and animals to understand each other better, leading to significant behavior changes on both sides. This especially applies to the animals, who often exhibit immediate changes right after the communication.
How does such communication happen?
It’s by telepathy. When people relax and focus on an animal, we can send and receive information using some practices. For example, we can receive pictures, emotions, thoughts or even smells. The animal need not sit in front of the communicator. Using photos of the animal works equally well.
