Redundant and stupid idea (for a REASON!)


Anyone that has watched even a few episodes of 'Dog Whisperer' or 'Cesar 911' can understand why this is a redundant and stupid idea.

Bee is an animal, even though it's classified as insect (or is it? I am not even sure).

What I mean is, it's animal, where it COUNTS.

People of this world have become too cerebral and emotional, and maybe even spiritual (though in very twisted ways for the most part) - but they have lost the ability to be INSTINCTUAL.

Animals are VERY instinctual. They not only trust their instincts, they LIVE their instincts. If their instinct says something, they INSTANTLY obey it and react to it as if it's 100% true.

If a dog senses you are weak or fearful, the dog won't take you seriously, or it will attack you - animals don't nourish weakness, they attack it.

If you are calm and assertive, a dog will consider you a pack leader, and you don't need any words or even any noises necessarily to control a dog, because the dog can 'read you' with its instincts. You can't lie to a dog, because it sees through into your innermost self.

People have forgotten and lost the 'instinctual communication', but they can re-remember it, and start applying it.

I stumbled into this ACCIDENTALLY, when I decided, on a whim, to just COMMAND a bee out of the room, to make it go out the window. To my amazement, the bee actually... obeyed.

What?

I mean, it's hard for modern people to take this seriously without testing it, and I don't blame the readers for being sceptical. Ever since, I have commanded bees out the window, and they have -always- obeyed. Now, sometimes it takes some time, other times they stop obeying for awhile until you re-compose yourself to be a bit stronger (inwardly) and command it a bit more seriously.

Bees obviously don't understand or respond to LANGUAGE. I started commanding the bee only with energy and body language, and it worked just as well as 'with words'. I realized it was never the words, it was always the energy and body language.

So all you have to do is firmly and confidently, but calmly point at the bee so it gets a shot of your energy, and then basically point to where you want it to go, while mentally seeing the image of the bee going there. It might take five or eight tries, but eventually, with patience, you keep at it, and the bee WILL go out the window.

Just like you see dogs do in 'Dog Whisperer' or 'Cesar 911'. The dogs don't immediately, instantly obey, but eventually, with patience and time, Cesar makes the dogs obey, and in the end, they obey the smallest gesture or whistle (and they know what the whistle means because of the energy in it).

Do you now see why this TV series (I thought it was a movie from the trailer) is redundant and stupid? The man (I love Rowan's best work, but his worst work is pretty bad) does the typical people-thing; without instinctual side, just physically, emotionally and hysterically trying to control situations.

Bad dog handlers and 'owners' try to negotiate with their dogs, or control by voice and language - the typical 'dog training' thing. It doesn't even occur to them to give a silent but firm correction at the correct time, and they always use these stupid harnesses that are DESIGNED for the dog to pull (or push forward) when the harness pushes their chest.

It's so annoying to watch bad dog handlers outside, being able to predict EXACTLY what's going to happen - that dog has its tail up, so your little brat dog is going to bark like crazy, and you are not going to correct, but you're going to allow the dog to walk in front of you .. and that's EXACTLY what happens every time (I am describing a real event from a few days ago).

It's amazing that these TV shows exist, and people still do not learn. They go on like this information didn't exist whatsoever, although it's out there, and every dog owner should know dog psychology - but they don't.

So bad dog owners keep trying to control dogs by VOICE (when they're in the red zone), by negotiation (when they should be giving silent but firm corrections with proper tools with correct timing), and by trying to shame them or using a 'disappointed voice' .. 'Margy, how COULD you bark at that dog!'

They never learn, and this TV show is proof of how clueless people are when it comes to animals. All this 'man' would have to do is calmly and confidently (or assertively) command the bee (not with words, but with energy and intention) to get the F out the window or door, and it would obey. Maybe not in a second, it might take 80 seconds for it to start obeying, or it might obey just 5 cm at a time, then go back, but eventually, with patience, the bee WOULD obey and get out.

Of course being a TV series, real world isn't relevant ... but I'm just sayin' - this TV show or premise does not need to exist, when it could be so easily solved.

I kinda scanned through what you wrote and thought that comparing dogs to bees is.......???

A bit of a spoiler following:

This movie is about a guy who is separated from the mother of his kid because he tends to get obsessed with little things all the time. That is the basis for this movie. His obsession takes things too far, and just when you think he's really in the shit, there's a big twist which changes everything. It was enjoyable. Just don't take the bee action too seriously and think back to being a child so you can enjoy it as a lighthearted comedy with the wonderful Rowan Atkinson who was channeling a lot of Mr. Bean in dealing with the confusing, super high-tech house.
