Bears are my Spirit Animal without a doubt. I have been drawn to them, and collected their images for decades. The two amazing bear loving “open your eyes” humans working so hard to protect these wonderful spiritual creatures who have had a huge impact on me, are Charlie Russell and Jill Robinson. Charlie has now moved on to his next journey, whereas Jill owns and operates Animals Asia, a fabulous organization committed to saving the Moon Bears from unimaginable bear bile farming practices in Asia.

We live in a bear zone, bear habitat. It is so interesting the FEAR that is constantly propagated towards these beautiful beings by humans, and the complete lack of understanding of our connection to all that is.

Bears & Fear | What was lovely to read and understand from Charlie’s work is no animal wishes to harm another being unless they are ravenous, whether they have been able to source enough food. Charlie explains eating during the Spring and Summer time, for bears, food is a mission, it is a job. It is not a pleasure so to speak. It is a necessity that is taken very seriously as the bears must get their weight up to survive the winter months. Therefore, any being that prevents or interferes with this “job” will be warned not attacked. I thought this was an excellent way to explain this, as it shifts the perspective of the bear’s drive. It is not about being out and about and enjoying the warm weather, it is all about food and survival, about “doing their job”. This is why relocating bears is reported to not work as we are shifting them into other bears territory, feeding zones. Very dangerous for the species, our human interference.

Bears, Like Us, Learn Through Mistreatment | He explained through all his years of living and working alongside these magnificent animals, that ONLY those bears who were haunted by humans, mistreated by humans, had their soul depleted by humans, hurt humans. Bears that had never been exposed to the human species, basically ignored humans, with a laissez-fair attitude. It is all about energy and intention. The bears would read the energy, assess no threat present, and continue on. Everything is energy.

The pain and suffering humans emit through lack of questioning, assuming what they are being fed information-wise is true, and “just going along” is causing so much grief on this planet it is hard to sometimes witness.

For more exploration, I invite the reader to read Charlie’s amazing books, visit his website which is being looked after so his work does not go unnoticed, or become archived and lost, https://charlierussellbears.com/. And the Animals Asia website, https://www.animalsasia.org/, which shows us all - what is possible with a little vision to help another.
