Apprenticeship

In traditional ways and societies, important knowledge is learned through apprenticeship. The why's are many and the results are directly proportional to the effort. The teacher gives the student the key to the next step only when they are ready, assuring that information will not crowd out their understanding.

The knowledge gained through apprenticeship is important useful knowledge, not separated from it's application. It shows it merit through it's usefulness. It appears when and where it is needed.

April works long and hard hours, time dedicated to her work of helping the harmony within the web of life and relieving the pain for those creatures who have been wounded by the lack of harmony.

All of the creatures feel April's love and commitment and respond as they can, this has helped her to develop her gift of communication and that gift has opened the door to a great deal of knowledge. The Animals, Plants, Trees, and Flowers speak in their own way to April and share their secrets. The Elder spirits look kindly and lovingly at April and share their knowledge.

Knowledge, deep understanding is not to squandered or wasted but seen, lived and treated as a gift. It is not the same as information, words taken and stored separated from source and ready like building blocks to construct personal creations fortifying our self importance. lf we do not live the knowledge we are given, it is taken back.

To be an apprentice at Animal Visions is to work long hours, doing hard physical work and yet maintaining a loving caring attitude, not trying to measure out what your given for what you do. The gain is the work, important caring work, life saving work, spirit building work. The knowledge comes as you need it, when you least suspect, bringing a smile to you face as you understand. Understand, an interesting word, but a more interesting feeling. This kind of knowledge comes slowly and gradually as you see and feel the connections, see and feel the harmony. The work is hard and physical, challenging and strengthening the body. The rewards are emotional and spiritual, bringing joy while developing a loving caring spirit.

If you feel that this kind of dedicated work is for you and you would like some help getting started. If you need a little inspiration and understanding and don't mind the hours and getting your hands dirty; then maybe you should consider apprenticeship. For the right person or persons, this is the gateway to living and developing a deep understanding of nature and circle of life. For the right person, this doorway will set them on the path to their personal happiness as they discover the fulfillment that comes from saving and improving physical and emotional lives . Knowing that the work they are doing is helping the world be a better place.
