Seeing is believing is seeing.

I watched a documentary about crows.<br />
Those black-feathered, mythological rascals. <br />
They're so much smarter than you probably believe.<br />
They remember faces, use tools, plan and <a href="http://youtu.be/JY8-gP3Sw_8" target="_blank">solve problems</a>.<br />
They even <a href="http://youtu.be/mRnI4dhZZxQ" target="_blank">play</a>.<br />
Have you noticed?<br />
Our beliefs about animals, in general, are rapidly changing.<br />
Because we're seeing evidence that makes us reexamine those beliefs.<br />
Evidence that supports sentience, consciousness, even empathy.<br />
Birds, dolphins, horses, dogs.<br />
But we would not have <em>seen</em> the evidence without first changing our beliefs.<br />
Without allowing our minds to accept the possibilities.<br />
Nothing about animals has changed much over the past 100 years.<br />
What has changed is our relationship with them.<br />
Instead of seeing them as pests, or resources for our use and consumption.<br />
They've been our helpers, teachers, companions, part of our families.<br />
And that new way of being and believing has allowed us to see some remarkable behavior.<br />
Yes, seeing is believing.<br />
But we must believe in order to see.<br />
And, unfortunately, all the words in the world won't get you there.<br />
You can't get wet in the word &quot;water.&quot;<br />
You must hear the words in a new way.<br />
In a way that is felt in your bones.<br />
And you can only <em>feel</em> it by <em>being</em> it, by <em>doing</em> it.<br />
Camu wrote, &quot;You cannot create experience.<br />
You must undergo it.&quot;<br />
What do you want to experience?<br />
In your life, with your business, with your team?<br />
Undergo it, and then you'll see it.
