A study conducted at Harvard University by Gary D. Sherman and Jonathan Haidt says that people who like pets more than people and those who have a conversation with their pets on a regular basis are more intelligent. The study was focused on an act of attributing human personality to things that aren't human, or, anthropomorphising.

A Behavioral Science professor at the University of Chicago, Nicholas Epley agrees to this by saying, "Historically, anthropomorphising has been treated as a sign of childishness or stupidity, but it's actually a natural byproduct of the tendency that makes humans uniquely smart on this planet."

Sherman and Haidt, during their study, showed the photos of baby animals and adult animals to a group of people; most of who admitted that they would name the baby animals and use gender-specific pronouns on them. They also said that they would talk to the animals if they owned them. Inanimate objects are also a massive part of anthropomorphising. Therefore, if you own a stuffed dolphin, named it "George" and talked to it like it is your one and only true friend, you can take a sigh of relief. All the accusations of you being crazy are finally lifted off, and you are now counted as smarter than your "normal" friends! This condition applies to any age. Hence, it doesn't matter if your 8 or 80 years old, you are still in the intelligent population!

Anthropomorphism is also a sign of a high level of creativity. For example, if you drew a picture of a human and pasted it on your bedroom wall, you would confuse your brain and would want to name the person in the picture and have a conversation with them. But this is not crazy at all, this is natural human behaviour, and of course, a smart one!

Performing anthropomorphism continuously is, besides, even very helpful for our pets! They start learning specific words and gestures from us, which makes communication easier. So your dog recognising your sadness or anger and empathizing with you is actually a result of anthropomorphism.

Hence, the next time someone gives you "the look" of confusion when you are talking to your pet, you know how to defend yourself! Go ahead and talk to your little buddy and be assured of your sanity.

In 1960, Stanford radiophysicist Ronald Bracewell first suggested the idea that "superior galactic communities" could disperse autonomous interstellar probes as "hypothetical feelers" throughout space in order to observe, monitor, and maybe even communicate with other life-forms, including those on Earth. "A probe located nearby could bide its time while our civilisation developed technology that could find it, and, once contacted, could undertake a conversation in real time," Benford explains in his new paper. "Meanwhile, it could have been routinely reporting back on our biosphere and civilisation for long eras."

But while this decades-old concept of Bracewell probes has been explored in subsequent research and embraced by science fiction--most notably as the eerie monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Other observations, such as the "monoliths" on Mars and Phobos, present tantalizing possibilities.

Now, Benford has proposed the ideal place where alien-made "lurkers" could be present in our Solar System, stationed to observe in ever-watchful silence. In his new paper, the physicist says such hidden, long-lived robotic lurkers would do well to set up their stakeout on a class of rocky near-Earth objects (NEO) called co-orbital objects. Like their name suggests, these quasi-satellites of Earth perform orbital loops around the Sun that are similar to Earth's own orbital pattern, and they do it in close proximity to Earth, being gravitationally bound to our own planet in addition to the Sun. Only a small number of such objects has ever been found by astronomers. The closest known one to Earth, called 2016 HO3, is a small asteroid described by NASA as "Earth's constant companion".

"2016 HO3 loops around our planet, but never ventures very far away as we both go around the Sun," NASA NEO researcher Paul Chodas explained in 2016. "In effect, this small asteroid is caught in a little dance with Earth."

But co-orbital objects could turn out to be much more than Earth's dancing partners, Benford suggests. Due to their constant orbital proximity, these nearby space rocks might offer an optimal vantage point for robotic probes seeking to keep tabs on us. "These near-Earth objects provide an ideal way to watch our world from a secure natural object," his paper explains. "That provides resources an ETI might need: materials, a firm anchor, and concealment."

QUANTUM HEALTH TIP: It is said that happiness is all about exploring new possibilities. Use the Cosmic Eye Meditation Elixir to expand your viewpoint, increase intuition and elevate your feelings.

Your body has a mind of its own, which we experience as instincts, impulses, and habits. The first time you grabbed a snack at work from the vending machine, it was a new activity. You felt hunger, and consciously formulated the desire and plan to do it. After having done that several times, in the future, you're mind will automatically thrust the desire and plan to get a snack on you, even if you don't want one. This instinctual response is a habit which exists at the body mind level.

The big takeaway is that your choices map directly on to your physiology, which includes everything you brought into that action. Your view of yourself, the way you see the world, the judgments you place on yourself and others, all of this gets encoded, becoming a pattern your body operates from.

This means being careful with how you frame your motivations is important so as to avoid issues later. For instance, if you always motivate yourself with negative emotion to perform daily tasks, like cleaning, cooking, and work, you'll hardcode your brain to feel toxic emotions when doing these tasks.

All of this highlights the difference between the somatic mind and the intellectual mind. The way your intellectual thoughts get unpacked into the body is through action and dramatisation. When you imagine yourself doing something, you're dramatizing. When you feel something in response, that feeling indicates you're rewiring your brain and body in relation thereto.

QUANTUM HEALTH TIP: Stress is one of those unwelcome negative associations that can literally take the fun out of life. With stress, what may have used to have been enjoyable can become tedious, or even painful. The E-1 Sress Relief Formula eliminates the flight-or-fight response we may be having, even unconsciously, allowing you to retrieve positive associations with activities, things, and people in your life.

Originally, two-pointing was delineated by Dr. Richard Bartlett as part of his body of work called "Matrix Energetics", and covered at length in his book by the same name. Two-Pointing is a way to collapse an energy blockage by using two index fingers touching two points around an injured or painful area of the body. Do this using several different points. By putting the attention on two points simultaneously, it collapses the "standing wave" that is blocking or inhibiting energy flows across the painful area. Great first aid!
