Elephants
Elephants are my favorite animals. They express much more love, empathy, respect for ancestors, care for their own kind, than "humans" do. Elephants are very spiritual creatures, more human than the "humans". Elephants are vegetarians, they do not hurt or kill other animals to feed themselves.
In my view, elephants are ones of the most perfect creatures. Creatures created by God (in my view of understanding the God). I cannot say that for many of the other creatures living on the Earth, including for most of the people.
I always watch this video with tears in my eyes.

Here I also want to mention one of my bestest friends, Karl, who I lost 3 months ago, and he is the reason how I found this forum. Our connection with the elephants can be understood only by him and me. My friend, I am sure you are on a better place now, surrounded with many elephants and your female dog you wanted to have. I know you can see and read this. I miss you a lot! Please forgive me I couldn't help you!
p.s. I apologize if I offended anyone.

I love elephants so much...I can't really look at them, knowing what I know.
My heart breaks. Enough said...they are very special, yes.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Beautiful animals.
My heart also breaks knowing what happens to so many elephants. I think we all know who the real beasts are in this world.
Thanks for your kindness, Kanik.

I think every living thing has the capacity for intelligence and spirituality. Even insects, which I didn't think so until a few years ago from an experience I had when I rescued a honeybee out of the dog's kiddy pool one morning. Elephants are indeed intelligent and soulful creatures.

I have had a lot of experiences with Elephants. I claim they are one of my Totem animals.
TRAVELER:
I have had wonderful experiences with Yellow Jacket Wasps. I can't remember how many times they have landed on my hand and I have turned the hand over several times, and the Wasp is 'still there'.

Years ago, I went to the zoo. When we got to the elephants, one came very close to me.
She was beautiful, but when we looked at each other, I saw so much sadness in her eyes.
I kept thinking of her for the rest of the visit.
I've never visited a zoo since.

As for me, all the experience I have had with Elephants have all ended up as pleasant memories.
For example, I remember one night, a hand slowly and softly entered my left, front pocket. I reached down and grabbed the thief's hand only to find it was a baby elephant's trunk.
