Hi Jeff,
Nice to meet a fellow Beast Master. I can communicate with nature and things also. Funny just like Dar said in the tv show, some animals or insects won't talk to you. Different personalities. I've met some very nice spiders and some pretty nasty ones that really hate humans. My son likes to "pet" wasps, hornets and bumble bees. He never got stung. Little Beast Master in the making here. 
Native Americans believe that machines have a soul and a consciousness. They are right of course.
Sorry Shawn, went off topic again. 
Much Qi,
Diana
