Qué es lo que ves primero ?

Esta pintura ilustra nuestros miedos subconscientes a través de lo que notamos primero al observarla. Comienza mirando la pintura de arriba, “Butterfly Apple” del artista surrealista Vladimir Kush.

¿Qué cosa en la pintura captó primero tu atención?

Te revelaremos lo que tu medio inconsciente según lo que inmediatamente captó tu atención visual.

El cuchillo: si primero notaste el cuchillo, sugiere que temes subconscientemente la enfermedad terminal sin saberlo. Muchos de los que ven el cuchillo comparten el mismo miedo al sufrimiento y la preocupación de que puedan pasar en cualquier momento.

La oruga: Aquellos que notan a la oruga de inmediato tienen un miedo subconsciente de lo paranormal. Este miedo a los fantasmas, también conocido como phasmophobia, afecta a aquellos que creen que las entidades potenciales son de naturaleza malévola.

La mariposa: Ver primero la mariposa significa que puedes tener un miedo inconsciente a la traición. Por lo general, aquellos que notan primero la mariposa han sido traicionados más de una vez en el pasado y tienen un temor subyacente de que vuelva a suceder.

La manzana: Si descubriste la manzana primero, esto significa que tienes un miedo inconsciente de que tus seres queridos mueran. Esto generalmente es común para aquellos que ya han perdido a alguien que los cierra y no pueden soportar la idea de experimentar ese dolor nuevamente.

remembering koko on mother’s day & her birthday| all gorillas are kokos, help protect them and their environment !

 

Penny has been like a mother to Koko, from the time she began caring for her as a baby gorilla, through years of communication-based research and relationship building, to the present, where Koko now exhibits many of the same maternal qualities to her kittens, great ape dolls and human caregivers.

There is so much to learn from Koko and other gorillas, as we begin to make basic (sign-language) communication skills accessible to all captive gorillas, and Koko extends her (motherly) love to the next generation.

Visit us at http://www.koko.org to learn more and help us all “talk with the animals.”

Koko would have been 47 on July 4th, 2018, but passed away in her sleep on June 19th.  We all deeply miss her, but will also be forever inspired by her to fulfill her dream of a more caring world.

all gorillas are kokos ! they can communicate, understand and have feelings and empathy! stop killing them !

 

Koko has taken care of many kittens, and helped raise them to become healthy cats, over the years. Yet, she continues to start over each time with as much enthusiasm as she had when she first adopted “All Ball” (who she named) 30 years ago.  See how she’s doing with her latest feline friends, Ms. Gray and Ms. Black, whom she adopted only a couple of years ago.  Koko has become a role model for both interspecies communication and empathy.

Fortunately, she is not unique — all gorillas have the same intrinsic capability to gesture meaningfully and care about others who are often quite different than themselves.  This observation has the potential to save all endangered great apes, and to enrich our relationships with them in captivity!

Please support the Gorilla Foundation to realize this potential: http://www.koko.org

koko’s kittens !

 

Koko got her birthday wish this July 4th — not only did one kitten come to visit, but a whole litter.  Koko fell in love with one, and the other fell in love with her.  Koko has adopted these two kittens into her family, and it has energized her world.

Not only have Koko’s maternal and play instincts kicked in, but she is signing more to her caregivers and generating new content everyday that can be used by The Gorilla Foundation to create empathy for great apes.  This can have significant benefits to both endangered free-living great apes and those in captive environments, by encouraging the development of  2-way communication with their caregivers (which Koko has had since she was a baby).

The Gorilla Foundation is now working on a multimedia sequel to the classic book, “Koko’s Kitten,” which has already reached millions of children worldwide, and has the power to motivate millions more to learn how to  make the world a better place for all of its conscious inhabitants.

You can support The Gorilla Foundation mission of Conservation through Communication by visiting http://www.koko.org — thank you!

Koko’s kittens, Ms. Gray and Ms. Black, who appeared first in the video “Meet Koko’s New Kittens,”  are growing into cats.  Koko enjoys engaging with them as they grow, and as their personalities and relationships — with each other and with Koko — begin to change.  (If you missed the original video of Koko first meeting her new kittens, you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/gR6MeFFzqQ8 )

we will miss u koko ! thanks for all u have taught us !

 

Koko was a gorilla who actually proved animals CAN talk to us.
She knew at least 1,000 words of American Sign Language (ASL) and could understand about 2,000 words of spoken English. Koko became an international celebrity during the late Seventies. She was featured in multiple documentaries and on the cover of magazines.

On the morning of June 19, 2018 she died in her sleep. Koko the incredible talking gorilla will certainly be missed by fans around the world!

remembering koko who died in june 2018

 

With a sign language vocabulary of more than a 1,000 words and the ability to understand thousands more, Koko was a scientific marvel and source of wonder for decades. The Western Lowland gorilla, who died this week at the age of 46, captured the world’s attention not just for her communication skills, but also for her displays of human-like emotions. Anthony Mason reports.
