Ours is a constantly evolving, expanding experience. This book documents the current, unstoppable uprising of human consciousness. Using different animals' traits to reflect one person's journey to the light of higher consciousness, author Teza Lord looks to our brothers and sisters of the animal world - as well as the not-so-easily recognized "unseens" of the non-material dimensions - as guides, inspiration, and magical totems in relating her story.

Every human can benefit by embracing their intimate connection with the natural world. Besides the obvious enjoyment of the landscape, this is most easily done by discovering one's unique animal nature. Each chapter of Hybrid Vigor dramatizes a particular animal's tendencies as it mirrors everyday human interactions. Clearly recognizable are the many behavioral characteristics we two-legged humans share with other sentient beings (besides sharing a mind-dizzying high percentage of our DNA, as scientists now tell us).

Reflecting upon other various animals' qualities, Lord investigates how she spiritually benefited by acknowledging being a human animal. In this way, she defines what a hybrid vigor-type of person is: a new, more viable subspecies of homo sapiens. Whether compassionate whale, protective bear, stalwart turtle, skin-shedding snake, or ephemeral light-loving moth, the spirits of all Nature's critters are an intrinsic part of our own humanness. Animals offer us keys to our inevitable evolution to higher understanding.

Hybrid Vigor is a true-life story, hosted by a whimsical feral rooster whose role, and subsequent transformation, will ring our inner bell. Thought-provoking and often amusing parables will help change our thinking about our species' and our entire planet's future possibilities. With visionary illustrations by the author on her website. Narrated by the author. See tezalord.com for more info about the author, whose motto is: "Love is the weapon of mass illumination."
