Most of you have seen African safaris where people venture among wild animals in open top jeeps. They drive up to the animals (sometimes 10 ft or less) without the roof on the cars. What prevents the carnivore from jumping into the cars?

A few metres ahead, a lioness strutted out from the grass to stand in the middle of the road before us. As we watched in awe, pondering her plan, three very young cubs bounded out towards her tumbling over each other. The lioness then slowly moved towards our jeep, walked around it for inspection, then layed down within inches from the right front fender like a cat before an open fire. The three cubs pounced over each other approaching the jeep to play in the headlights.

Have you ever wondered why the lions or cheetahs don’t attack them? I know I have been fascinated by that for a long time and didn’t have an explanation, but now I finally have a satisfying answer.

I have been three or four feet away from lions in open top land cruisers, regular sedans, and completely open small trucks. The lions never even paid any attention to us.

If we look at the situation from the deepest and most basic level of reality the explanation is based on the energy fields that everything is made of. This means that the energy from which the lions are made is attracted by the energy of the things that the lions attack (gazelles, giraffes, buffalos, etc). When humans are out there inside of an open top jeep, the energy of the car is “cloaking” them, meaning that the lions only see the jeep (as a whole) and not the jeep and the people inside. The lions perceives the jeep as a tree or a rock and it won’t attack, because the energy of the jeep doesn’t create attraction for them (lions never ate jeeps to create that connection.). One of the safety rules applied to safaris is to never get out of the car. If you leave the vehicle, raise too high up the open roof or even put one foot on the ground, you’re out of the energy field of the car and you risk being attacked.

Another explanation, a bit “lighter”, is based on the fact that so far the lions haven’t caught on that there’s meat on board these noisy contraptions, and the noisy contraptions don’t compete for food. Lions have learned not to equate tourists to meals-on-wheels, they don’t see cars as a threat, they don’t see cars as edible. This is basically the same as the deep reality explanation, only at another level.

Anyhow, the only time a lion’s gonna charge a jeep is when he’s running towards it holding a Mastercard in his mouth. Just joking.

You might be wondering what does this have to do with the topic of this blog? Well, this is a small example of the fact that energy fields stand at the base of everything.
