To tell you the story of how The Pablo Principle came about, I have to tell you about Pasha, Vinny, Chezy, Mägs, and lastly of Pablo.

Let’s begin with Pasha:

I met Pasha when he was two and a half years old and full of life. Turned in because of experiences so irritating the fifteen pound Jack Russell, Chihuahua mix just wanted to be left alone. So I did – I gave him space and let him be his own man. What a great companion he was. Nobody but a few chosen ones were allowed to touch him and only I was ever accepted and allowed in his first circle.

He left me fifteen years later a better man.

Later, his wisdom would show up once again in a dream I had after Chezy died… but, I’m getting ahead of myself.

Pasha’s body gave out like that of an old man tired of participating. I knew he was about to leave, but I did not anticipate the hole his departure left in my chest. The void I experienced was unprecedented and when it was filled  by the most angelic being I had met up to this point in my life – mind you, I was forty years old at the time – I was, quite frankly, shocked.

But here he was; Vinny or how I called him in private Don Vincenzo.

Out of this world beautiful – in and out – this little Chihuahua, Miniature Pincher mix had the heart of an angel and the personality of a saint – later he became St. Vincent.

Everywhere he went, he spread love, harmony, and joy. Truly an amazing incarnation who did not want to leave but remain in service.

At one point Vinny called for a brother and Chezy answered his call.

Chezy was the most distrusting of all dogs I have encountered so far. He needed someone like me to recover, to recuperate, to expand into what he became. And I needed him to innerstand devotion. I called him the love of my life so much, I believed it until I understood his role in my life. Chezy reminded me what it meant to “be” alive. Moreover, he prepared me for a dream that changed everything.

Here the dream a couple of days after Chezy died:

I walk on the beach in Santa Barbara, California as I have done many dozens of times. I see something sticking out of the sand and pick it up. It was a Genie’s lamp and as I’m brushing off the sand – as sure as it does in fairytales, a genie appears to grant me three wishes.

In my dream I place my wish – I wish that my two dogs that had died so far, Pasha and Chezy, both would answer me each a question.

You may ask where Vinny is in this K9 succession? Well, Vinny had chosen the woman in my life as hers. I found him, she saw him, he saw her and it was all over and decided. Vinny separated from me like an ovum is released to meet with its destiny. He chose the feminine and I saw that it was good. And besides, Vinny was alive and well when I had this dream.

Back to the dream.

I wished that both Pasha and Chezy answered the following question: What do you independently of one another think we humans need to understand from your point of view?

Still dreaming I got the answers:

Pasha in his proud and regal ways said: “When you are with us (dogs) then be with us.” Short and sweet it was clear that my guilty conscience was justified, because I left my little friend alone way too many times. I know he endured my absence stoically for he never complained or demonstrated dismay. He was a trooper in the perfect sense of the word.    

Chezy on the other hand had this to say about his experience with us humans: “For you men; stop arguing with your woman. For you women; stop resisting your man. You both do so many things right – so just stop it with the drama.”

When I woke up I had to smile at myself and at the visitors I invited to each use one of the three wishes I so graciously received on a beach in Santa Barbara.

A few days after Chezy died in my arms, Mägs came into my life. I first gave him a place to be while his previous owner went on a ski vacation and was going to leave him in an unheated wintergarden for the duration. “What a prick,” I thought and took the German Shepherd into my house. Once Matz (his slave name) arrived, I realized what terrible shape he was in. He was under-fed and nearly aggressive when it came to food and affection. Fast forward, I adopted him and a little girl who drew and renamed him by signing his name beneath her drawing. Instead of Max – the name I gave him – she ­wrote down “Mägs”, which became his new and very befitting name. Mägs needed one full year to fully recover and come into his power. Once he gained the muscle mass he required to live fully according to his potential and calm his mind to the point of being the man he was destined to be, I was ready for him. We had about eighteen months of bliss before an infection began to take him down. He lived a dismal life for nearly nine years and had nearly three years of bliss with me. He died peacefully and stoically – I miss him the most of all and wished to inoculate the collective consciousness with what he supplied to me so freely. Mägs is the reason why I’ve opened my heart to humanity again. Not because of humanity, but because of the loyalty, the devotion, and the connection he elicited in me.

The Pablo Principle:

During the time of Mägs I had a client – I was working as a mental coach testing a project I was assembling called EEM (Endogenous Exogenous Management) – who showed up with her Chihuahua. The little dog clearly had issues. She placed her dog in a carry-contraption next to a table and we started the session. After a couple of minutes, I noticed that her dog was apathetically just standing there facing a corner. I couldn’t have that and went to pick up the little man. She tried to intervene, but it was too late. I already took her dog in my arms and proceeded with the session. She was amazed that I could pick him up and could not believe her eyes when her dog fell asleep in my arms while talking to her about her issues.

During the remainder of the session, it became clear to me that the dog was mirroring her neurosis. I communicated my observation and proposed the possibility of assessing her progress by her engaging more thoroughly and more profoundly with her dog. Her tears confirmed the welcomed accuracy of my plan and the rest is history.

Before she left that day I asked the name of the little Chihuahua and she replied: “His name is Pablo.”  

Right then and there – I mean after the client and little Pablo had left my place – I created the Pablo Principle and here is the run-down on how I thought it could work:

• Adopt an older dog – not a puppy. Make sure that the dog chooses you.

• Understand that this dog has had a previous owner or was in an environment resulting in neurotic, possibly even psychotic behavior.

• Let the dog arrive at your dwelling.

• Engage with the animal in a way that the dog is able to release its anxiety, its fear, its uncertainty, and/or its anger toward whatever traumatized it in its previous environment.

• By allowing the dog to heal, you, the KAHU of this sentient being, heal incongruencies in your own psyche and you charge the collective consciousness with healing frequencies in regard to animal abuse, animal neglect, and/or misunderstandings when it comes to animal instincts.

• Over time the “arriving” of the adopted dog means that the previous traumas are neutralized according to the severity of trauma and the temperament of the animal. Arriving means that the dog has accepted your rhythm of life. If you have psychological issues yourself, your newly adopted dog  is navigating new territory and will mirror what needs to be remedied within your psyche. Many times a dog is a psychological support animal and should be honored as such.

• Socialization is mainly done for the dog. However often we humans benefit along the way.

• Dogs are divine beings and a genuine connection to them is connecting to divinity itself.

The Pablo Principle is a viable attempt to empty the animal shelters, to heal collective psychosis within humanity in regards to living with animals, and to neutralize – through morphic resonance – the disconnect to nature.

About three months after Mägs left this mortal coil, I was ready for a companion again. I wanted a puppy, a small dog without issues, a dog that I could mold along my own philosophy, a being to which I could be a Kahu without having to undo first what other humans had done. I wanted to see what connection I could experience with a dog that hadn’t been traumatized by human disconnect, by ignorance, or as I like to call it – memotional illiteracy.  

A word to memotional illiteracy:

With illiteracy I’m not talking about the inability to read or write, for illiteracy in the twenty-first century is an inability to learn, unlearn and relearn new information. And memotional means the combination of the mental and the emotional body.

When there is a disconnect between the mental and the emotional body, there is an incongruency, a disharmony, a lack of innerstanding that often surfaces as neurotic or psychotic behavior. Unless, of course, mental and/or emotional expressions have fallen asleep to an extent that a person is convinced that they are no longer relevant for survival.

Back to me being ready to finding a new four-legged companion.  

There were two breeds of dogs that interested me at the time. The French Bulldog and the English Bullterrier. The Frenchy because – well, how can you not love that face – and the Bullterrier because everybody I talked to called the breed unattractive, *ç%?, or simply ugly. I decided to call the Bullterrier beautiful and I’m standing by my decision.

Moments later, I heard of a litter of French Bulldog and English Bulldog mix having been confiscated by animal control and ready for adoption. There were two puppies left and I was on my way to get me a puppy of the best of two worlds. When I arrived I first saw the male – the father. I expected an English Bullterrier and found  a mix between an English a Continental and a French Bulldog – a beautiful specimen, just beautiful (a little bit of love at first sight). The mother was a small Staffordshire Terrier mix. The two puppies didn’t resemble neither the French nor the English Bullterrier – beautiful but not what I expected.

It may sounds superficial, but I just wanted a clean slate, I wanted my clean slate.

I took the male and the female for a walk to see if their demeanor and temperament was in line with what I wanted – I know it sounds rather superficial, but just bear with me.

Walking the two adults, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to change direction and stay true to the breed that produced the love of my life. I decided to continue my search and find me a Chihuahua.

Before leaving I told the manager of the rescue place my decision and reassured her that she would not have problems finding places for all four – especially for the male (remember there was this moment of love at first sight). I said my goodbyes and just before taking off I asked for the names of the dogs; I think I was just making conversation more than genuinely wanting to know. This because so far I have renamed every dog I’ve adopted. She indulged my question pointing to the male who looked at me with eyes that said, ‘You’re mine’, and answered: “His name is Pablo.”

I did not hear the names of the female or the puppies because an avalanche of thoughts cascaded through my body remembering the Pablo Principle I put together a good nine months before that day.

I left sticking to my guns until I got a phone call about ten days later. Everybody but Pablo was adopted and he, alone for probably the first time, started lamenting until his frustration climaxed in a continuous howl.

On the phone the next day, the manager of the rescue station pleaded with me to adopt him until I agreed to foster Pablo.

Well, Pablo turned out to be such a wonderful man that the same woman who snagged Vinny, do you remember Don Vincenzo, snagged Pablo for herself. I thought that I had found my next companion. However it turned out I was just the middle man. He is still in my life because the woman – the dog thief – is still in my life.

And now, I’m immortalizing him all because of a little Chihuahua named “Pablo”.           

Next the Why, the What, and the How of the Pablo Principle can be viewed to navigate the complex landscape of the human condition in regard to other sentient yet non human beings followed by more interesting information – all according to Chironautics. 

WHY:

• The Pablo Principle begins with the understanding that one should adopt an older dog rather than a puppy. This because an older dog arrives carrying memory, trauma, survival patterns, and emotional depth that invite a genuine relationship based on healing rather than ownership.

• Every dog chooses you as much as you choose the dog.

• Knowing that an adopted dog comes from environments that may have produced anxiety, fear, neurosis, aggression, or emotional fragmentation is part of the deal. As its Kahu you know it is not about dominating or fixing the animal, but to allow it to arrive – physically, emotionally, and spiritually – within a new rhythm of life.

• The relationship therefore becomes reciprocal: As the dog heals, so does the human and this shared process contributes healing frequencies to the collective consciousness surrounding animal abuse, neglect, and humanity’s misunderstanding of animal instincts.

• Many dogs become psychological support beings in ways only truly understood in hindsight. Know this and honor them accordingly.

• Dogs are regarded not merely as pets, but as divine sentient beings whose companionship offers a direct connection to empathy, healing, and divinity itself.

• Dogs are a gateway to the God-connection we have in us.

• On a more realistic note: People have grown fragmented and are constantly looking for a quick fix. Getting a puppy is cute but nearly never solves the void that prompted the purchase. Know your shortcomings and do not abandon yourself as quickly as some people surrender their animals.

• Dogs especially take on our pain, our frustration, sadness, neurosis, and even mediate psychotic behavior with stoicism and a resilience we can only learn from.

WHAT:

• Within the energy of the Pablo Principle, a dog’s “arrival” signals the willingness to trust, to engage, and to accept responsibility for ourselves within the human spectrum.  

• Adopting an older dog is an act of mutual healing rather than ownership.

• What could be seen as karmic play reflects in the fact that a dog chooses the human as much as the human chooses the dog.

• We recognize that many adopted dogs carry trauma, fear, anxiety, or emotional fragmentation from previous environments, and that true guardianship begins by accepting a new rhythm of life – for both dog and human.

• The Principle stipulates that dogs have the ability to mirror unresolved psychological incongruencies within the human spectrum, creating an opportunity for multidimensional transformation.

• Socialization, patience, and emotional presence are not merely training methods, but pathways through which both dog and human release fear, restore trust, and participate in healing.

• Participants within the Pablo Principle positively charge the collective consciousness surrounding animal suffering.

• At its core, the Pablo Principle regards dogs as divine sentient beings whose companionship offers a direct connection to empathy, humility, to psychological healing, and spiritual awareness.

So it is that the Pablo Principle is a dog adoption protocol to find or rediscover the door to one’s own garden. The only caveat; we can only walk through that door with a dog beside us.  

HOW:

• Rooted in patience, trust, and mutual understanding both dog and human release anxiety, loneliness, fear, and emotional isolation through companionship and shared routines.

• Daily routines, regular movement, social engagement beget healthier biological rhythms.  

• The Principle supports psychological growth by revealing behavioral shortcomings within the human spectrum. Using the dog’s behavior, humans may grow more self-aware, naturally regulate compassion, and become more conscious of unresolved issues.

• It strengthens social and communal wellbeing because the process of walking, socializing, and integrating a dog into society often opens meaningful human interactions, increases empathy toward animals, and deepens understanding of instinct, vulnerability, and care.

• Spiritually, the Pablo Principle teaches that dogs are divine sentient beings whose unconditional presence reconnects humans to humility, intuition, empathy, and a living experience of sacred companionship, transforming adoption into a practice of spiritual awareness and healing.

The point of the Pablo Principle is the karmic task of caring for innocent beings on their physical journey of healing chronically wounded spiritual connections.  The opportunity to mend a disconnect within the human spectrum is an evolutionary responsibility of the highest order.

• Foundational information on behavioral help for both the dog and its Kahu – “you” – is offered within the psychosomatic world in Chironautics.

  Begin with:

  • Thoughts and Feelings

  • The Power of Thought

  • Triggers

More information:

Layers of existence

• Layer 1 and layer 2: Most humans live here

  • Layer 1 = pure survival – eat, sleep, react

  • Layer 2 = social mimic. Doing something to fit in, but still ruled by fear and programming.

• Layer 3: This is where people recognize the system for what it is. They:

  • Question authorities

  • Explore conspiracies

  • Realize that things aren’t what they seem

  • Are still trapped in reaction

• Layer 4: When a person steps back and observes, they:

  • Stop fighting

  • Stop looping

  • Are just observing

• Layer 5: Embodiment

  • You live your truth not just knowing it

  • You authentically create

  • You anchor new ways of “being”

• Layer 6: Soul memory

  • You tap into your soul memory

  • You access multi-dimensional awareness

  • You serve from “overflow”

  • You may say: “I can no longer not do otherwise.”

• Layer 7: Christ consciousness

  • Very rare in humanity

  • Fully fused with source

  • No mimic left – completely authentic

Most dogs are naturally in layer 4.

A dog observes and surrenders:

• Honest

• Nonjudgmental

• Dogs don’t pretend; they feel

• If living with a stressed or anxious human, a dog may absorb neurosis/psychosis and dip into Layer 2. Confused, looping, protective, or afraid.

• A dog can also shift upward. If a human rises to level 5, a dog will follow by way of regulating their field.

• A dog’s nervous system synchs with that of the human. There is no ego holding them back. They can clear instantly.

• If a human is calm on the surface, but anxious on the inside, a dog may be anxious. This is because dogs don’t read appearances, they read fields. If a human is suppressing emotions, masking pain, or holding unresolved trauma inside, the dog feels that. If you’re holding back tears or living in survival mode with a smile on your face – your dog knows.

• A dog’s nervous system is constantly synching with yours.

• A dog is like a frequency barometer.

• If a dog has been in an environment of chaos, neglect, or fear, it may carry this energy still in its field.

The Pablo Principle is a modality for humans to embody neutralizing frequencies of the previous environment a dog was in. The time it takes for a dog to synch up with a new environment is short. The time it takes for a dog to regulate and let go of the memory of a previous environment depends on the trauma it had to endure.

How to assist a dog struggling with the process of regulation:

• Don’t try to calm your dog down – calm your field down first.

• Without words or commands, put one hand on your chest and one hand on the dog’s body. Deep steady presence. Breathe slowly and calmly.

• Give time for the dog to feel your heart rate slow. Let your dog feel how you drop into your body. This conveys viscerally to them that they’re safe.

• Match their eyes for a moment. Don’t stare, just a soft glance and say: “You are allowed to be here now.” This simple phrase shifts the imprint. In many previous homes they didn’t feel welcomed or seen.  

• Repeat until the dog stops scanning its environment for threats.

Cats are naturally holding a consistent Layer 5 signal. Not because they worked themselves up like humans do, but because they never dropped. They never fell into the mimic and looping – like we and dogs did. This is why they seem detached or aloof. Cats are not here to please humans or to perform. Cats observe, reflect, and hold field integrity. When a cat deeply bonds to a human, it operates closely to a Layer 6. It begins to mimic behavior, sleep cycles and give sudden, intense eye contact. This is not affection, this is alignment.

Here a couple of words on my past and present four legged companions:

Pasha: Dreaming to be with me more

Vinny: Let’s help everyone and everybody

Chezy: Dream / Teach / Dream

Mägs: Catching up / Living with joy / Dying well

Pablo: Andiamo a mangiare – all for joyous moments or in his own words: “If you can’t eat it, make puppies with it, can’t play with it – pee on it and walk away.” Furever yours – Pablo
