I was thinking about you Koko…

Koko (born July 4, 1971) is a female gorilla who, according to Francine “Penny” Patterson, is able to understand more than 1,000 signs based on American Sign Language. Koko is the focus of The Gorilla Language Project, or Project Koko, is the longest continuous inter-species communications project of its kind in the world.

Koko has advanced further with language than any other non-human. Koko has a working vocabulary of over 1000 signs. However, Koko understands more than 2,000 words of spoken English, so she can follow what others are talking about. Koko usually initiates most of conversations with her human attendants and caretakers and she generally composes statements  and questions averaging three to six words. Koko’s tested IQ of between 70 and 95 on a human scale, where 100 is considered “normal.”

Koko is a Western Lowland Gorilla. These gorillas are nearly extinct.

There are some things that we all dislike and there are some things that I dislike and there are probably some things that you dislike that I like and there are probably some things that I dislike that you like and on this goes to who knows where.

Program Description
This short documentary is filmed in the Democratic Republic of Congo where the last 200 of our world’s silverback mountain gorillas are in a desperate fight for their survival.

May we take a minute more to contemplate the brilliant Koko?

Look at her, she just cares about love.

She’s blessed!

I hope you are blessed today.

Watch these two videos and see what happens to you.

Koko is a female lowland gorilla born in 1971. When the little ape baby, Koko was put together with a psychology graduate student named Francine “Penny” Patterson, the American Sign Language took on new meaning.

It was supposed to be just a short research project. However, as it began, it soon became clear it was to be a lengthy process of learning.

Millions see in Koko, soulful eyes, and intelligence. Do you?

Hunt 4 Truth

For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." https://hunt4truth.wordpress.com/ Absolute Truth is whole, complete and perfect. Absolute Truth is just beyond words, mental concepts, and form; Non-being, yet in everything and yet beyond thought forms. Prayer and meditation fashion in our hearts further honesty, openness, and willingness and thus, we may glimpse guidance and truth to rightly think and act. Any glimpse of truth is not Absolute Truth. It may be sufficient until we renew our commitment to serve God. Life is thus best navigated during mindfulness of prayer and meditation by an inner peace. "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." Romans 1:20
