Dear Humans,
Today I wish to return to your
awareness an aspect of the Human
condition that is as fundamental as the air we breathe and the water
we drink. It's the basic necessity for food, and more specifically,
our proclivity for eating meat.
Not so long ago Humankind shared a
sacred bond with the animals.
Scarcity of resources and the specter of starvation necessitated a
cooperative, mutually-beneficial relationship that fostered close
ties. Those who kept livestock were not detached from their animals.
They knew their habits and ways, and some were given names. Even the
bow hunter, who revered the natural world, would bond with their
kill in a way not seen in our time.
The butchering was surely difficult for some, mechanical for others.
It was clearly impractical to develop ties or fondness for a certain
goat, calf, chicken or rabbit. Survival instinct would trump such
affections.
Even so, sometimes the slaughter was done by a neighbor
or friend in exchange for the return favor. In the end, the meal was
greatly appreciated and there were prayers of thankfulness.
In modern times we know little or nothing about the animal that was
corralled, killed and rendered for our pleasure.
We simply see
bright red meat wrapped in cellophane cooling in a store
refrigerator. And so it's clear there's a major disconnect between
the actual animal and the cooked muscle tissue sitting on our plate.
To most it's just a faceless hotdog, burger or steak.
If one can get
a hotdog wrapped in bacon - we'll that's even better. There's little
or no thought about the animals that were sacrificed along the way.
Fast food epitomizes this disconnection. Here we find conveniently
cooked meat in a bag at a takeout window.
Sure, I'll take fries with
that.
In the following paragraphs I invite you on a brief journey along a
path that divides social norms and expectations from an
inner-knowing and higher consciousness. On this path there is no
judgment or condemnation. It is not about right or wrong. It's about
choice.
And with all matters of choice there are both benefits and
consequences.
The Shy Vegetarian
Having long abstained from the practice of eating meat, the world
has unfolded in a different way for me. I don't readily volunteer
the fact I'm vegetarian, mostly because people tend to recoil a bit
upon hearing it.
And so I find myself dancing around the restaurant
menu with some trepidation searching for a grilled-cheese sandwich
or something to that effect.
"Would you like steak in the grilled
cheese" - they ask.
No thank you - but I'll take it with a salad, I
say.
"Would you like steak or chicken on your salad?"
Just a salad
with no meat please.
"Oh… then you'll have to order from the kid's
menu."
So I order from the kids menu and sometimes I get crayons and
a coloring book too.
I dare not say I don't eat meat, for that ushers in a shudder and
awkward silence.
Meat is steeped in tradition and anchored to the
fulcrums of culture. You eat, drink and laugh. Take one leg off that
stool and you're in trouble. And which spirit goes best with a
particular cut of meat? Well that question is bewildering to the
vegetarian.
Of which spirit do you speak of, I might ask? Ah yes, of
course, the alcohol variety. I knew that. And so I think to myself,
I won't be invited back to this shindig.
I've had others tell me I should be more upfront and vocal about my
ideology. I tell them it's a choice I made for personal reasons. I
can't and don't expect anyone else to feel as I do. I like animals.
I used to like eating them too. But I began to sense something
rather chilling.
After considerable reflection and contemplation I
came to realize that a nefarious energy was encouraging us to eat
meat. It was almost as if… they wanted us to eat meat.
But who are "they" exactly. This is a rabbit hole few will dare jump
down.
Suffice to say there is considerable horror associated with
slaughterhouses and the so-called meat packing plants. I won't watch
the videos on YouTube, though they've brought much awareness to the
atrocities. They're simply too disturbing.
Any entity that wishes to
cultivate a denser vibration within a societal construct would most
certainly promote meat consumption. And not just for meat's sake-
but for the brutality associated with it.
The industry doesn't
simply sell meat - they push it!
They exploit it, sexualize it and
associated it with virility, masculinity and a host of other
nonsensical things. But those with vision can see through the
disturbing machinations and elevate above it.
We hear terms such as
"Archons" and other supposedly malevolent
entities that perhaps feed upon our aggression and fear. If so, then
war must certainly be a scrumptious buffet for them.
Now for some
this is outlandish speculation. Pure bunk!
I understand...
But I have
felt this vibration called "Archon" and I know it's real and I will
not do its bidding. And so I refuse to eat meat. I will never go
back to my former level of aggression.
In the modern world we have a
choice and we have access to high-quality food that is vegan and
vegetarian and it all tastes really good too. The transition is
liberating and enlightening. And when one feels the internal
strength associated with not needing meat anymore, it is uplifting
and absolutely empowering.
When one accepts the slaughter of intelligent animals, then,
-
How far
of a stretch is it really to accept the brutal slaughter of our own
kind?
-
Does looking at torn and packaged ribs on a supermarket shelf
somehow desensitize us to brutality?
-
Do we see the ground meat under
a cellophane wrap and ever wonder how different it might be from our
own?
-
Do we simply shrug our shoulders and dismiss these thoughts
because they're uncomfortable?
-
Do we simply shrug our shoulders and
dismiss the horrors of war because it's too uncomfortable?
-
How far
do we go with the erosion of our awareness?
-
Where does this erosion
lead us?
These are the sort of questions I ponder.
I've found this
does not make for good dinner conversation...
Being Vegetarian is Good for You
- and Other Myths
Being vegetarian CAN be very good for you indeed
- but the truth is
many "vegetarians" load up on pasta, pizza, cookies, donuts and
vegetarian certified beer.
The relative health of a vegetarian is
clearly debatable.
One must be mindful of a "colorful" diet
consisting of vegetables and fruits and nuts of all kinds. For those
that enjoy dairy there are considerations as well. Are they "happy"
cows and are the eggs from happy chickens? There is much controversy
over what happens to the animals after their milk and egg-laying
days are over.
I embrace the idea that animals and Humans can
potentially enjoy a harmonious and beneficial coexistence where we
provide them with food and comfort in exchange for what they produce
naturally. I realize this is not always practical in most commercial
operations.
And for this reason, more than any other, I've swayed
toward veganism.
Those aren't fangs - but carnivores (or omnivores) are quick to point
out that we Humans must be designed to eat meat otherwise we would
not have "canine" teeth. If one were to study the Human mouth and
jaw properly, they would soon realize those teeth do not even
remotely qualify as true omnivore canine.
Simply look at the teeth
of a cat or wolf to be reminded what fangs really look like. They
are quite slender, sharply pointed and very long.
The teeth of the Human more closely resemble the herbivore and even
closer to (the fruit eating) frugivore. And unlike the carnivore, we
have large salivary glands, a masticating lateral jaw movement and
must take little baby bites at a time.
But if it makes the
meat-eater feel better that four of their teeth vaguely resemble
fangs, then let it be their decision to eat whatever (or whoever)
they want. Humans are versatile in what they can eat. I once read
about someone who ate an entire airplane. It's not about what we can
eat. It's about the choices we make.
Vegetarians are meek - well not the ones I know.
They will get in
your face and tell you off in an instant if they feel a need to do
so. In all fairness, it can be a huge challenge just coping with the
aggressions of this world and sometimes it gets the best of them.
But on the plus side, because their energetics are uniquely
different, it's much harder for the herbivore to be bamboozled by
those who swim in denser waters.
Those that try don't get very far.
Meat eaters employ a
denser skillset when seeking control,
domination or manipulation over a situation or another person. Such
techniques seem to work pretty well on other carnivores, since they
operate within the same vibrational strata.
Ultimately the bigger
dog wins - or something like that.
Vegetarians usually see through
mal-intent and disingenuous motivations just as clearly as they can
see through a plate of glass. But they are less apt to engage in
physical confrontation.
You never really hear of a violent
vegetarian, except for perhaps Hitler, although this is disputed.
Imagine the headline,
"Vegetarian Holds Up Bank - Takes Hostages."
But interestingly enough, there has been a developing trend of
professional athletes, body builders and even boxers coming forward
and promoting a meatless lifestyle.
Plants Scream - it's so mean to eat them. This is true - to an extent.
Plants only "scream" when you send very negative thoughts through
them. In this sense it's not too far from Dr.
Masaru Emoto's
research on angry energetics and the resulting distortions in the
formation of ice crystals.
One should not send angry energy into
anything they eat.
The plant will yield to consumption in the
presence of happy energy. For many species of tree and plant,
consumption is a vital modality for their propagation and the plants
"know" it.
I need meat - my body does not function correctly without it. This is
a valid and honest statement.
Some even have allergies to dairy,
peanuts and gluten. There will be those who do not transition easily
to a meatless diet. When someone embraces the vegetarian and
especially the vegan lifestyle they should be aware of possible
vitamin and amino acid deficiencies that might accompany the change.
Vitamin B12 is probably the most crucial vitamin that many non-meat
eaters (especially vegans) may find themselves deficient in.
Ironically, animals do not directly produce B12. It is produced from
bacteria in soil and fecal matter. They just ingest it while grazing
and that's how the meat eater gets their B12.
I don't recommend
eating a scoop of soil though. Sometimes a supplement is the way to
go.
Meat offers very dense and high nutritional content. But with the
good comes the bad. Meat is highly addictive and voraciously
coveted. Why? Meat also contains a whole lot of things not so good
for you.
That's a long list that others have done a very good job
summarizing if one chooses to go down Google highway.
But for my
concern, meat consumption seems to compromise spiritual growth and
psychic abilities. By eating meat one seems always one step away
from that first step toward enlightenment.
The meat eater's blood chemistry is necessarily different from the
vegetarian. There's a surplus of specialized enzymes that aid in
digestion depending if the diet is solely plant or meat based.
Since
most people consume both plant and meat there are abundant enzymes
to handle both challenges. These differences manifest outwardly in
the shape, size and what some would call the "scent" of the aura.
Yes, you are energetically influenced by what you eat and it
illuminates through your aural expression.
Scent of the Aura
As I alluded to earlier, there seems to be a different kind of
energy enveloping those who do not eat meat.
I see a different
radiance in their skin and gentleness in their energetic persona.
I'm not able to directly see auras but I can sense them. The
vegetarian frequently (but not always) has the kind of aura that
seems to fill a room. They are happy and radiant.
Animals seem
especially sensitive to this vibration and are frequently drawn to
the energy of the vegetarian and vegan.
Some say the "scent" of the vegan is sweeter, perhaps because there
are no byproducts of animal tissue metabolism emanating from their
pores. But this is not something I've personally experienced.
Maybe
it's true, maybe not...
Culture Trap
Most of my family and friends are not vegetarian and I don't fault
them for that.
I see how I am different from them and I don't always
resonate with the content of their conversations. Having an Italian
ancestry doesn't make it any easier - especially when it comes to
traditional family get-togethers. It's all about the food. So the
shy vegetarian retreats to a corner.
Try saying "no" to a proud and
robust Sicilian who shoves a freshly grilled Italian sausage with
peppers and onions directly in your face. And so I accept graciously
and when the coast is clear, discreetly place the sausage back on
the serving plate. The grease-soaked onions and peppers are a
terrible loss.
They stealth-fully find their way into a trash can. I
remember telling this particular relative I was vegetarian. But that
was long ago and my words had since been rejected and forgotten.
It's not the Italian way.
Perhaps by now we've all seen the
Carl's Jr. adverts where a
beautiful woman engages rather suggestively with a ridiculously
over-sized hamburger.
The aggressive, dense energy component
combining carnal sexuality with meat eating provokes a multitude of
appetites - none of which exist above the naval chakra.
Through the
eyes of a vegetarian, such displays are ghoulish, shocking and
certainly not funny nor sexy. It must sell hamburgers though.
It's
certainly selling something.
Final Thought
Eons ago, when animals and Humans were still connected,
a pact was
made that we would not eat them unless given no other choice. The
animals, who so loved the Divinely touched Human, agreed upon these
terms.
On one particular evening while in my place of solitude, I
had an unusual experience and a palpable vibration that led to this
expression:
"If you have no other choice then you must
eat us. But remember
we are sentient just as you
are. We love, feel and fear just as you do. Eat us if you
must - but only if you must.
We will know if your intent is sincere. And
so we will harmonize with your intention and not be toxic to
your fill."
When we feed upon the animal there's an aspect that feeds within us.
The (Archons) take delight in our aggressiveness, cluttered
consciousness and our clear disconnect with animals. They also seem
well aware of the long-term repercussions. Such hostile energies
serve as doorways and passages that lead into deeper and darker
places.
So we pontificate over the violent and egregious acts of war
as we cut the gizzard from a turkey and fling it in the trash.
In
the meantime our children are absorbed in a surreal world of death
culture, scandalous sex and mayhem onboard
their TV and
video games.
Since the oldest has been misbehaving you're looking forward to the
day he can enlist in the Army. That'll straighten him out. And the
beat goes on.
The pact with the animals was broken because we rather enjoyed the
exhilaration of falling into this lower energy state.
In the
frequency of this vibration, carnal delights are embraced while
higher order consciousness withers away in the muck. You're in a
hole you can't see out of - and so you don't even know you're in a
hole.
So here's the main point I'd like to make. We're not really
carnivore - or if you prefer, omnivore. For starters, a true omnivore
would not cook their meat. Rather strange when one thinks about it.
We're the only species that does.
Must have been something the
(Archons) tricked us into. And do you fancy the smell of blood? Not
likely - so that's not very omnivore of you. Finally, does the idea
of eviscerating a living and squealing pig appeal to you? For a
hungry wolf that is likely true.
But unless one is seriously
deranged, the Human would be horrified by such an act. And we
certainly don't have anywhere near the pH level in our stomachs that
the omnivore wolf has. It's necessary of course, to kill the various
parasites and toxic microbes embedded in the raw flesh.
In a sense,
they "cook" their meat in a highly acidic stomach.
I realize I wrote in
grandiose terms and engaged in some hyperbola.
I know this is a serious topic for many, but I wanted to have a
little fun with it too. I don't purport having all the answers. We
all make choices based on what we feel and think is right for us.
I've given some of my reasons.
I know those bastard
Archons
are real
and some of you rightfully might think I'm crazy. So be it.
My world
is about equity and energetics and so if I don't resonate with
something then I won't be a part of it - pure and simple. But that's
me!
Please know that it was not my intention to offend anyone. An
espousing vegetarian can be annoying if not downright condescending
at times. But I truly love people and I wanted to bring something to
your awareness that might have been buried or trapped within you.
In the corner of the room someone will invariably hunker down and
flash those puny little blunted "fangs" and say "see - I'm a meat
eater!" Sorry, you're not, at least not in the strictest sense.
He
is someone who "can" eat meat if he carefully chews and swallows.
But he is not ready to accept anything beyond his dense construct
and perception of normalcy. It is not my job to convince him or
anyone otherwise. My job is to speak from the heart and allow others
to draw their own conclusions and find their own path.
We all have
choices and it's a beautiful thing.
When you look in the eye of an animal, you just might see your own
reflection. We're not so far apart really. These beautiful entities
will respond to your words and touch and will not judge you nor pass
condemnation.
And though we hear from time to time how animals will
occasionally bond with another species, Humans can bond with
virtually any species - from hippos, rhinos and elephants to rabbits,
tigers and bears.
Not only are we capable of loving them - they love
us back.
Until next time.
