what to eat??
Upon my daily investigation on social media this morning I stumbled upon a post of a beautiful pig, on her way to the slaughter house. She was shaking, she was bruised, she had visible cuts and was bleeding from wounds inflicted upon her from a human cramming her into cages and most likely the vehicle chaffering her, to her death bed. This creature was in distress, she was shaking uncontrollably and as I caught a glance of her eyes, I saw the unmistakable fear. My heart just breaks to think this animals life has been boiled down to human sacrifice, to FOOD ! Her existence is just as valuable as my two dogs, who I care for, who I love immensely.
So this brings me to this post, to an offering of thought, of love, sharing with all of you, my humble opinion. People, we do not NEED to consume flesh! We do not need this for our human vessels to carry us through this life, this is a fact. We do not live in the ice ages anymore, where we were unable to grow the produce and grain for sustenance. Our mother wants to birth us fresh vegetation, plants to enlighten our conciseness, raising our vibration. We can in fact make a choice, one that drastically affects the animals we have tormented and abused, this magnificent mother earth we have raped and pillaged, and truthfully your own digestion system resulting in longer, healthier states of existence.
I want to start out by making something so very clear, I do not actually care what you choose to eat. I focus my attention on what I consume and why I make the choices I do and how I can love my body and contribute to the collective well being. I research, read, speak to other humans beings, and educate myself on the benefits of eating a plant based diet and I go from there. My path is my own, all I'm offering to each of you, is to consider what your options are, forming your own opinions. There are a magnitude of issues that arise when you discuss eating meat, poultry and fish; issues such as animal cruelty, vibrational frequency, greenhouse gases, ingestion of hormones and antibiotics, effects on your digestive system, increased chances of colon cancer, producing carcinogenic compounds when cooked, the effects on our marine habitat and long term impact of ecological disruption and global warming. I'm not blogging here to inform you of the side effects, this is information you should be gathering for yourself and humanity. What I am doing is raising the issue at hand, asking all of you to further investigate and to talk about this, to think about it. I want to be clear that I wasn't born a vegetarian and certainly not a vegan. I have a very hard time with labels "I AM VEGAN", is a massive life choice, one altering your day to day drastically. I do not claim to be anything other than a conscious human who wants the best for herself, for the all humanity, the occupants coexisiting with us, and for Gaia, the divine mother earth herself.
There is no right or wrong here dear ones, there are only choices, choices that are all up to you, moment to moment. This isn't a judgement once again, but maybe you can choose to eat less meat, less animals, and go from there. We are so intelligent, we can not avoid our intrinsic evolutionary process. I made an informed decision based on tons of research, to stop eating flesh first and explored vegetarianism for a long while before transitioning into cutting out dairy, eggs and animal by products. As we come to learn more, to understand, we continue on our magical paths, lights turn on and we illuminate organically. This is magic, you are magic, we are all magic. You are perfect, you are exactly where you are meant to be and as Ram Dass loves to remind us, we are all just walking each other home.
