Setting positive intentions, thinking positive thoughts, sending positive vibes towards others or situations I am convinced it works and for the good.
"Energy flows where intention goes".
If we all would be aware of this consciousness would grow, humans would be able to live in peace with one another.
"Humanity will have to change it's consciousness rapidly to avoid self destruction", as Eckhart Tolle says.
To me there is a very practical site to this need to come to awareness. This about the example I want to discuss: the meat industry.
I believe, positive thoughts will not be strong enough to dissolve our destructive behavior. Or more precise, too little people are aware of sending positive thoughts towards the issue -the meat industry- to dissolve it.
Part of this awareness is that we have to come to the insight and the realisation that we should stop eating meat in the amounts we do.
The way we treat our fellow beings, the cows, the sheep, the chicken, the pork, the goat and more is a very destructive and very cruel way.
Fear, anxiety, stress and pain is the life that we give most of animals we keep for meat. The horrendous circumstances of transporting them and to then kill them.
In my view eating meat in the quantities a lot of humans do, brings in them -enheavyment-, the opposite of enlightenment. This by the fact that we don't have the digestion system of carnivors and by eating fear and pain (and medication) of fellow beings. It is also believed and what I adhere that eating lots of meats is a cause of depression (heavyness) and aggression.
The only way to establish the situation where in people eat less meat at this stage now is to by law restrict them the amount of meat they can buy, in a x amount time.
But I believe this will not ever be the case. There is so much human 'volontaire' slavery involved in the meat industry that I find it hard to believe it will change in time.
The long list of people who's job is/earning their money, working in the meat industry is a long chain.
- People keeping the animals.
- People working in the fencing industry and in the construction of stables.
- People in production of corn, other animal food and straw.
- People that work in the industry that produce fertilizers.
- People working in the industry of trucks for transportation: trucks for the corn, the animals and the cooler trucks for the meat..
- People driving the trucks.
- People in the pharma industry working on (')medicine(').
- People working on the design of the packaging of the medication.
- People working in the package industry for the meat.
- People working on the design of the packaging of the meat.
- The veterinarians.
- The slaughter houses.
- The butchers.
- People working in the industry of equipment for the slaughter houses
- People working in industry of fridges.
- People that administer all this.
And than this is 'only' meat..
Krishnamurti said when he finally after 30 years came out with 'his secret': "I just don't care what happens".
I am still too concerned to not be able to don't-care-what-happens. Talking of enlightenment and consiouseness it might be that it is me being too ego concerned that still not wants to DIE..
I would love to know how other Evolvers cope with an issue like this.
Namaste
