"As long as man continues to be the
ruthless destroyer of lower living beings, he will never know health or
peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other.
Indeed, he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap joy and
love."
- Pythagoras -
Animal and Human suffering, by Trigueirinho
“As long as we inflict suffering, we will have it in our own lives. The fact of humanity still murders animals brings us unimaginable consequences.
An animal, whose innate tendency is to have a human being – who, in the evolution chain, comes immediately higher than him – in the same way as we have our own “god”, is marked by a deep impact, of inconceivable repercussion by being murdered by him. At the moment of killing he notices that the external aspects of his being are going to be destroyed , he KNOWS what is going to happen and, for counting on an already sufficiently well developed emotional body, he suffers.
The question of pain and suffering will never be cleared out to us as long as this basic and preliminary topic gets, at least partly, as a seed, into our consciousness.
The number of human beings that, in our days, no longer are so attached to the use of meat in their diets is larger than we can imagine. However the “Higher Selves”, already ready for being vegetarians, frugivores or naturalists come often to environments still conditioned by primitive dietary habits and by deeply engraved superstitions concerning the right way to keep the body.
Therefore, it takes long before many recognize their own inner condition.
The intake of animal products, particularly of meat, creates inertia in the physical cells, impeding that their still veiled potential is freely expressed. It is a hefty obstacle to the evolutionary work that mankind is currently seeking to consciously carry out. Meat has a specific vibration, typical from a state already overcome by him: the instinctive stage; and when used in his diet, it keeps him in a position no longer compatible with the new steps he is about to take: mastery of intuition, exercise of superior telepathy and experience of the supra-mental consciousness; steps those that can be hindering and even postponed. As long as the old ways of contact between mankind and animals is not replaced, the instinctive vibration will remain flowing in the bodies of their personalities for much longer than it would have been necessary, occupying space and impeding that the light of intuition and other lights, of more advanced stages can be established in them.
A true and updated relationship must be develop between us and the animals, relationship whereby the last ones may be benefited from our services and with out gratitude for the role they have had in humanity's development."
