ARE ANIMALS OUR FRIENDS OR SLAVES? - PART ONE

Some people might wonder if this topic has anything to do with Spirituality, assisting us along the pathway to enlightenment.... I would have to answer most certainly YES. Without the understanding and respect for our lesser evolved "brethren" we are stuck, and further advancement for spiritual growth comes to a standstill.

The Four Kingdoms

There are four kingdoms evolving here on Earth and Humanity is, of course, on a higher vibration than the other three. As we are "top of the scale" these other three kingdoms - the Animal, the Vegetable and the Mineral Kingdoms - look to humanity for its example, and then try to follow it. This puts humanity in the position of bearing great responsibility, of which the majority of people are totally unaware.

All four kingdons are supposed to live in harmony and balance together, but looking at the situation on planet Earth today, this certainly does not appear to be the case. Each kingdom has its own particular vibration and this is symbolised by the four "equal arms" of the true cross (not to be confused with the crucifix displayed in Christianity).

Group Souls

Although the first two kingdoms can sense, react and are affected by the thoughts, feelings and behaviour patterns of humans, they do not possess souls - at least during this stage of their evolution. With the Animal Kingdom it is different. Animals belong to "group souls". There is one "group soul" for all the cats, and one "group soul" for all the dogs and so on, and so on.

Humans, on the other hand, have individual souls which are individual aspects of the Solar Logos. We are blessed with the divine spark, a portion of our God, and one day we will return that spark (our spirit) to God (the Great Spirit). Animals, during their evolution, return after death to their respective Group Soul. But I think it is worth noting here that animals eventually, having evolved to a higher vibration, are given the gift of individual souls and then may progress on their evolutionary path as human beings. Yes, something to think about!

Aeons Ago

There was a time, and there is reference to this period in the bible and holy scriptures, that Humanity lived in absolute perfection and so did the Animal Kingdom. Everything was peace, love and harmony. The animals did not fight or attack and prey upon each other because they were all vegetarians. They actually lived off the fruits, herbs and vegetation of the land. In fact they were responsible for carrying and planting the seed of vegetation around the Earth which actually made them "farmers" for the sustenance of mankind.

Living in this environment people did not own or control the animals. Animals were recognized and accepted as sparks of creation that simply were not so evolved as ourselves. And in no way would we consider misleading or degrading, let alone harming, our less evolved fellow creatures. During this period we were aware of our responsibility, and at the same time we did not need to kill any animal species for food. We humans were a "fruitarian" species living entirely on the fruits of the Earth.

Times Of Change

The environment of the Animal Kingdom has indeed changed dramatically, and unfortunately this is entirely the responsibility of Humanity. For both by our example and actions we have brought down the downfall of the Animal Kingdom. One must remember that the lower kingdoms always look to the higher kingdoms to learn and follow in their "footsteps". Now that certainly says a lot about us doesn´t it?

Earth´s Animal Kingdom is actually here to be of service to Mankind, but it would seem that we have forced them into a form of slavery to satisfy our every whim. Although it was necessary for the primitive caveman to expect animals to sacrifice themselves for human survival, this is definately not the case today. Especially as man has evolved in consciousness and lives on such a high level of civilization. That animals are still killing each other is also further proof that it is a reflection of humanity´s own behaviour down through the ages. One only has to look at how we continue killing our fellow humans.
