CORRECT EATING -- PART TWO

If you wish to raise the vibration of your body, you should eat only the finest foods, the foods of the highest vibration.

A Few Guidelines

So far we have not discussed the question of what you should, or should not, eat. Each of you will have to decide according to your own consciousness how you should change your eating habits. What would be right for one would be wrong for another, and in this article I can do no more than point out a few guidelines. If you wish to raise the vibration of your body, you should eat only the finest foods, the foods of the highest vibration, which are to be found mainly in the fruit kingdom -- the fruits, nuts and berries which exist in profusion upon your planet. Therefore it is desirable, and note that I say only desirable, that a spiritual person should become a strict vegetarian, that they should eat only the fruits of the Earth.

If you are fully aware of life around you, if you have evolved to the point of consciousness when you do not wish needlessly to destroy anything, you will want to eat only of the fruits of the land, for by doing so not only will you be destroying nothing but you will also be aiding in the dispersal of the seeds of the fruits around the land.

All Life Is Sacred

It is not necessary, or desirable, that you should destroy or in any way use the Animal Kingdom for food. That is not to say that you cannot do it, for you do today, but as you are the most evolved being on this Earth you should not have to ask the Animal Kingdom to make that sacrifice. Although the Animal Kingdom does make the sacrifice for you, for that is the nature of life on the Earth, you do not need to eat the flesh of animals. All life is sacred.

You cannot create life and therefore you should not take it. Life is not yours to give and take: it is your Creator´s. Everything on this Earth belongs not to you but to your Creator. You must learn to be responsible for the Animal Kingdom, and as animals are less evolved beings you should look on them with love. You should try to help them for, truly, they look to you for an example.

The Lowest of Vibrations

Animals feel pain just as Humanity does. They experience fear just as Humanity does, and the emotions of animals which are killed are held within their bodies. The vibration of fear is a coarsening vibration, and when you consume the flesh of animals you are partaking of that vibration. Furthermore, all the diseases of an animal and the polluted food it has consumed are contained within its flesh, hence when you eat of that flesh you are partaking of those diseases and of that pollution. So, from the food aspect, the flesh of animals is the lowest of vibrations, and if you are to walk the spiritual path you should avoid it at all costs for it will degrade your body spiritually.

You are, no doubt, aware of the nutritional values that allegedly come from eating meat, but all of them can be found in other foods if you will but look. Because when it first incarnated on Earth unevolved Humanity did not know any better there was some excuse for it killing animals for food, but today Humanity should be much more aware. You could find the correct foods to eat, and you could cultivate them if you so desired, but you do not, for much money has now been invested in the breeding and production of meat for the table.

Linked To The Creator

I ask all of you who do eat meat just to consider, just to realize, what it is that you are doing. You are eating the flesh of a living being. Maybe the animal is not so advanced as a human being, but it is still linked to your Creator for it has red blood flowing through it, and anything that has red blood flowing in its veins is with soul. Look upon animals as your less evolved brothers and sisters who need your help, your guidance, your example, your love. They do not need to be slaughtered by you. As you sit at your table think of what you are eating, think of the pain that the animal went through, and consider whether its slaughter was really necessary. Remember that you are taking on its karma, its fear and its animalistic instincts, and that you are absorbing its many impurities caused by the use of Humanity´s drugs and chemicals, which do so much harm to the physical body.

Humanity, of course, also eats the birds of the air and the fishes of the sea. Their point of evolution varies according to the individual species, but they all have red blood flowing through them. No matter what biologists may tell you, birds and fishes do feel pain to various degrees. I repeat, all life is sacred, and Humanity can and should live without the sacrifice of the birds or the fishes.

A Higher Vibration

You may say that it is not possible to live without eating flesh of some description. This is not true. Your "experts" today might convince you that this is the case, that Humanity has been a meat-eater since time immemorial, but that again is not true. There are many people today who are vegetarians, who live quite happily, quite healthily, who produce beautiful children and thus destroy this myth. Indeed, if you are vegetarians you should be healthier, you should have healthier children, you should be more aware, you should be of a higher vibration. You should be able to enjoy every aspect of life far more than your meat-eating friends around you.
