Thanks for the reply....it seems to me that the long term consumption of animals requires a level of mindlessness. A mind switched on to the sentience of animals suffers in the knowledge that in consuming meat they are responsible for animal cruelty and murder hence the need to switch off the mind. This mass self hypnosis required by carnism is a major factor in the greater general apathy that seems to pervade. An apathy that allows the creation of many of the worlds ills IMO.
I agree completely. People have gone to extremes in renaming animal parts to remove connection with the source. That way, children are easier to be indoctrinated as meat consumers and the names allow everone to forget the source. Consuming meat is a disgusting and uncivilized habit that is also a massive misallocation of resources.
Absolutely. If the connection between humans and animals can be revived it would change the world for the better. It would ignite the spirit flame in many, helping us to choose the right path for all animals including humans. You raise a good point with resources. This of course feeds into the overpopulation agenda.
Thank you for the "ignite the spirit flame", Ian. You are correct that we have lost that connection with Mother Earth's other inhabitants. It also reminded me of a photo I have in my archives...I'll pull it out and post it. It was one of those true 'connecting' moments for me.
It's strange that you have to become enlightened before you can understand that you were not before that moment.
Looking back it seems to me that the education (indoctrination) system is designed to un-enlighten us. It de-humanises us, homogenises us. It prepares us for a world run by dark forces which most will never understand for they have been trained to keep themselves distracted from the truth by using all of the tools which they were trained to spend their time accumulating. The world is a simple place when one has regained one's vision and discovered the box of shades in the garage like Roddy Piper in the film (They Live). Part of my mission is to hand out the shades and draw attention to the masquerade that is happening all around us. Thank you for your work. And thanks for having the strength to be you.
and to you, my new friend. Two members of The Human League.
