Re: Vegetable Farms vs. Slaughter Houses Bryan said 1 minute ago: MMmmmm. I am not so certain of the 'more or less karma idea.' I think the food chain validates the necessity of ending a life for sustenance. Bacteria are single cell plants, which colonize and do great harm, and in some instances would infect and end a human life without medical or herbal intervention. What karma do bacteria inherit as a result?

Yes, synchronicity is the universe's way of giving the conscious mind 
a chance to cash-in on a wish coming true through earthly coincidence!

Historically vaccines were created to control epidemics, and they worked! So, now infant-todler immunization is legally mandatory!

But still, it isn't cool that the government can take our civil liberties and define them for us, i.e. we do not have the right to choose...

This has happened before, and it happens now, except there is something different coming from the syringe.

Can you imagine that 'parents of days passed' protested when the government made standard childhood vaccinations mandatory?

Wouldn't you be appalled, if some mother sends her child to your community school infected with measles, mumps or rubella, because she refused to follow that mandate for reasons of right to choose?

Would it be fair, if the government forced women to breast feed their infants, so that immunity is passively acquired?

These are our realistic options. If we face these issues  head on as informed constituents, then we are in a better position to co-create options, which affect our laws and shape medical protocol. We do not create options by reacting to policies, but we co-create options through proactive interaction with policy makers.

How do we find creative ways to encourage the industries to seek alternatives, when the bottom line drives a lot of agendas?
 
How can we be empowered to shift this emphasis from making a profit, when the 'public; has not been the best 'advocate' for 'public health and safety?'

The question is, "How do we become our own best advocates?"

Any suggestions....? Anyone....??

This is coming from a pharmacist who wants to see:
 
"The public be a better advocate for public health and well-being, instead allowing a bunch of elected officials be advocates for us, when they don't 'know' of any alternatives other than mandatory vaccines..."

Well, that can be said also for what you love doing. For example, "I love fishing, but I hate the smell," or "I love photography, but I hate researching for great landscapes..."

Don't you think that creativity and innovation can resolve that being 'a given?'

I find that people who do not like a job or part of a job, which is over all gratifying, is that creativity needs to be applied in order to make meaningful connections with that work, not as a ploy or psychological defense mechanism, but as an opportunity to appreciate a process through creativity.

What do you think?

Well, yes, that is true; animals are killed unkindly. Even lions suffocate their prey, while some animals eat their prey alive. Is it in appropriate for animals to eat animals and do we question their methods? No, because what they do is based on earth instinct, which is nature.

Whether we like the idea or not, we are all a part of the animal kingdom and the food chain, for that matter. If you are not sure whether or not you are a part of the food chain, take a hike in the mountains and meet a cougar on the way! Then you will be reminded in a most cruel, but natural way! And vegetable farmers kill animals that try to inhabit  agricultural territories, which orginally belonged to them

What of cruelty to plants? They are destroyed and exploited for their resources, and we also diminish the rain forrest daily -- a region that has become a burial ground for the native trees and plants. Notice, when trees and plants die, so do animals, and when certain animals die, so do plants, which nurture them. 

Consequently, it is true that when we humans selfishly exploit plants, animals die a slow and miserable death -- by starvation, a fate worse than death in any slaughter house!

 We exploit the land and run out the animals in order to farm fruits and vegetables, always infringing on their rural territories -- yes, vegetable farms do that too!

Do you see all evils being commited through the consumption of both plants and animals? 
And by the way, trees in Munchkin land, Oz are not the only trees that yell ouch, when we pluck off their fruit -- an adequate metaphor to further assess the question I ask,

Which dietary philosophy is more virtuous, or shall I say commits the lesser evil?

Yeah, it is a little daunting getting up the nerve to approach dreams with high stakes -- but we always hope that our dreams contribute meaningfully to the world. All dreams should manifest, if truly related to higher purpose.
 
I am being careful to ask for what I feel comfortable manifesting right now, which is the principle behind law of attraction....I can see what I ultimately want to accomplish.
 
However, what if I am hesistant on asking for the resources to make that happen, especially when this means asking others for help?
 
Maybe, then I should spend some time trying to figure out my apprehension and then spend some time assessing whether the fear outweighs the importance of playing a role that benefit others.
 
Perhaps through that perspective I can integrate my fear of failure and/or fear of success.

Do you think that following your higher-purpose is the same as you following what is instinctive to  your core nature and doing what you really love?

I have found through intuition that people actually love doing what is harmoniously in alignment with their higher-purpose. The earth experience seems to be the zig zag route we take in finding that out, over and over again on different levels.

Like Dorothy in Wizard of Oz? That yellow brick road, which took her back to the place she was trying to escape (home)? The road to Oz/home was perilous too (Lions, Tigers, Bears), but suddenly what she desired made it justifiable, even though the path was not always fun.

Is there a difference between doing what you really love and folliwng your highest purpose?Is this the main point in self-discovery as our earth experience? To find out that this is the same?

I am an animal AND plant communicator, as we all are, but may not necessarily tune into the communicative energy of all earth inhabitants. When I prune a plant, I wait for the stem to be truly ready to be removed, or I use a sharp, quick slice to remove a stem or leaf from the plant with as little discomfort as possible.

My point is that plants hurt when they are plucked from the ground or consumed alive by humans or animals, including a slow death when being cooked by heat.

On Wild Kingdom, I tune in, when a hawk swoops up a hare - again there is panic and pain, not the slow agonizing, inhumane conditions found in slaughter houses - a quick and more merciful death.

It is not fun being a house fly full of life struggling in a spider's web either.

Would someone comment please, because I struggle to understand the entire karmic balance on earth regarding life, death, and predation on all levels. Are these points relevant?

(inspired by a conversation in spiritual life pod)

When I perform a psychic reading for another, I am tuning into the client's god/goddess energy. The god/goddess energy, the divine self, or the higher-self has a faster vibrational, which is used to mediate between the client's perspective and present experiences.

To begin with, I check in with client's higher-self to get some pure impressions free from the client's mental filters. Next I look for a point in time where the client experienced harmony between an experience and perspective. These points of reference are like restore points on a computer hard drive. Restore points on a hard drive are helpful, when the computer crashes, because a restore point reverts all settings back to a point in time where there was harmony between its the computer's processor and the computer's hard drive.

So here is the process:
I look into the client's general perspective on life. More than just predicting the future, I begin correlating the impressions I receive to experiences along with unsettled issues.  Before resolution happens, I use the reading  to suggest a more-open perspective, explaining how these experiences were misunderstood.  This is resolution, which is harmony between the experience and the perspective. Finally, integration occurs, and then I get permission to use this moment of clarity to create another restore point within the client's mental hard drive, which is handy whenever there is another life crash or life crisis.

In closing: Although psychic readings often come with past and future information, the main purpose is to create harmony between one's experiences and perspective, in order to facilitate resolution, integration, and a moment of clarity as a point of reference or restore point:)!

Yes, this is what I expected. In a particular project I wanted to use mind energy with a plasma generator to make a nano-crystaline structure with a particular nuclear chemical isomeric configuration.

Are you interested in approaching research from cellular consciousness level? Are you interested in communicating or exchanging information on that level? There is a way to learn from cellular consciousness on the stem cell level in order to relearn patterns of development for healing purposes and education.

Intent is important. Academic knowledge is important too. Science is nature, which is how consciousness and natural laws evolved together. There is a matrix created maintaining the rapport between each. For metaphysical healing or a quantum leap in physical evolution, the contract must be modified with a new agreement that is satisfactory with collective consciousness, or it will not manifest physically at this time.

Einstein new about this. He understood much more than he told. He was smart to connect energy with matter and to suggest fourth dimensional logic. He understood that if we understood through the conservation of matter and energy as a continuum, then quantum physics would be more meaningful on an integral level, even if we cannot account for specific quantities in transition.

Quantum mechanics happens in normal physiologic development and function. This is an agreement between wave and mass particle (through coupled resonance) on the subtle level. There is an etheric interphase called the invisible body -- each level having a logic or intelligence of its own. To honor this rapport is to attune to divinity, a micro-aspect of universal harmony.

I cannot wait to talk more. Maybe we can set up a pod for this. Bring in some scientists, MD's, researchers --- Integral Research....or something like that.

Admiration,

Bryan
