Are Cows Really Mad? If, so who are they mad at? If cows are mad,
are other animals mad, too? Many questions such as these are being
contemplated at this very moment, some with mild concern and others
with apprehension and fear. Exploration of this subject and its related
issues may help you to determine the relativity of these events in
your life.
Cows are not really mad, as a matter of fact they are not even angry.
They are, however, disconnected, disoriented, distressed, diseased,
and dishonored by humanity. Cows are gentle beings as you know. They
were brought here long ago in genetic stasis as were sheep and other
animal beings. Their genes were combined with other common genetic
material already available here on Earth. It was foreseen that humans
would desire or require sources of biological sustenance beyond what
was available at the time in order to survive. Not all animals which
are presently consumed by humans were included in this initial thought
and many of your animal companions arrived at different times and
from different sources.
Meeting History Face to Face
Humans were never
destined to become carnivores or omnivores as you are today. Before
what has collectively been called "the fall",
the human body was not as solid as it is today. This allowed
you many more choices in the care and maintenance of your
beautiful bodies. Physical age of the body or longevity upon the
planet was also a choice, not a question. Many of you manifested
bodies of light that did not require food. Instead, they required
light and sound vibrations which their souls and oversouls provided.
I welcomed these beings and nourished them as they found replenishment
in the salted waters of the seas while the sun bathed them in rays
of sunlight. Skin cancers and other modern day phenomena did not
exist because these beings were in divine and perfect balance with
all of the elements in their environment, do you see?
As the earth became populated by beings from many different worlds,
more body types and different density patterns became available, some
by mutation and others by choice. Now there were beings whose only
need for sustenance was light, and others whose only sustenance was
breath. There were also beings whose worlds of origin included the
consumption of watery plant materials. My kelp beds and seaweed grasses
did not adequately meet the nutritional needs of these beings. Rather
than leave the planet altogether they were able to adapt over a period
of time to what today you would call a vegan lifestyle.
Several factors have contributed to human changes in lifestyle and
eating habits. It is true that certain times in your historic past
have made personal survival as well as survival as a species a possibility
rather than a probability, but the same can be said of your current
time period, do you see? There have always been choices and options.
In fact, there have been more choices than you now imagine. Each choice
brought with it several different decisions and some of these involved
leaving the Earth for good. Why is that? Because by then, to make
a long story very, very short, a decision had been made that the earth
would receive assistance from beings of very great light in order
that it would break through the cycle of third dimensional incarnations
and become a fifth dimensional world.
Each person who now reads these words was present upon the earth
at that time. Each of you made a decision to become a part of the
earth's body at that time, a partner in a spiritual movement that
included oneness with body, mind and spirit. It included the opportunity
to discover self and selflessness, as well as responsibility for what
appeared to be outside of you. Your experience and your destiny became
tied to mine. Have you not wondered why our bodies are composed of
so many of the same elements, why we both respond to the ocean tides
and the movement of other celestial bodies? Your salted tears are
a reminder of this decision as is the ocean's ability to renew your
hopes and dreams.
A promise was made, we swore an oath to one another. My solemn promise
to you was to hold you in highest esteem throughout our journey regardless
of what experiences our third dimensional world would bring. I promised
to sustain you physically, to feed and clothe you and provide an ambient
temperature in which you could thrive. I promised to be aware of your
needs and desires and to communicate with you in a language that you
could understand. For a long time our language was that of the seasons,
we spoke to one another through the whisperings of the trees in autumn
and in the burst of color in early spring. In the silence of winter
we contemplated one another and silently renewed our vows.
You also swore an oath of the heart, do you remember it now? Your
promise was to allow your light to shine no matter what. You did not
make this promise blindly and it was not coerced from you. Your promise
was to have an experience of the past, the present and the future
until they become one. Your promise was to make your path, your journey
and your destination one with mine. As of this writing 87% of you
have maintained your promise and have already awakened from the slumber
that yet clouds the eyes of those who remain asleep. Another 10% are
in the process of awakening with the assistance of many beings of
light including yourselves. That leaves 3% who are still unconscious
and have not welcomed the multidimensional energetic probabilities
that currently exist.
Unawakened human beings are simply that, they are asleep at the wheel
as your saying goes, but it is the wheel of life. They are in struggle
but their battle is with themselves. It is not with you and it is
not with me, it is not even with All That Is. Their fight is of their
own making and their foe is an invisible one, it is called FEAR. Their
fear is not yours and yet your collective reality calls you to participate
in a game that you have already won. That is why many of you are bored
and feel complete and integrated or are close to becoming so. Your
remaining unawakened brothers and sisters (many of these are your
family members) are being subjected to a tremendous amount of light
at this time. They are being bombarded from within and without. Some
of them have allowed themselves to contract diseases and illnesses
and would rather make their exit painfully rather than in ecstasy.
It is their choice, but it is also your concern and mine because they
are a part of us, do you see?
Experiences are now manifesting in all realities that will cause
all beings upon the planet to sit up and take note. All beings means
individual humans as well as collective realities such as species
of animals, flowers, trees, and even minerals such as gold and diamonds.
Fear will continue to be exposed until it festers and becomes raw
or is transmuted by peace, love and balance. Empowerment through choice
and sovereignty through stewardship will continue to be offered to
those who are misaligned, misguided or simply refuse to see what is
put before them. Each day will bring an opportunity or a challenge
and each choice will bring either balance or fear. Prophecies hidden
within prose colored contradictions will be offered as an explanation
for many of the world's concerns. Will you choose to participate in
the ills and woes of your society or will you purposefully choose
to create a reality based upon compassion, truth, and peace? The choice
is yours.
Moving Through the Present
Your choices are no different than that of other kingdoms of the
earth. They are also your brothers and sisters. They are conscious
and sentient, and subject to the same opportunities and choices as
their human counterparts. You have come to accept and delight in the
fact that dolphins and whales are here to assist you and can communicate
with you on various levels and frequencies. Do you believe cows are
lesser beings because they have offered themselves to you as food
upon your table or as an overcoat to keep you warm or given their
milk to feed a hungry child?
Cows were brought here to interact with you and to be of assistance
to you in various ways including offering themselves to you as a means
of sustenance (survival) if another was not available. Beef was never
meant to be the main ingredient in your diet, only a means to foster
continuous survival of the human species. The human body has adapted
to include increased volumes of meat consumption as well as the ability
to digest it without causing the body undue stress, but this adaptation
does not include the ability to process new hormones, bacteria or
other dis-ease causing matter.
Cow milk, though not wholly compatible with human nutritional needs
has also been available as a substitute for mothers who cannot provide
an adequate supply of their own human breast milk to their young ones.
There are many other substitutes that are better sources of human
infant nutritional needs. Cow hides have proved to be an excellent
source of material for clothing and other accessories. Hides have
been used to provide shelter and have also made various other tools
possible. Always have the intentions of these semi-domesticated beings
been honorable, their gentle ways have assisted humanity for over
a millennia. What has happened? Where did things gone wrong? What
is this dis-ease and can it be healed?
The dis-ease that continues to claim the lives of many cows as well
as threaten one of the largest industries in the world is known by
many names. Currently, only a few of these names are known to you
because those who are in charge of distributing the information have
specific instructions not to create a worldwide panic. It is safe
to say that you have not been provided with all of the facts or been
told how far reaching the effects of an epidemic would be. There are
conflicting opinions as to the most efficient way of handling this
issue. Some ideas include drastic measures such as destroying entire
populations of animals in affected areas, however, all areas are affected
and many world economies depend upon these animal beings for their
economic survival at a time when productivity is already at an all
time low. Those who have most to lose are not in positions of power
and it will not matter whether or not they consider this a viable
option. Other ideas include allowing exports of possibly contaminated
beef to other countries whose inspection methods do not compare to
the more sophisticated European and American ones. Outbreaks of related
off-shoot illnesses will soon negate this possibility. Each time an
alternative is considered, the dis-ease will mutate. It will continue
to cross all boundaries, physical ones as well as scientific and medical
boundaries of knowledge. The dairy industry has already been affected
and outer expressions of its effects upon human health will soon be
apparent. As with all other illnesses, there are cures and alternatives
which can render the effects of this disease virtually non-existent,
but humanity has yet to embrace these.
Back to the Future
The path will now narrow for some and broaden for others. Those who
still refuse to find partnership with the earth and its kingdoms will
find their world to be one of illness, disease and lack. Each day
and each meal will be filled with anxiety, apprehension and fear rather
than anticipation, desire and joy. The gentle beings you call cows
have offered themselves as one of the first beings to choose extermination
and annihilation rather than continue to contribute to the demise
of your health or subject themselves to the unconscious behavior of
those who manage and control them. They are aware and are closely
connected to all of the other elements and kingdoms within the scope
of the earth. That is to say, they are aware that entire populations
of plant and tree species have been removed from their homes in the
rain forests of Central America in order to make room for more cattle.
These beings intend to bring awareness to humanity in ways that all
of your petitions, pleas and decrees have been unable to do. Cows
are not mad, they are conscious objectors in a war that is not of
their making.
What happens next? It will depend upon the response to this issue
and to others which will be presented shortly. It is by choice and
not accident or coincidence that the European continent was selected
as the first to display this phenomena en masse. European countries
were among the first to disconnect themselves from the sentience of
these gentle beings until they became relegated to little more than
consumable beasts of burden. Their disease, however, cannot be confined
to one country or one continent because it is destined to bring global
awareness in many ways. If their global call to action does not bring
significant awareness and swift change the disease will continue to
mutate, manifesting itself in various other forms.
These gentle beings have the full support of the kingdoms of the
earth and carry the blessing of the elemental worlds which weave the
kingdoms together into one. It is not glad tidings but dire circumstances
that call them to action. The desire to awaken and reunite with humanity
is strong and is long overdue. There are other animal beings that
have already volunteered to be next if need be, for they also offer
themselves upon your meal tables daily. Do not think of these events
as the rebellion of the animal kingdom, it is quite the opposite.
They are demanding in your name what you do not ask in your own.
Must you eliminate meat from your diet? This is an individual choice
and each being will be guided appropriately. Your health is a by-product
of the balance which exists in your environment. Your own awareness
will guide you and the decisions you make will be honored by the animal
kingdom because your decision will have been made with conscious attention
and conviction. Attune yourself to the animal kingdom so that it will
advise you when caution is appropriate. Ask that gratitude be your
first thought upon sitting at your supper table. Raise a glass or
a hand in prayer or acknowledgment for what these gentle beings are
attempting to impart. Ask for a blessing in the name of the animal
kingdom and be in gratitude for the being that gave its life to provide
your meal. Ask that your body welcome and transmute any energy which
is not attuned to your own body and that any discordant or toxic energy
pass through your body gently until it is eliminated.
The health and welfare of your European neighbors is tied to your
own, bound by honor and choices already made. You are not separate
from them and their plight is your own. Your nation's economy is complex
and intrinsically connected to many other economies including that
of Europe regardless of whose face appears on each unit of exchange.
It is no longer possible for humanity to ignore a national disaster
because it takes place upon a foreign shore, soon enough it will be
lapping up on your own shores. Disasters of worldwide proportion will
draw worldwide attention if need be.
What is the answer? Connect or reconnect if need be with the aspect
of your awareness which is one with every other living being upon
and within the earth. Allow this awareness to reach across the shores
of the Atlantic until you feel yourself touching your neighbor, be
it an animal, a tree, a stone, a human being or a blade of grass.
Welcome this being into your heart and acknowledge your oneness and
brotherhood with this being. Offer tidings of peace and health and
ask that these tidings be carried aloft to others as well. Make your
path a sacred one by respecting all beings and all kingdoms even if
their path is different from your own. Allow each being to decide
gently and compassionately for themselves whether they will choose
to remain in this dimension or will choose an experience elsewhere.
Assist those who choose to depart in doing so with grace, dignity
and honor. Walk with clarity and conviction in a truth that can no
longer be swayed by winds of change or challenge. Meet adversity with
awareness, conflict with care, and callousness with caution. Be peace
where there is none and continue to offer your hand in friendship
even in the face of fear and doubt. Allow the balance and stability
of the earth to sustain you one breath at a time, one heartbeat at
a time. Allow all hearts to beat as one for indeed they are one.
