I've been a thinkin' again...

It's such a BIg question isn't it...?

This should l... should l not... eat mEaT 'thing'...?

To my mind though it's tricky because perhaps what it's really about is contemplating change...

...and looking at our ethics...

...our OWN internal ethics about the sAcReDness of Life...

...?


I've read so much, since my brush with serious illness... From how Native peoples honor the animals so much that sacred practice has animals coming from the bush voluntarily to sacrifice themselves... to my spiritual teacher advising me that we just 'think/believe' that we need meat... to 'facts' that the human body actually does not have a system set up to process it properly... from evidence that many of our modern diseases come from the consumption and lack of proper processing by our bodies of meat... to the fact that we just simply eat too much of it...

...and hey what about all those advertisements on the telly about how 'healthy' it is...
Hmmm is it rEaLLy about OUR health to these big businesses or money? I wonder...
The world seems to be 'run' by big business these days... but you know what folks... If it doesn't sell then they won't market it... 'They' always look at the bottom line and it is HERE that WE have all the power...

You and me...

... to create change...

One thing l am sure about though is the experience that MY body functions much better without meat and as l peek behind the 'pretty curtains' of big business advertisements, what l discover is that l don't approve of some of the modern day practices of meat production... I have come to understand that the current way that we treat the animals we produce to eat, is so poor, that should our young cattle be allowed to live to an old age, most of them would be riddled with cancer themselves... From the stress that they endure, to the food they are fed, full of additives that even contain their own species (!!!)... This can't be right... right? .

...and it can't really be healthy for our children either... Can it?

Having said that, three members of my immediate family still eat it, but so little now that they no longer request it... I hope to lead by example... I do not believe in force as everyone has the freewill... to choose...

...I do believe though... in education...

If you want to eat meat perhaps you should know about the practices of your local abattoir... ?

And our industries 'ethical practices' ...such as 'live meat export'... Some of the callous disregard for animals basic physical comfort in this regard is... well quite frankly... inhuman and insane! ...And to ignore the way OUR animals are treated 'at the other end' (in another country) is also wrong!...to me... It's not ethical... really it's not...

I think what is most sad though, is that our children have no sense of what meat 'actually' is anymore and cannot relate a burger to a cow... Indeed the modern child, adults included, have no real concept of any of the origins or the processes that of most of the 'boxes' on the supermarket shelves go through... I guess l just feel sad how we as a race have evolved into a 'care-less' society where everything is so packaged and sterile that we have lost 'contact' with our food...and in so doing, our bodies too... The very thing that gives us life... I would like to see more education of our children involving them learning about 'the seasonal growth' of food... I believe that perhaps if we ate more in-tune with our natural environment and natures natural seasons and educated our society about diagnosing just what is actually 'in' all the packaged 'stuff' on the supermarket shelves... Well l think that most people would THEN be able to make more healthy choices and would come to understand (as l have) that most of our current modern illnesses, including cancer, have a lot to do with the build up in our bodies of additives and preservatives... These chemicals build up within our bodies and 'clog' our cells natural 'cycle of life', affect our natural hormonal system and stop our natural basic cell function...

Cancer is actually THAT simple... Did you know that? A cancer cell is just a cell that has forgotten to be 'in tune' with it's natural cycle via a clogged up dis functioning lymphatic system ...and as a result it becomes 'sick' and causes itself to reproduce (usually at a rapid rate) into more unhealthy cells = tumour... Makes all the more sense that WE have the power to heal ourselves doesn't it... Because for me, along with many others, have discovered that the power to reclaiming our bodies and ridding ourselves of disease actually involves going 'back to basics' ...

...Have you ever wondered why with all the millions and millions of dollars that goes into cancer research every single year now, that not much has changed in the last twenty years about the 'treatment' of it?... Just where does all that money go? Hmmm... Research ,or more medicines for this side effect, to balance that side effect... of medications!
...Big business in medications it seems to me...

I wonder about the 'business' of medicines... I worry how headache tablets/medicines are 'normal'... I worry that our children are taught to take a pill and just keep on going... Not hey that pain is your body trying to tell you something... hmmmm...

I often wonder about those poor old 'witches' burned at the stake in those long ago dark ages and l wonder if they were just herbalists and natural therapists empowering people to take control of their own healing... ?

The basics of health is balance... ethical purchasing of organic food (or growing our own) and looking within for a belief system that honors our bodies and food...

...Have you ever noticed how food that is cooked with love and attention, actually tastes better? I have... I have also read a good book by Masaru Emoto, a creative and visionary Japanese researcher on "The Message from Water" that supports this idea... It's a good read about how our thoughts affect everything around us...

...And do you know how l discovered all this 'stuff' ?

...I was given a child by God with life threatening food allergies, to teach me about 'the traps of modern food' for so much of it she cannot eat ...the cancer l contracted was to teach me about the sacredness of my body and the early loss of my dad taught me the value life...

...All this to remind me to live a more authentic life truer to my inner whisperings...

Hmmm...

l've just been a thinkin' again today... l guess...

...and you?
