What is the Cosmic perspective?
Whenever we are caught in an “either/or” question, we are caught in the ego’s logic of thinking in terms of opposites. Opposition creates resistance. Resistance is not something inherent to Nature, as it is often falsely assumed. Resistance indicates that we have not allowed for transformation.
The Sage has taken the question, whether we need to “become vegan,” or not, to teach us a general lesson. It is about falsely turning the Cosmic Principles of Harmony and the Principles of Harmony of Nature into a “moral order.”
Yes, it is true that many animals are being treated incorrectly – exploited – for the purpose of human consumption. There is no question that this practice violates the harmony of the Cosmic Way.
In order to allow the situation to be corrected, we need to include an aspect of the Cosmic Way called “Fate.” Fate is part of the Cosmic Principles of Harmony and also part of the Principles of Harmony of Nature. A fate is created whenever we humans violate a Cosmic Principle of Harmony. In this case, it is the “Principle of the Equality, Uniqueness, and Dignity of every aspect of the Cosmos.” All fates have a corrective function. Their ultimate purpose is to return the situation into harmony. A fate has the trajectory of a boomerang: it returns to its originator to break the spell (a mistaken idea or belief) that has caused the violation. In the case of our example, it is the mistaken ideas that ‘animals are lower than humans,’ and that ‘they are only there for our benefit.’
What happens on the energy plane when we, as individuals, oppose those mistaken ideas? We actually strengthen them. This is a law of physics. Obviously, it is also not an option to accept them. In the first case, we are stepping in the path of the correcting fate, thereby preventing it from reaching its goal. In the second case, we create a fate for ourselves by accepting the mistaken ideas. The solution lies in widening our understanding in order to get outside of the “either/or” alternatives: This happens when we include a function in our mind called the “adaptation function.” This function possesses the ability to create new Helpers in the form of bacteria that help us through the time it takes for the corrective fate to have its harmonizing effect. What is required of us for this to happen is that we say an inner “No, No, No,” to the mistaken ideas mentioned above, and to the practices they have created, and that we then ask the Cosmic Army ‘to do what is needed to correct the situation.’ We then let go of the issue altogether. Doing so enables our adaptation function to temporarily integrate any negative effects from eating animal products that were produced incorrectly. This happens thanks to the newly created bacteria. Then, our rational mind is no longer neither on a “war path,” nor on the path of “going with the flow.”
When we have corrected our understanding of the situation, as described above, it is up to us to consume animal products, or choose not to. There is no “right” or “wrong.”
