In the last year or so, I’ve been working, via internet, with a number of people all around the world, that have asked me to help them in various ways and a number of them have spoken to me about being vegetarian because I’ve been a vegetarian for about 40 years or more and they asked me why and suggested that I make a lesson about vegetarianism.
I’m a train medium and one day, a long time ago, I was sitting, meditating and one of my guides, a gentleman, whose name is Father Ignatius, he was a Benedictine monk when he was incarnated on Earth and I was chatting with him about various things and he suddenly said to me, had I ever considered being a vegetarian and at that time, I wasn’t.
I asked him why and he said, let me tell you a story.
He said, imagine that you go to your local market and you’re hungry and you see coming towards you, someone pushing a wheelbarrow.
In the wheelbarrow, he’s got a pile of Earth and he’s got a little apple tree planted in the wheelbarrow, with lots of apples growing on it and attached to the wheelbarrow, he’s got a lamb and he’s got a knife in his hand.
He comes up to me and he says, hello, are you hungry?
I say yes and he hands me the knife and says, if you’re hungry, either cut off an apple from the tree or cut off a lump of this lamb and eat it.
Obviously, I’m not going to cut a lump off of a live lamb so I said to him, well, I’d cut an apple off the tree.
He said, in that case, already, in your heart, you’re vegetarian, you should consider becoming vegetarian in real life.
So, I talked it over with my family and we all saw the wisdom of this little story and we’ve all been vegetarians ever since.
Now, I’ve got a rather long list of why meat is not very good for people.
Meat contains toxins that poison the body, that’s uric acid and stuff, that actually can give you cancer so it’s not a good thing to get in your body and also, we have a long digestive tract so that meat begins to decay rather rapidly and turns nasty before we can evacuate it.
Also, you probably know, that animals these days are injected with growth hormones and antibiotics and so on to keep them healthy and when we eat meat, then we’re ingesting all that poison.
Meat also replaces other foods that could do us more good.
There’s another thing, if you can understand, that an animal that’s carted off to the abattoir, often transported long, long distances in the backs of these lorries, without anything to eat or drink and then they’re put into an abattoir and then they’re slaughtered in appalling conditions.
That animal dies in abject fear and that fear clings to the meat and so when we eat meat, we’re also ingesting some of that fear and horror and all the rest of it which is something else that we’d be better off without.
Also, animals have their own auras around them, just as we have auras and it’s not a good idea to try and mix the aura of humans with animals because they have different emotions to us and so there’s a clash that sets up in our body which is not a good idea as well.
So, for people that are on the spiritual path, we need to try and make ourselves as peaceful as possible and although vegetables, obviously, are alive, the amount of pain and fear and all the rest of it is much, much less compared to any human or animal.
So, we need to eat something to keep ourselves alive and so it’s better, really, to eat vegetables and fruits because we’re not ingesting hatred and fear and all the animal attributes, we don’t need those in our bodies.
What I would suggest, if you understand what I’m trying to say and want to go along with it is to try and consume just fruits, vegetables, pulses, nuts, and so on.
If you eat eggs and if you eat cheese and stuff like that, if you drink milk, we should try and reduce that as much as we can.
I’m sure that you understand the point I’m trying to make, that it’s actually physically not a good idea to eat meat and if you’re on the spiritual path, it’s even a worse idea to eat meat.
