privatised thought

Thoughts do not originate from the individuals who bring them through, they come from the collective consciousness which is rising to flood our conceptual world with the ideas our conjoined existence needs. To claim, privatise and own them for profit is how we got in this global mess in the first place.

The highest, most inspired, visionary thoughts are gifts which must be freely shared, because only those sufficiently awakened are capable of receiving them.

Truthtellers aren’t terrorists

Its high time the real terrorists got called to account. This includes all leaders of state and faith who have been deliberately manipulating people for sinister ends. All their deception, trickery and double speak is being shown up : they are in fear now, and their demise is imminent.

Remain non-attached and hold to the truth of love whilst the delusions dissolve.

All is unfolding in divine right order, all is well.

The speakers of truth have held the energy steadfast, and our hearts are strong and fearless.

Veganism is “extreme”?!

Only an extremely cruel oppressive species which habitually dominates and kills innocent creatures could call veganism extreme! Veganism is the only gentle peaceful way to live, the moral baseline of decency and care for the future of all Earthlings.

You can’t save fish by eating fish

It takes about 5kg of wild caught fish (plus grain) to produce 1kg of farmed fish. Half of the world’s fish catch is fed to farmed animals to produce eggs and meat so even if one is not eating seafood directly, one is still contributing to ocean deaths by eating other animal products. Fish feel pain. They are sentient beings with perceptual awareness and interests in their own lives. They are just as morally valuable as the whales we so desperately want to protect.

70% of all the fish in the sea have gone (since 1950 records). 90% of the large predatory fishes such as tuna, cod, salmon and swordfish have gone. It is predicted by scientists at current fishing rates that all the fishes will be gone by 2050. At a time of such crisis when we are faced with the real possibility of further mass extinctions of life in the sea, every fish is precious. The term “sustainable fishing” and eating only “sustainable species” is meaningless at a time of crisis. We cannot save fish by eating fish. If we want to save the ocean we have to stop eating it. Go vegan and stop the carnage. It’s morally the right thing to do. Save the ocean, be nonviolent, respect all species by letting them live. Being vegan is healthy, ethical, Earth friendly and it’s easy!

If creation is the body of god

I like this concept, it reminds me that Nature is the clothing of god, and animals are one of god’s ways of communicating with us. The way we value, respect and conserve the living world is determining our destiny.

Don’t believe in god or destiny or the sanctity of life?

What’s left then that you prize?

writivism

Any fellow writivists out there? I held a workshop on Writing as Effective Activism at Bristol Vegfest, and at the start only one of the group called themselves an activist. By the end of the hour, all but 2 of them were self identifying as activists, because of their newfound ability to use words to express and share issues that impassioned them – great result! Use the gift of language : when we stay mute in the face of evil we could become part of it.

Seeds of love

Never doubt the vivific force of the seeds and intentions your presence sows. A couple of years ago I met with some Brahma Kumari’s who were merely vegetarian the last time I was with them. I gently but firmly shared my Truth that day, and left them with peace. Today oh joy I learned that they and their events are now fully vegan.

In Divine Gratitude

Life without gristle

Life without gristle!

Even though it has been 50 years since I last had dead animal parts in my mouth I can remember and still gag at the thought of the revolting gristle, gribbly nubbles of fat, stinking dead fish with spikey bones, and cheese that stank of filthy feet, that I was forced to eat as a child. Eugh. Child abuse. Animal abuse. Abuse of the workers doing the dirty work for us. Abuse of this blessed earth. Its ALL ABUSE. Stop it please stop it.

property/ownership/value

People popularly say that unless a person owns something they do not value and protect it. I think that is nonsense. I have never owned property or other beings yet I have given unstintingly of my love, energy and effort to conserve and improve other peoples property I have been privileged to live in / borrow, and I have loved and nurtured every being which ever came into my sphere of protection and care. To the best of my ability and the extent of my conscious awareness at the time. Now I have not the physical energy for most of the doingness which formerly directed my days, yet I still strive to be of benefit, ease and comfort. Or should I more truthfully say Consciously comforting the afflicted and afflicting the unconsciously comfortable

duty of Truth

It is my moral and spiritual duty as I see it to share Truth. Then when I pass over I will rest in peace knowing I did all I could to raise awareness, ignite compassionate change, and help to transform our shared suffering on this beautiful besmirched world
