CARNIVORE CANNIBAL COWS

“You may remember a science fiction movie starring Charlton Heston called “Soylent Green”.  (Winner Best Science Fiction Film of Year, 1973 – Saturn Award, Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films )

 

In the movie the character played by Heston discovers that the green pellets being served to people as food each day were being produced from the recycled remains of dead human bodies, making everyone into unwitting cannibals! Is this type of food production just science fiction?

Today, public relation campaigns and catchy slogans notwithstanding, we have a new food chain. For reasons of efficiency and economics, many cattlemen feed their animals anything. Repeat: anything.

Environmental reporters, Satchell and Hedges, tell us: “Agricultural refuse such as corncobs, rice hulls, fruit and vegetable peelings, along with grain byproducts from retail production of baked goods, cereals, and beer, have long been used to fatten cattle.”

The authors continue, “In addition, some 40 billion pounds a year of slaughterhouse wastes like blood, bone, and viscera, as well as the remains of millions of dead cats and dogs passed along by veterinarians and animal shelters, are rendered annually into livestock feed–in the process turning cattle and hogs, which are natural herbivores, into unwitting carnivores.”

Many of America’s once proud cattlemen have not only turned herbivores into carnivores, but have also turned their cows into cannibals!”

BEING WITHOUT A BODY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

I write or edit books for Spiritual Beings and about Spiritual Beings.  Personally, I think there is far too much literature in our culture that glorifies games played in the physical universe.  Foremost in importance of those games, we are told by play-writes, poets and other propogandists, are those being played by Beings who inhabit bodies.

However, as Spiritual Beings, we are most certainly not a physical object.  We may inhabit and animate the body — endow it with life — from time to time.  However, animating an object does not mean that one IS the object.  Western culture in particular enforces the false notion that each person IS a body.  This activity is a trick and a trap.  It is a method of control devised to enslave everyone, including the benefactors of slavery such as priests, politicians, bankers and other self-appointed aristocrats.  Thieves and tyrants like these are also Spiritual Beings, though they deny that reality to themselves, as well as those they pretend to ‘lead’.

I trust you will find some story, poem, or insight in my books that will help remind you  that you are the spiritual essence that is You.  I empathize with you, as we float on this mirage in space called Earth.  This is not our home.  Although we are not alone, I am sure that You are the Hand that guides You. I encourage you to remain true to yourself.  Be your own best friend.  We may endure that rest of Eternity alone, unless you  and I can find each other in the end — with or without a body.
