KARMA
by Hilarion
"You can perhaps appreciate that by causing pain and fear in the animals that
are slaughtered for food, a large quantity of karma is placed upon The Human
Race as a whole. This is shared by all humans to varying degrees, but those who
eat meat take on much more than those who do not, and those who actually raise
the animals for food or operate the slaughterhouses where they are killed, have
an enormous burden of karmic debt to discharge."
"In the case of someone who merely eats the meat but who does not participate
further in the carnage, the karma is usually set aside through the episodes of
illness which most people undergo and which are promoted by the very weakness
that the eating of the meat causes. There are, of course, certain meat-eaters
who appear never to become ill, this being due to a very strong metabolism which
they have inherited genetically. In such cases, the karma from the meat-eaters
is inevitably to be met through undergoing death at an earlier age than would
have been the case had no meat been eaten."
"Upon The Human Race lies a great karmic debt to The Animal Kingdom, a branch of
life which was made lower than Man and which was entrusted to his care in order
that Man could teach the animals, through kindness and through example,
something of the lessons which that Soul Group are attempting to assimilate. But
Man has assumed that all things on this Planet, including The Animal Kingdom,
are there but for his pleasure to do with as He wishes. He massacres the superb
animal life-forms that were placed here to beautify his environment so that He
can fill his stomach with their carcasses."
"This 'evil' does not go unnoticed, and soon retribution for this wanton
slaughter must descend upon The Human Race. Yet, even without a specific time of
karmic payment to discharge the weight of the millennia of carnage, the debt
would all be set aside. The reason relates to the way in which the eating of
meat affects the physical body of Man. To a great degree, this working out of
the karma for eating the animals is automatic."
"By suffering these extra illnesses and the early death, each human who has
eaten animal cadavers, and thus contributed to their death, fully sets aside his
part of the karma that arose with the death of the animals consumed."
"The tragedy is that these illnesses, the rapid aging, and the early death need
not occur. In The New Age about to break like a glorious dawn upon this Planet,
men will recognize their responsibility to the lesser Kingdoms of Life, and
never again will an animal have to be sacrificed for the sake of hunger or find
a grave in the stomach of a human being."
"The very large Bovine Group now upon The Earth is performing both a duty and a
sacrifice for Man. Not only do they give milk and all the other dairy products
for the consumption of The Human Race, but they willingly offer their very lives
so that Man may have meat to eat. When We say that they willingly lay down their
lives, We do not mean to imply that it is right for Mankind to take this 'gift'.
The butchering of these gentle animals for food generates a very large quantity
of karma for The Human Race, and this must be set aside by suffering and early
death."
"The Life-stream now manifesting in The Bovine Group knows fully well that
Humanity has fallen unthinkingly into the habit of consuming for food the
beautiful animal life-forms which were intended to be his companions and to
beautify his environment. And knowing this, they have decided to make the
sacrifice of their own physical bodies in order to allow other life-forms to be
spared, at least to some extent. If Man did not have The Bovine Group to feed
upon, He would have turned to other more delicate species, species whose
progress in a spiritual sense would have been hampered by being cruelly cut down
to find graves in man's stomach."
"There was a risk that without The Bovine Family, the great increase in
mankind's numbers as The Tribulation approached would have meant that some of
the smaller and more easily tamed species -- like the dog, the cat, the rabbit,
the squirrel, and others -- would have been practically wiped out of existence
by man's ravenous appetite for blood and flesh. If that had occurred, the
Life-streams now manifesting as these smaller animal species would have lost
much ground spiritually and would have been set back in their endeavor by having
undergone the cruel and heartless treatment which The Human Race now mainly
deals out to the cows, calves, and steers."
"The average person in North America has typically eaten so much outside protein
practically from birth that the body's own natural recycling ability (see The
Liver and Protein Requirements) has 'gone to sleep', so to speak. Specifically,
the liver loses its natural ability to recycle practically all of the body's own
protein and this gives rise to the protein dependence which is rampant today in
all affluent societies. This dependence arises as a part of the karma for the
slaughter of the beautiful animal life-forms which Man now consumes for food."
"The High Entities Who were responsible for the placing of these life-forms on
The Earth are caused much pain to observe the bloodletting of the
slaughterhouses, because They had intended the animals to beautify man's
environment and to act as vehicles for less-evolved souls with the idea that
contact with humans would uplift them and enlighten them. Such uplift and
enlightenment presupposed that Man would treat his animal brothers with love and
kindness. By murdering them, He only retards their progress and brings a heavy
karmic burden upon Himself."
"The services performed by The Guardians, Teachers, and Guides of The Human Race
are no different from the help that all levels on the scale of being are
expected to offer to the levels below. Indeed, We too have our own Guides and
Helpers on Higher Planes than our own, and They, in turn, have still loftier
Mentors. The chain of instruction, caring, and guidance continues unbroken to
the very highest Places in The Spiritual Panorama, and no creature, being, or
entity is ever left alone and unloved."
