When the SHTF! & Human Animals

"Being [left] in ignorance, they may become less bad through fear of the unknown.

From Animal To Angel

This is your destiny.
"The man has, in his past, the animal; in his future, the angel. Both are visible even now in his face. So with all things, for all things change and grow." Patanjali

SHTF

15. The things on earth bestow no benefit on things in heaven; the things in heaven shower every benefit on things on earth. Of bodies everlasting heaven is the container; of those corruptible, the earth. Earth [is] irrational; the heaven [is] rational. The things in heaven [are] under it; the things on earth above the earth. What, [then] is God? The Good that naught can change. What, man? The bad that can be changed.

16. If thou rememberest these heads, thou wilt remember also what I have already set forth for thee with greater wealth of words. For these are summaries of those. Avoid, however, converse with the many [on these things]; not that I would that thou shouldst keep them selfishly unto thyself, but rather that thou shouldst not seem ridiculous unto the multitude. For that the like’s acceptable unto the like; the unlike’s never friend to the unlike. Such words as these have very very few to give them ear; nay, probably, they will not even have the few. They have, moreover, some [strange force] peculiar unto themselves; for they provoke the evil all the more to bad. Wherefore thou shouldst protect the many [from themselves], for they ignore the power of what’s been said. All that in man is animal, is proner unto bad [than unto good]; nay, it doth cohabit with it, because it is in love with it.

Now if this animal should learn that Cosmos is subject to genesis, and all things come and go according to Fore-knowledge and by Necessity, Fate ruling all,—in no long time it would grow worse than it is now, [and] thinking scorn of the whole [universe] as being subject unto genesis, and unto Fate referring [all] the causes of the bad, would never cease from every evil deed. Wherefore, care should be taken of them, in order that being [left] in ignorance, they may become less bad through fear of the unknown.
Thrice-Greatest Hermes, Vol. 3: I. Excerpts by Stobæus: Excerpt I. Of Piety and True Philosophy by G.R.S. Mead [1906]

2. For this [Re-] birth of Cosmos is the making new of all good things, and the most holy and most pious bringing-back again of Nature’s self, by means of a set course of time,—of Nature, which was without beginning, and which is without an end. For that God’s Will hath no beginning; and, in that ’tis the same and as it is, it is without an end.

"Our thoughts, whether they're right or they're wrong, are actually changing our biology. The Buddha said, "What we think, we become." Epigenetics is now saying, "What you are thinking is translated into chemistry, which will determine what you will become.” Dr. Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D

“This animal whose throat you are slitting may have been your grandmother in a previous life. Oh, you cruel human beings, who have given up the ways of gods, have you got nothing else left to eat but blood and gore?” Pythagoras

"The man has, in his past, the animal; in his future, the angel. Both are visible even now in his face. So with all things, for all things change and grow." Patanjali

If man is like his animal father, he resembles an animal ; if he is like the Divine Spirit that lives within his animal elements, he is like a god. If his reason is absorbed by his animal instincts, it becomes animal reason ; if it rises above his animal desires, it becomes angelic.

What, then, can be the true object of human life, except to attain the consciousness of one's own true and divine state, and to realise that one is not an animal, but a godlike being inhabiting a human animal form. All the divine powers are latent in man's divine nature.

"Mankind is obviously divided into god-informed men and lower human creatures." HPB
Take advantage of the opportunity you have to graduate from human animal form to angel!

"No animal ever grew to be a man, but the divine man, becoming incarnated in human-like animal forms, caused these forms to become the human beings, such as we know them at present upon our earth.

"According to the biblical account, God created the animals before He created man. The animal elements, instincts, and desires existed before the Divine Spirit illuminated them and made them into man. The animal soul of man is derived from the cosmic animal elements, and the animal kingdom is therefore the father of the animal man. If man is like his animal father, he resembles an animal ; if he is like the Divine Spirit that lives within his animal elements, he is like a god. If his reason is absorbed by his animal instincts, it becomes animal reason ; if it rises above his animal desires, it becomes angelic.

A man who loves to lead an animal life is an animal ruled by his interior animal heaven.1 The same stars (qualities) that cause a wolf to murder, a dog to steal, a cat to kill, a bird to sing, &c., make a man a singer, an eater, a talker, a lover, a murderer, a robber, or a thief. These are animal attributes, and they die with the animal elements to which they belong ; but the divine principle in man, which constitutes him a human being, and by which he is eminently distinguished from the animals, is not a product of the earth, nor is it generated by the animal kingdom, but it comes from God it is God, and is immortal, because, coming from a divine source, it cannot be otherwise than divine. Man should therefore live in harmony with his divine parent, and not in the animal elements of his soul." Hartmann

New meaning to - you are what you eat! 🙂
To be human once means to be human forever?

A popular myth about reincarnation assumes that once a soul reaches human form, it always returns to a human body in the next life and never reincarnates into a lower species...

We really get the chance to reincarnate into human form. But we can also return as dogs, cats, pigs or as beings of even lower species. The soul , regardless of higher or lower material bodies , remains unchanged. In any case, the type of body one will receive in the next life will be determined by the type of consciousness we develop in this life and the immutable laws of karma .

The Bhagavad-gita , the most original spiritual text describing reincarnation, karma and the eternal principles of Sanatana-dharma, spoken by God Himself , clearly states that when one dies under the influence of the quality of ignorance , one must assume an animal body:

If a person dies in the quality of passion, he is born among those who perform fruitive activities, and if he dies in the quality of ignorance, he is born in the animal kingdom. Bhagavad-gita 14.15

You Are What You Eat

"... the first step in adopting a pure diet is total abstinence from meat. Man must free himself wholly from the lusts of the flesh-pots; he must be purified entirely from the taste of blood. Teach him that he was never intended to be the universal scavenger, and that his stomach was never constituted to be the common sepulchre for the carcasses of animals. Let him understand that, in his primal dignity and God-like attributes, he was made to be the lord, not the ravager, of creation; that the office assigned him is that of protector, not destroyer, of all that his Maker pronounced " very good " ; and that he was ordained to rule over, not prey upon, the creatures below him. Then will his body and brain, his mind and soul—all the powers of his physical and spiritual nature —take the onward and upward, the higher and better, direction.

Animals are constantly throwing off effete matter, which is stopped the instant the life is taken and remains in the animal tissue. To this unexpelled effete matter is added that produced by the putrefactive processes which so quickly begin in flesh foods exposed to air and warmth. The little nourishment contained in flesh is derived from the vegetable kingdom; why, then, should man partake of second-hand nourishment?

The use of animal food has a tendency to develop the animal propensities.* Food supplies the elements of our tissues; we, i.e., our bodies, are literally made of what we eat. According to our diet will be the condition of " the house we live in "—this bodily tenement of the immortal spirit, which we are commanded by its Author to keep pure, holy, and undefiled.

"The thoughts and feelings which the food we partake of provokes are not remarked in common life, but they nevertheless have their significance. The man who daily sees cows and calves slaughtered (or who kills them himself), hogs ' stuck,' hens ' plucked,' etc., cannot possibly retain any true feeling for the sufferings of his own species. How very different are the thoughts and sentiments produced by the non-flesh diet!"
— Gustav Von Strive.

Oliver Wendell Holmes says:
" Most assuredly I do believe that body and mind are much influenced by the kind of food habitually depended upon. I can never stray among the village people of our windy capes without now and then coming upon a human being who looks as if he had been split, salted, and dried, like the salt fish that has built up his arid organism. If the body is modified by the food which nourishes it, the kind and character very certainly will be modified by it also. We know enough of their close connection with each other to be sure of that without any statistical observation to prove it."

If one stops to compare the age of man to-day with Adam's 930 years, he cannot but realize that there must be a reason for the striking difference. Adam must have known more about the laws of health, or it may be we have forgotten that " God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat ; and it was so " (Gen. i. 29, 30). This was the first commandment concerning food; and it applies to us as well as to Adam, for God is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever.

Worms

Had chemical processes taken place in the cells which had stored the 'old' memories and transmitted the past experiences to the newly formed cells?

That was exactly what had happened. When an 'unskilled' flatworm devours a 'skilled' fellow creature, he takes over the abilities his victim has acquired. Experiments in other laboratories confirmed that if the cells from an animal that had been taught certain skills were inserted into the body of another animal the same skills continued to function. For example, rats were taught to press a specially coloured key if they wanted to reach their food. When the animals had completely mastered their lesson they were killed, an extract was taken from their brains and injected into the abdominal cavities of untrained rats. After only a few hours the untrained rats were already using the same coloured key.

Experiments with goldfish and rabbits confirmed the assumption that learned knowledge can be transmitted from one body to another by the transfer of certain cells.

Memory Transference

I was given a young man's heart - and started craving beer and Kentucky Fried Chicken. My daughter said I even walked like a man

"After a heart and lung transplant operation, dancer Claire Sylvia discovered that new organs were not the only thing she inherited. Never having liked such foods as beer and chicken nuggets, she suddenly started craving them. After an extraordinary dream, she seeks out the family of her donor — a teenaged boy who died in a motorcycle accident — and learns that it is indeed possible for two souls to merge in one body."
This is a story that must be told and heard...a fascinating example of how cellular memory can outlive physical death". — Deepak Chopra, M.D.

From the time of the first procedures, there has always been a curious phenomenon that’s now acknowledged in the medical community as a possible side effect of a heart transplant. It’s called memory transference. One of the earliest examples of this phenomenon was documented by the direct experience of a woman named Claire Sylvia who received a transplant in 1988. Her memoir, A Change of Heart, is an account of her experiences as a recipient and how they opened the door to researchers for the serious study, and eventual acceptance, of how life’s memories can be preserved within the heart itself, regardless of whose body the heart resides within.23
It was clear that Tim’s desire for the foods he enjoyed in his lifetime was now part of Sylvia’s experience and that she had acquired her cravings through memory transference.24

Key 18: Scientific documentation of memories carried from a donor into the body of a recipient through the heart itself—memory transference—demonstrates just how real the heart’s memory is.
Braden, Gregg. Human by Design: From Evolution by Chance to Transformation by Choice (Kindle Locations 1239-1243).

This same memory transference is in the meat of the frightened animals killed when you eat meat. You eat their fear.

"For verily when the world feels convinced - and it cannot avoid coming one day to such a conviction - that animals are creatures as eternal as we ourselves, vivisection and other permanent tortures, daily inflicted on the poor brutes, will, after calling forth an outburst of maledictions and threats from society generally, force all Governments to put an end to those barbarous and shameful practices." HPB

They are on the same journey as man, just not as advanced in their evolution as man. Most will become man. Nurture and love your pets! They may achieve greatness and you will have, in a small way, contributed to that greatness.

The original Hebrew text of Chapter XXIV of Leviticus is full of it. Instead of the verses 17 and 18 as translated in the Bible: "And he that killeth a beast shall make it good, beast for beast" in the original it stands: - "life for life," or rather "soul for soul," nephesh tachat nephesh

Food For Thought

The sacrifice of children and similarly our disinterest in their plight, is directly related to our thirst for blood. Some might remember that we ate "long pig" (humans) or "hairless goat" (children) when we were barbarians. I guess that is why they call our children kids?
