None of the species on this Earth is meant to act in a superior manner toward any other. Exploitation in any form may bring short-term benefits but result in long-term losses. Exploiting humans or animals reflects loss of power and freedom for both the exploiter and the exploited. We have entered a time when every action not serving the highest interest of all involved, and that includes every person and animal on this planet, is backfiring immediately. Those who exploit animals to reap financial benefit and those who eat them or what they produce, are now treading the path of self-annihilation (of their physical bodies) through disease. This is not to say that eating flesh foods is wrong, just as it is not wrong to say that driving our cars with fossil fuels is wrong. What I am saying is that we may need to watch out for the opportunities for change, opportunities that correspond to a new level of energy waiting to be discovered and utilized for the betterment of all living creatures on Earth. Perhaps the most complex of human relationships with the animal kingdom exists between humans and cows.

Our societies are basically mute and deaf with regard to their relationship with cows. It is purely one-sided. Cows have become ‘food machines’ that provide us with our ‘daily bread’. We have concluded that this must be the reason why they exist. In truth, though, they are here to symbolize and manifest the frequencies of unconditional love and care, the feminine principles of our innermost giving nature. They also reflect to us how weak and vulnerable we have become by making ourselves so dependent on them for our livelihood and survival.
The exploitation of billions of farm animals for their meat and milk has become such a lucrative and accepted business on Earth that even the cutting down of the Earth’s rain forests to make room for cattle pastures is legalized and sanctified by governments. Yet the governments are only mirrors of the collective consciousness of the people. The rapid destruction of the planet and her species are part of what we do to ourselves, and although it seems so meaningless and wasteful, it serves as a last-minute wakeup call for every one of us to choose love over fear.  

Cows are very much our equals. Just because we do not share the same language does not mean that they are non-conscious beings. Can we really be so arrogant as to believe that animals don’t think or have feelings of their own? Their Higher Selves are no less developed than are ours. In actual fact, their connection to the higher dimensions usually is much more open than ours because they have little choice but to accept who they are in each moment. Because of their high state of consciousness, out of love for humankind and the Earth, cows have even accepted centuries of abuse and exploitation for meat and milk by humans. Now it is no longer acceptable for any species, including the cows, to be used against their will.
