Make Peace by Being Peace

We cannot really move forward individually and collectively without first making our peace with the planet and all its life forms. It is time to cherish and honor everything that is given to us. Taking the lives of animals and eating them is not their choice. We have put ourselves above other beings that share their presences with us on this Earth. But such superior behavior is backfiring now. Chief Seattle rightly said: “All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. Man does not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”

This also applies to the creatures of the Earth. Cows in particular exhibit the qualities of contentedness, gentleness and motherliness. Humans greatly benefit from seeing cows in their natural settings. The cows, which embody the Divine Feminine, instill sacred imagery in our heart and thereby strengthen our feminine qualities of love and tenderness. But we have distanced ourselves so far from our own Divine qualities that we are unable to even conceive of the Divine qualities that all the other creatures living on the Earth represent. The human race at large has denied its Divine Feminine for a long time. As a result of suppressing these nourishing and giving qualities, the aggressive and hostile masculine qualities became the rule of life on Earth.

The exploitation of cows, pigs, sheep, horses, chicken, sea creatures and natural resources has been an exploitation of the Divine Feminine in all these creatures and Mother Earth; it reflects the exploitation of our own feminine essence. We have dishonored and disrespected nature and its creatures because we dishonored and disrespected the Divine Feminine within ourselves. It is the lack of connection with our Divine Feminine that makes it possible for us to kill and eat animals and to destroy our natural world. There are basically two ways to save our environment from further destruction, both of which are already being enacted.

The first and most preferable one is to enliven our inner Divine nature, which naturally translates into a harmonious and caring relationship with the natural world. This may not be easy because it involves the experience of pain that we ourselves have inflicted upon the creatures of Earth, and thereby ourselves, during the eons of abuse and exploitation. This pain is reflected in the current public outcry of large numbers of people who feel they are being called to save the environment from further degradation. Animal protection groups, Greenpeace, ‘Save the Planet’ organizations, etc, are desperately trying to avert the danger that has already come. The more people who start to feel the pain that we all have directly or indirectly ‘caused’ to the humans and other creatures sharing our space, and to the Earth herself, the more quickly will we all transform into a harmonious organism of oneness, love and power. Feeling the pain allows us to become peace and to make peace with life.

    Dear Andreas,
    I have read your work (whatever Google allowed) and found it immensely insightful! You have made me realize simple facts. How can people in India reach out to you?

    I kind of doubt that Chief Seattle was a vegetarian, Andreas. He was merely observing the way our non-perfectible world works: that what we do to the web, we do to ourselves [and that it cannot be helped.] We can decrease our cruelty but not eliminate it. Personally, I don't like the excesses of mushy application of female principle that has taken over our culture in recent decades. It was too much the other way, now it has lurched over to the other extreme.

    Me, I don't eat meat but I know that some day I may be required to, just to stay alive. I don't know if I could shoot the deer on our land (they come right up to the house) but I'd feel like a coward if I got someone else to do it. What do you think.

      There is nothing wrong with either. Each person should live their life according to what they believe is right and good for them. Some feel they need to eat meat, others don’t. They are all having a valid experience. 

      It is my experience that meat made me seriously ill and interfered with my spiritual development and vibration, and so I stopped eating it nearly 40 years ago and became vegetarian. In this regard, eating meat offered me a valuable insight and lesson, and I am grateful for that. 

      If I were in a situation of not surviving without meat, I would not have a problem checking out. I had near-death experiences before, and they were fantastic. Death, in my opinion, is not something to fear, but to embrace.

      Warmly,  Andreas

    Andreas, thank you for your most illuminating reply. I would like to respectfully suggest, though, that unless you have the constitution of Moses or The Christ, you could not withstand death by starvation.

    I have no way of knowing if death would be nicer for me than living on this earth. You had an experience and that is good, of course, but I don't see this as applying to everyone. Maybe it was the being-dead that was peaceful & pleasant, but I am talking here about the drawn-out deaths some people have, and, especially in starvation, I know that they cannot be pleasant in the least.

    Thank you for all the ways in which you help people. I have bought & read your Liver Flush book & done 2 flushes and am having what I believe to be the after-effects now, where I need to use the Kidney Tea. I never get headaches, and now, right after this last flush, I am getting one, so that is a sign for me that something is "going on".

      You are certainly right about the gruesome way of dying slowly because of not getting enough food. But getting too much food can just about starve people and cause them to die from severe malnourishment. 

      Two thirds of Americans are now overweight or obese, which is nothing but a form of advanced stage of starvation. The junk foods most people consume are void of nutrients and slowly starve the cells to death. We just give different names to this form of starvation, that is, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, liver and kidney failure, etc. Dying from these disorders can just be as painful. Eating meat has a lot to do with it. 

      In 2008, the National Institute of Cancer released findings from a study conducted on 550,000 Americans that showed a 20% increase in the risk of dying from cancer, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, respiratory infections, etc., among regular meat eaters. If eating meat kills so many people, how many more are ill from it, but don’t die? Millions. 

      When I was a child (and a regular meat eater) I was slowly dying from a heart condition and given one year to live. I also had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. I began to recover the moment I became a vegetarian and, of course, didn’t die.  One of my three near-death experiences occurred during a long and very agonizing bout of malaria in India. I can only say you can learn much about living when you die under such grim circumstances (and come back).    

      I believe if there is enough land and water to raise cattle, then there is also enough land and water to grow vegetables. If there is no more water and food for animals, then everyone will perish, too, anyway.

      Warmly, Andreas

        I am really anxious to tell you the following: I had read in your book on liver flushing where you said that eating meat has the same stressful, negative effect - actually, an even greater effect - on the pancreas as pure sugar! "Right," I thought. I know you care about animals and I suspected that maybe you were making this up to get people to stop chewing on animals.

        Later, though, I recalled what a penpal of mine had told me: that her diabetic mother, who was in a care home, and in poor shape, had meat removed from her diet because it was...too hard on her pancreas! Hot damn, Andreas! You wuz right so I owe you an apology. However, the nonmeat diet helped the stress on her blood-sugar system, but guess what, she became anemic. I guess that after 75 years of meat, your body gets too accustomed to it and can no longer extract nutrients from plant foods.

        I think your outlook on life & death is largely a result of your bout with malaria and near-death experiences, not to mention being told as a kid you had a year to live! Most of us have a somewhat different view. Me, I think desire and its eruption in us as physical beings, is right, normal and natural and that death should not be welcomed unless one is suffering horribly. I don't necessarily look forward to some kind of halcyon, nonphysical existence, though I know of a woman who also had a NDE and she couldn't wait to cross over. This woman was a former nun and in her NDE she had met the virgin Mary, whom she loved and therefore wanted to meet (again).

          True, there is a lot more scientific research now to confirm what I claimed 15 years ago, that meat is actually a leading cause of diabetes.  It always made sense to me, especially after I was able to help many hundreds of diabetics to become diabetes-free after just 6 weeks of eating vegan-vegetarian, and doing some cleansing.  I didn't need more proof than that to make these outrageous claims.  In a way, I now feel vindicated, with all the new research confirming it.

          I certainly view death in a very different light.  Being without the physical body is actually a lot more joyful and beautiful; every thought and desire materializes instantly. There are infinitely more possibilities than are available to us when in a physical body.  Being born into a physical body can be very challenging and limiting, whereas leaving the physical body is more like coming home.  It's difficult to imagine what it is like without a conscious experience of dying.  The medical industry and society at large view death as something terrible that needs to be avoided at all cost. Death is almost considered to be a final punishment.  If only people knew...

            I agree with you, death shouldn't "be avoided at all costs". It is sad the things people do to avoid it. I never said that death was a bad thing. I said that we incarnated as humans in order to experience a physical life, with all the happiness and also strain that it entails. There is no sense, and I actually believe it's pathological, to be constantly thinking about how wonderful the next world is.

            I think that your word should be taken for something, but I can only say that at the present time, in spite of challenges and difficulties, I have "things to do" and when each desire and duty is complete, only then will I likely hope for death. And I hope it is a natural death, too, not like today where everyone perishes of some horrid disease.

            My grandmother died at the age of 95 and in my judgment it was a natural death. She had no disease. She just stayed in bed one morning and kept staying there for several days, saying she didn't want to eat. Thankfully, her caregiver, a relative, didn't call the doctor! But when she died quietly in her bed, guess what - it was such an anomaly that, because of legal requirements, she had to be "kept on ice" until her own doctor (who she went to infrequently) could confirm that she just "died" and was not hastened along by any unnatural intervention.

            Could I make this up.

              I love it. When my grandmother died of just old age, my grandfather, although perfectly healthy, died 10 days later after he said he missed her too much and wanted to join her. No cause of death was ever determined. He just closed his eyes, and never opened them again. People used to die when it was the right time. As you said, now one seems to have a negative reason, such as an ailment, to die. I think we still can learn a lot from the older folks.
