Animals, on the other hand, seem to be much smarter than we are. They don’t behave as if death was the end of their existence. Not fussing over where they will die, they also don’t organize big funerals for other animals that die, however strong and powerful they might have been in the past. Furthermore, animals don’t set aside money as a pension for the times when they can no longer provide for themselves. Animals, plants, trees, etc. do not share the same fear of death, which drives man into fighting for a piece of land or acquiring power and wealth. They are in contact with their source and therefore have no need to follow a certain religion to tell them that their souls come from God.

Animals, plants, insects, forests, clouds, streams, oceans, the sun, the moon, the stars are all interconnected through the element of consciousness. Unless we are aware of our own consciousness, we can only perceive their three dimensional physical appearance but miss perceiving their underlying consciousness which is not any different from ours. We may not be aware of the tremendous work each aspect of creation is involved in on the inner planes of existence, but without its contribution, the wheel of evolution would stop turning. We may even believe that we are superior to animals, plants or minerals, and even to other human beings. This distorted understanding of reality is at the root of humankind’s socio-economic problems today.

We are equal and one with everything, not superior to it. Animals live this oneness. They operate in the love frequency even if this includes killing other animals. They know instinctively that by increasing or decreasing the numbers of their own or other species, they contribute to ecological balance, harmony and evolution of the whole. A key purpose of theirs is to teach us how we can do the same even if it means that they have to sacrifice their lives to help us. A dog that has found a master and has learned to love him may continue to love him unconditionally after been mistreated. Cows, chicken and other animals

know in what way and how long their kind has been abused, and still most of them give themselves to man. Yet more and more animals can no longer tolerate the abuse and prefer to leave the planet by contracting diseases that make them unfit for human consumption. It may still take a while before scientists will acknowledge that cattle diseases, for example, are manifestations of severe distress in these animals in the same way as psychological problems generate psychosomatic diseases in us.

The collective departure of entire animal species helps us to learn to love what we took for granted. We didn’t appreciate them when they were here but we will appreciate them once they are gone. A planet without animals would be a very lonely planet. They are departing in large numbers because they have nothing to gain any more from being here, except teaching us a final lesson. Many people are now becoming aware of this tragedy and are feeling the plight of those animals on the planet, that for the time being, have great difficulties in sharing the planet with us humans. Over 50 percent of the various species that have used Earth as a habitat for thousands of years are already extinct and more and more of the ones left behind are also endangered or are on the brink of extinction. This drastic change of planetary vibration has an unsettling influence on humanity as a whole. Yet there is also great learning in this.
