On the Relationship Between Animals and Humanity

★The Relationship Between Animals and Humanity

Today, let’s look at the relationship between animals and humanity. You know that animals and humans are different, right? But how exactly they differ, most people on Earth recognize only vaguely.

Simply by clarifying this vague difference and understanding it clearly, your consciousness deepens in an instant.

Why? Because through it you can clearly become aware of the purpose and mission for which you were born as a human being, and a thick pillar of light rises up along the spine of your heart.

★Whether There Is Reason and Intellect

Well then, let’s look right away.

Humans have the power to think based on reason and intellect. Animals do react instinctively based on emotional thoughts, but they have no means of forming constructive thoughts based on reason and intellect and unfolding them concretely in the world. This is the fundamental difference that separates animals from humanity.

If you deeply explore what this means and look back on humanity’s own way of living, you can surely notice how very one-sided, favoring only humans, a way of living it has been to casually kill and eat animals, or to think, “As long as it’s good for humans, it’s fine to overdevelop the Earth even if it threatens their habitats and their right to live. It’s fine to pollute the seas, rivers, and lakes, to pollute the land and the air, to do anything at all to the Earth. That’s humans’ freedom. Humans alone are special.”

Certainly, the Earth world up to today has been built with the civilization and culture of Earth’s humanity at its center. Even a child who has only just begun to understand things can see that it is not a world that developed with other animals at the center.

And yet the civilization and culture that humanity, the central figure of this Earth world, has built up until now never thought of the animals’ happiness. On the contrary, it has sacrificed the lives and livelihoods of countless animals and piled development upon development even at the cost of taking away the homes of wild animals… In this way, it has partly been built upon their great sacrifice.

Recently, in a very small number of places, we have begun to see moves toward coexistence and mutual prosperity with them. Even so, the way of thinking of the average member of Earth’s humanity until now has been, “In everything, as long as it’s good for humans, that’s fine. It doesn’t matter what happens to other living things.”

Seen from the society of the universe, this looks like a way of being that is still in the middle of growing up.

However kindly we look upon the physical humans of Earth, in their essence they are the same as us. But in the ecology of how they appear, they still retain many traces of animal nature. That is how the average member of Earth’s humanity has looked from the universe until now.

★As Physical Bodies, Human Lives Have the Same Value as Animals’

From the spiritual side, animals and humanity are fundamentally different in whether or not they have reason and intellect. But seen from the physical side, their value is exactly the same. Neither one is superior, and neither one is inferior.

I mentioned the great sacrifice a moment ago. Quite literally, physical humans use every last part of the animals they can eat, down to the marrow of their bones, don’t they? There is even the custom of fattening ducks and the like and savoring their livers as a delicacy.

Chickens, cows, pigs, and perhaps others as well: the animals called livestock have their eggs, milk, and meat taken from them as much as possible for the desires of physical humans, the desire for money and the appetite for food, and they are raised and killed again and again for human convenience. And humanity has never offered any apology or repayment for their sacrifice.

Some of the farmers who actually deal with them do have affection for them, so that’s something. But when you only eat them in return for the money you paid, your feelings toward them inevitably tend to fade. Most people offer no prayer of thanks for their sacrifice and no prayer that they may fulfill their mission. They see them only as ingredients to satisfy their appetite, and it is not unusual for them to throw away the leftovers without any feeling of gratitude.

Here there is room for a kindness that humanity can grow from now on.

To put our feelings in a way easy for you to imagine, let me see, maybe it’s easiest if you picture the age called primitive times. Long, long ago, when mammoths were still alive, there was something called hunting. Many people would surround a large animal and stab it with spears, killing the animals and eating them. You could not do the same thing now, could you? That image in your mind looks like a rough, savage act, doesn’t it? For you who are used to modern life, living by eating them in that way is something you would hesitate to do, right?

In the same way, seen from our world, your present habit of eating land animals and water animals (living things with faces) rather than plants looks like something we could never imitate.

They eat and excrete, they die if they don’t sleep, and they have the emotional thoughts of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure. Apart from whether they have the spirituality of reason and intellect connected to the source of life, as physical bodies, humans and other living things with faces are no different at all.

So as physical beings, the people of Earth have until now lived by taking fellow beings who have the same life. It’s only in the last five or ten years that you yourself have mostly stopped eating your fellow beings like that. One more push, and you need to move to a completely plant-based diet. Not eating at all is a story further down the road.

★The Fundamental Way of Living Humanity Is Called To

So this brings us to the question of how humanity can achieve coexistence and mutual prosperity with them from now on. Of course it means not eating them, not driving them out, and not killing needlessly. But as a more fundamental way of living, remembering the creative consciousness of the universe comes before anything else. Unless everyone becomes one with the divine within, remembers their divinity, and stands in the position of that consciousness of the Creator, building and maintaining a good relationship with the living beings who are its creatures is only a distant dream.

It’s easy to send up an advertising balloon of ideals like “symbiosis” or “coexistence and mutual prosperity,” but when it comes to how to actually carry them out, the answers drawn from thinking tied to the view of humans as physical beings tend to be only temporary. That is because as long as the people of Earth repeat the way they have lived until now, there is no way to a fundamental solution.

★The Old Way of Living Is Coming to an End

This is important, so listen closely.

The way Earth’s humanity has lived until now has already reached a dead end.

If you continue living the way you have until now, you may end up walking a very painful road together with many living things on Earth. But it’s all right. Even now, you can choose your way of living again.

Among the scientists who have noticed this fact, there are some who think, “Well then, let’s just move Earth’s humanity to another planet,” and are actually trying to carry out a one-way-ticket plan to move people to Mars. That strays from the point of today’s talk, so I’ll save it for another time, but I will just say that it is not the path we recommend.

Your “mission of life,” shared by every member of Earth’s humanity, is to make this planet, the heaven and earth given to Earth’s humanity by the Great Life, into a world of refined vibration where the vibration of cosmic life appears directly.

To put it in other, easier words, “making Earth a peaceful planet” and “building a harmonious world on Earth” is the shared mission of Earth’s humanity.

★Moving to a Plant-Based Diet (Not Eating Living Things with Faces)

As part of the basic actions toward that, there is the task of “not eating living things with faces, and for those who want to eat, eating only plants.”

That is the natural way of being in the worlds of the stars that have already finished spiritualizing their hearts and bodies.

★The Dimensional Ascension of the Food Chain

And many people think that “the food chain of the survival of the fittest” has nothing to do with humans and belongs only to the animal world, but its origin is actually “the state of the spirituality of Earth’s humanity.” Many people misunderstand this point, but if humanity changes, the face of the animal world will change completely too.

★The Natural Selection of Living Things

Naturally, some creatures such as cockroaches will finish their roles and die out. That is because when Earth’s humanity ascends, they will have finished their mission of making humans aware of the uncleanliness of their hearts and homes. But all such changes are nothing more than a process of drawing closer to a more perfect world, and not something to especially rejoice over or grieve about.

★To Achieve Coexistence and Mutual Prosperity with the Animals

Let me repeat it at the end: as long as humanity evolves in consciousness, coexistence and mutual prosperity with the animals will be achieved.

Economy-above-all thinking will finish its role and needless overdevelopment will stop, and because what both humans and animals eat will change, they will no longer feel harm from each other or cause harm to each other.

Put the other way around, depending on the state of human consciousness, we may continue to face challenges such as illnesses that arise from our relationship with animals, problems from overlapping living areas, and the extinction of animals. But these are also signs for awareness, helping humanity turn toward a gentler way of living.

To prevent such situations, I hope that people with a heart will take the lead in advancing their own evolution of consciousness and become people of the divine realm.

The more such people there are, the more gently the vibrational adjustment of the whole Earth can be carried out.
