In regards to eating meat

[Shemaya]

I do give them examples and talk to them about it....glad to hear you are not telling me what I should do

What I meant was, if a hypothetical person, let's say Sue, wanted to raise her family's awareness, and reduce their meat consumption, it would be far more effective for her to quit eating meat herself, or at least reduce it. They would then notice her actions. Just telling them about it, while still eating meat, won't work at all.

You know the saying "children do what they see their parents do, not what they're told"

I eat small amounts of meat when I eat it, unless I feel depleted in iron and feel that heme-iron would be beneficial in the moment. I have reduced meat consumption. Yes, children see what their parents do and many times they have two parents who have different viewpoints.

That is not what she said at all, that's twisted logic actually

Then please explain it to me. How are animals "Gaia's body" but humans aren't? Why does Gaia "not mind" her animal children suffering horribly, but does mind her human children being violent to one another?

Q'uo has stated that Gaia's turbulent weather is blowing off steam. I seem to recall that was from all the violence, hatred and fear energies from the humans.

So does Gaia mind or not?

As far as I know, humans are Gaia's body as well, the whole planet is. Gaia grieves over all planetary suffering, animals , humans, and especially children.... all suffering is painful to her.

Eating meat does not necessarily cause great suffering to the animal. Death is not necessarily "suffering". Inhumane treatment and cruelty cause suffering however, and I am sure Gaia grieves over that also.
