"The [human] species will never learn to co-exist if given total freedom."

[YinYang]

Though we are conversing within a particular subject in this thread, I rarely see references to all life deserving compassion. It's usually just humans. We live on a planet, a being, without whom we couldn't exist in physicality. This opportunity allows us to incarnate, evolve, serve, so it goes way beyond physical. And all the nonhuman life on the planet—what about them? I mean it all including hated species such as insects and rats and viruses. It's all at the mercy of humans. Members here have suggested that the lower life forms serve us by suffering. Perhaps this is true. But does that make it okay? Would anyone here want this to continue? To say all is well because of the dance of light and dark works pretty well when one takes into consideration only humans, who have choice.

We are all one does not mean just humans are all one. When there is war, it's not just humans who suffer. At least humans can attend each others' wounds from various biological and explosive weaponry. Has anyone thought about the wounded animals? The trees?

Jeesh, sometimes I'm a real downer.

I don't think you're a downer, and I think your sentiments are shared by every empath on the planet, which I believe is the majority.

Questioner: Can you tell me why the Earth will be fourth-density positive instead of fourth-density negative after the cycle is complete since it seems that there is a greater negative population?

Ra: I am Ra. The Earth seems to be negative. That is due to the quiet, shall we say, horror which is the common distortion which those good or positively oriented entities have towards the occurrences which are of your space/time present. However, those oriented and harvestable in the ways of service to others greatly outnumber those whose orientation towards service to self has become that of harvestable quality.

I'm a huge animal lover, and lover of nature. I have unfollowed every one of my friends who share animal cruelty stuff of Facebook on a regular basis, simply because I just cannot look at it... I love insects too, even spiders. When one of those nice big ones, that is the size of your hand, decides to share our humble abode with us, I always catch it and throw it outside - and I am PETRIFIED of spiders.

It has taken me some time to get to this point, where I accept all the "ugliness" of this world. It has given me peace of mind. Sometimes I still fall back in the old ways, and get all riled up by something I witness or see in the news...  I have been following Ra's advice about internalising our polarity, starting with myself, my dark and my light. You become more accepting of the dark in others, when you have faced your own darkness, with as much honesty as you can muster.

At some point in your evolution in earlier lifetimes (or this one) you might have done some really atrocious things. Perhaps the majority of earthlings are at an early stage of their 3rd density evolution, which is okay. Allow them their evolution, sow the seed and walk away, without attachment to the outcome.

We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.

- Carl Jung

Acceptance transforms people, it's love, and love liberates (I'm quick to talk the talk! :-) Still learning to walk the walk). We also know that earth will become 4th density positive, which gives great comfort, to me at least. It could have gone the other way...

As for eating meat, I shared this in the meat thread many moons ago...
