In short, I feel that there is a huge amount of distress on this planet, which I think is hindering the Harvest to a great extent. A great deal of that distress could be alleviated by humans simply eliminating dead animals from their diets. As I expressed in the above thread, I feel that we have a responsibility to do what we can to alleviate suffering. It isn't practical or even feasible for most of us to just quit driving cars, and that is a myth anyway, since becoming a vegetarian will contribute more to the solution than riding a bicycle.
Becoming a vegetarian is something we CAN do...it's very simple, and yet is the single most powerful action we can take, to dramatically change the dire situation on this planet. It would have far-reaching effects on human health, sustainability, ending world hunger, politics, reducing pollution, and last but not least, reducing suffering, which in turn affects us all as we near the Harvest. So there are huge, just huge, ramifications.
I say this with no disrespect whatsoever, Monica, but I wonder if you are doubting Q'uo's veracity in this case simply because their view towards the mending worldly woes does not comport with your own sense of urgency?
Is there more to your feeling that that channeling was off the mark? I ask merely because it seemed reasonable to me, if light on the social action component. It's not uncharacteristic that they would place emphasis on the spiritual, rather than the material, lessons, no?
