They are the gentlest of us

Dolphin Achieving peace between human beings, from the household to the international battlefields, depends upon treating each other with respect and kindness.

This will be possible when we first extend that respect and kindness to those who are at our mercy and who cannot retaliate against us.

May all beings be free and at peace,  Will

Looking deeply at our food

Bee When we look deeply enough, we discover a disturbing force that is fundamental in generating our dilemmas and crises, a force that is not actually hidden at all, but is staring up at us every day from our plates!

It has been lying undiscovered all along in the most obvious of places: It is our food.

May all beings be free and at peace,  Will

Healthy seeds, healthy fruit

Farm Animals1 Honoring our natural place in the web of life by eating the foods intended for us will plant seeds of abundance, love, and freedom, whatever our religion may be.

Our prayers for peace will bear fruit when we are living the prayer for peace and, most importantly, when we offer peace to those who are at our mercy and who also long for peace and the freedom to live their lives and fulfill their purposes.

May all beings be free and at peace,  Will

Affect … effect

Horse Our welfare is ultimately dependent on the welfare of others.

By freeing and encouraging others we are liberated and encouraged.

We can never sever our connection to all beings, but we can ignore and violate it, planting seeds of tragedy and suffering.

May all beings be free and at peace,  Will

Intuition and sensitivity

Giraffes The inner feminine is our intuition, our sensitivity, and our ability to sense the profound interconnectedness of events and beings, and it is vital to peace, wisdom, joy, intelligence, creativity, and spiritual awakening.

With every baby calf stolen from her mother and killed, with every gallon of milk stolen from enslaved and broken mothers, with every thrust of the raping sperm gun, with every egg stolen from a helpless, frantic hen, and with every baby chick killed or locked for life in a hellish nightmare cage, we kill the sacred feminine within ourselves.

May all beings be free and at peace,  Will

The Divine Feminine

3 Elephants1 Liberating and honoring the feminine principle is perhaps the most pressing task in our culture’s evolution toward peace, sustainability, and spiritual maturity.

The feminine principle, cross-culturally, is concerned fundamentally with nurturing, receptivity, making connections, intuition, and bringing forth new life.

Predation

Leopard Many spiritual teachers have pointed out that when we harm others, we harm ourselves even more severely.

The hard-heartedness of the killer and exploiter is in itself a terrible punishment because it is a loss of sensitivity to the beauty and sacredness of life.

That loss may go unrecognized, but the life itself, armored, violent, and competitive, is lived as a struggle of separateness and underlying fear, and its relations with others are poisoned.

It is simply not worth it

Cow Many spiritual teachers have pointed out that when we harm others, we harm ourselves even more severely.

Beautiful …

AFrog16 When we uproot exclusion and domination from our plates, seeds of compassion can finally freely blossom, and this process depends primarily on us watering the seeds and fully contributing our unique journey.

We depend on each other, and as we free the beings we call animals, we will regain our freedom. Loving them, we will learn to love each other and be fully loved.

May all beings be free and at peace,  Will

Being ourselves, we transform others

Zebras Within us lie seeds of awakening and compassion that may be already sprouting.

Our individual journeys of transformation and spiritual evolution call us to question who and what we’ve been told we and others are, to discover and cultivate the seeds of insight and clarity within us, and to realize the connections we’ve been taught to ignore.

As we do this and as our web of journeys interweaves within our culture, cross-fertilizing and planting seeds, we can continue the transformation that is now well underway, and transcend the obsolete old paradigm that generates cycles of violence.

May all beings be free and at peace,  Will
