Ok folks i summed all what was related to eating animals in this particular system.
Let me summarise what is to extrapolated from below. Remember this is a fraction of the book "This is My word". In a next post i will summarise all about the "Fall" of mankind so that it may be better observable for those not familiar with the writings. I only have read this book but they have other too. Especially interesting i find those called "Messege from the All(cosmos)". "All" means also universe on german so it fits. I saw (actually heard) on television audio material of Gabriele channeling. She is not using a board like the QFG but channeles directly through her speaking apparatus. Someday maybe i will post something on these books also but to then...
Remember: i am not saying anything, just citing and summarizing so dont attack me please if something is not pleasing to you :D
So i summarized pretty much everthing regarding eating animals but i cannot say that a definitve reason for that has been found (eg. "you should not eat them beacuse you´ll grow a tail :D). The "strongest" thing is that animals carry a soul potential and are our second neighbours and Jesus said to men after the great flood that they should not eat flesh beacuse it is "far from God".
In the below cited sections (sorry for no page number - the downloadable version doesn´t have page numbers, it is acctually for online viewing but you can copy/paste it wherewer you want to) there is following to note:
- God is in everything
- animals have a "part soul", which means not yet developed soul potential of a "filiated" soul, they are our "second neighbour"
- animals as food are "dead food"
- animals can hardly express they grief and pain, are not man´s property to do with them as he pleases
- the hunter will be the hunted, man will experience on his soul body everything he does to the natures kingdom incl. animals
- the right food should be fruits of the field and of the forest
Now in this cited stuff also can be found:
- the law of "what you sow you will harvest" - there are "purification spheres" where man goes after he dies on earth where he must endure what he has caused, he is his own judge
- there is mentioning about nuclear test destroying the atmosphere and nature itself, genetic experiments, anomalous earth magnetic system which affects negatively birds and ocean life etc...
This is a fraction of the book.
Ch.14:
I Am the truth. The one who acts against life is also against himself, as he, too, is the life. For all the powers
of life are active in him - even the life of animals and plants. For everything is the life that flows from the one
primordial source, from God.
As long as a person causes suffering to his neighbour - whether human beings, animals or plants - he will suffer,
too.
...
Woe to the hunters, and woe to those who crave for meat! Both the hunters and those who, like cannibals, greedily
consume the flesh of animals will be tormented and pursued by the anguish, suffering and pain of the animals. The
same applies to those who violate the plant and mineral kingdoms. They, too, will suffer because of their sinful
deeds. The person will harvest what he sows, either in his earthly life or as a soul in the spheres of
purification. Therefore, watch your thoughts, words and deeds, for they can be your undoing.
...
Ch.17:
A collective guilt comes about when people join together in killing human beings or animals and violate the plant
and mineral kingdoms.
Ch.18:
"... eat what is set before you, but not what was alive”, "... eat and drink what they set before you without the
shedding of blood” - in both statements lies the following meaning: When they shed the blood of an animal for you,
then refuse it in time, before it is led to the slaughterhouse for you; for no animal shall be sacrificed - neither
for God nor for men. Human and animal sacrifices are an abomination before God. God, the One, spoke against animal
and human sacrifices in the Old Covenant as well as in the New Covenant.
Ch.19:
Never slaughter an animal for your personal use. Behold, nature, the life of creation, provides for you. The fruits
of the fields, of the gardens and the forests should be sufficient for you. And never trample on life
intentionally, neither that of the animals nor that of the plants. The one who intentionally tramples on life
creates causes. It is as if he tramples on his own life, and he will suffer from it.
Ch.21:
Even when a person has acquired an animal, it is nevertheless not his property. Just as the spiritual body, the
soul in the human being, is part of the eternal Being - because the Eternal has created the spiritual body, and the
spirit being lives through the Eternal in the eternal Being - so was the animal created by the eternal Creator-
Spirit and is part of the life which is and lasts eternally - God.
...
An animal cannot speak. It suffers and endures silently and can hardly express its pain and grief. Only the one who
selflessly loves people, animals, plants and stones perceives the pain and agony endured by the animal.
...
Woe to those who sin against man, animal, plant, stone and against everything God has given them for a life in
Him! Many people have become numbed in their very nature. Their human ego strives solely for its own benefit. Thus,
the selfish person deals unfairly with his fellow man and exploits the nature kingdoms, too. Man of this time
[1989] has laid and is laying hands on the great earth-man, the earth. He pollutes the earth, violates the life on
it and interferes in the atmosphere through his use of nuclear power, as well as of chemicals and other things.
Thus, he violates the earth and all that lives on it, and destroys its atmospheric mantle, which provides it and
all earthly life with protection.
Especially in this turn of time, the turning point from the old sinful time to the Era of Light, animal and plant
species are calling out - with the forces of their sensations, with the language of their consciousness - to their
Creator for help and rescue. Animals and plants are suffering unimaginably from the excesses of the human ego, of
human selfishness. Oppressed life calls for mercy and deliverance.
God, My Father, the Creator of all forms of life, has heard the oppressed creatures. Many animal species are dying
out because of man's negative practices. Their spiritual powers either return into the soul of the earth or go into
the pure spheres of the eternal Being. For many, this is a deliverance. Many of them, however, will come back when
the light dwells on earth, because people then live in unity with God.
...
Know that every misdeed and every ill-treatment that has not been atoned for - whether towards humans, animals,
plants or even stones, that is, towards the whole earth and the atmosphere - falls back upon the initiator.
Recognize: Many animals are given to man so that they may serve him. Many are given to preserve the ecological
balance. However, a right, reciprocal serving can exist only when man has unfolded the filiation-love that comes
from the Father-Mother-God and has unfolded the creator-love which is effective in the animal, plants and stones.
Then he can communicate with all Being.
...
People who have inner values are also with the world of animals and plants and are not against God's creations. The
one who is against his neighbour will fight against him and kill him. And the one who is against his neighbour will
not be for other forms of life - neither for the life of animals nor of plants or stones.
...
The one who is against the life in Me, the Christ, hungers and thirsts for success, wealth, power and prestige. He
kills animals and consumes their flesh for his feasts and for the lusts of his palate. Thus, he demonstrates that
he is far from God.
...
Animal sacrifices, too, are an abomination before God, the Eternal. He does not want animals to be sacrificed or
consecrated to Him. God has given life to all forms of Being and thus to animals as well. Why should they be
sacrificed to Him, since He Himself, the life, dwells in them?
...
And the one who devotes himself to the eternal Father-Mother-God, by transforming his humanness into the divine,
will not slaughter animals or consume their flesh, nor will he kill any animal deliberately. Such people will also
treat the plant world with selfless love, as this, too, is a gift of creation from God to His human children. The
plants and the fruits of the field and forest give themselves willingly to man and want to serve him as nourishment
and as remedy for his sick body.
...
Recognize furthermore: The suffering of animals and the consumed flesh of the animals that have been killed
deliberately gnaw, in turn, at the flesh of the person. The consequences are disease and pestilence. They are the
effects of these and similar causes.
Ch24:
The one who torments and ill-treats people and animals will one day experience torment and ill-treatment on his own
body. The same applies to the offences against the plant and mineral kingdoms. For what is manifest in matter as a
form of life also exists in the soul as spirit-substance. Therefore, the one who violates life passes judgement on
himself, because he burdens a part of his spiritual heritage. For everything that comes from God also exists as
essence in the soul of man.
...
God, the Eternal, gave man the animals and plants and granted him fruits, vegetables and grain from the earth. He
gave these to man and said, "Make the earth subject to you”, which means in its correct implication: Respect and
care for the life in all living forms, and they will serve you.
Recognize: The pure forms of life of the animals are created by God, and each plant belongs to God, the great
potential of creation, which continues to develop in the evolutionary cycle. Thus, every form of life is a part of
the great whole.
Man is commanded by God to treasure and love life and to keep the commandment "pray and work”. For this reason, the
life of the so-called idlers is a waste of the energies of the day. They are people who steal God's energy. The
person who does not use the day, but only abuses it in order to exploit his fellow man or to do violence to animals
and plants, acts against the law of life.
People who think only of their own welfare will torment the animals and exploit the earth and poison the life on
it, because their thoughts are poisoned by greed and envy. For people who do not know themselves torment people and
animals and are against nature. They do solely what their egoistic thinking compels them to do. They themselves are
driven and therefore want to drive away everything which is around them, because everything which does not fit
their conceptions disturbs them. Their human ego makes such people act as if they were of unsound mind.
...
The whip symbolizes the law of cause and effect. The one who despises and tortures his neighbours and his second
neighbours as well, the one who commits violence and cruelty against man and animal, against plants and minerals
and against other forms of life in and on the earth will experience the effects of his causes - unless he repents
in time.
Like a whip, the law of cause and effect will lash all those who have ill-treated and ill-treat life - in whatever
form and in whatever state of consciousness it appears. The earth was given to men, so that they would become
conscious again that they are children of God, that their life - as all life - is from God, so that they learn to
cherish and love life
Ch.31:
And so, illnesses and epidemics are due to wrong sensations, thoughts, words and deeds, and also to wrong nutrition
and the eating of animals.
...
The excesses of the people were manifold. The peoples of the old, sinful world degenerated more and more. Just as
in the time of Noah, they seduced and let themselves be seduced. They were gluttonous and drank strong drinks. They
killed animals and consumed them. They violated the plant and animal kingdoms. This continued all over the earth,
after My life on earth as well.
In the turn from the sinful era to the New Era [1989], they manipulated the plants, animals and human beings and
did gene-experiments on them. They created so-called test-tube babies. They destroyed nature with nuclear tests and
constructed nuclear reactors to produce energy. They polluted the rivers, lakes and seas with chemical substances
and caused the death of earthly life in great stretches of water.
...
As Jesus of Nazareth, I spoke to many people about the law of life as well as about the animals which, like human
beings, feel pain, grief and joy. Just as man should not be against, but for his neighbour, so should he also be
for the animals and bear responsibility for them, because they serve man.
I taught people again and again that the animals, too, are creatures of God, which man should not disregard, but
should love. The one who beats and tortures them will one day experience the same or similar thing on his soul and
on his body. For, what a man does to his fellow men and his fellow creatures, the animals, he does to himself.
Many people recognized their callousness and began to actualize My teachings. They repented and accepted the
animals as their friends. And so, many a one understood My words and followed Me.
Ch32:
People in the Spirit of the Eternal know that the substance of life - which maintains the health of the body of
man, its fleshy substance and blood - is in the fruits of the field and of the forest, but not in animals that are
killed and consumed, for meat is dead food. Man should neither kill people nor deliberately kill or slaughter
animals for consumption; for, as creatures of God, they are his "second neighbour”.
...
Men and animals developed very gradually on this earth. In the garden of God, both man and animal subsisted on
plants. When man fell ever deeper into sin, he thereby fell into the darkness of ignorance and lapsed into
selfishness. Just as the coarse-material became ever denser, so did man's senses become coarser and with this, his
organs, too, changed very gradually.
In his selfishness, man sought all kinds of pleasures and began to crave the spicy, the sour and the animal. The
hard shell, the human ego, the coarse senses, gave rise to sensuality, which sought gratification. With this,
people tried to compensate for the life force which they wasted unlawfully.
The sensualist, whose thoughts became more and more self-centred, was driven to food which corresponded to his way
of thinking and acting. Because he distanced himself from God more and more, he became harsher in his speaking and
acting. The coarsened senses reflected the harshness of the human ego and, for this reason, sought correspondingly
pungent spices and foods. When man failed in something, he reacted bitterly and his senses sought gratification in
ever new pleasures. The cramped nerves of man sought relaxation in sensuality.
The body demanded more and more of what man radiated in his sensations, thoughts, words and actions: sweet and
sour, spicy and passionate. This is why he began to change the substances of nature, by dressing them more and more
in the sour, the spicy and the sweet.
The result of all this was that man began to hunt animals, killed them and seasoned and consumed their flesh.
Through this, man became a hunter and a poacher. In his sensuality which was growing stronger and stronger he
craved the "carnal”, the male or the female sex.
...
Ch.33:
Animal sacrifices are against the law of God and also against the Ten Commandments.
Ch.34:
Even if a person deliberately and knowingly allows that people and animals be tortured, neglected and ill-treated,
he will experience the same or something similar.
Ch.38:
Recognize that the one who hunts animals will himself be hunted one day. The one who torments animals will himself
be tormented one day. The one who exploits the life of the earth will become the victim of those who taught him to
do this.
...
The one who consumes the flesh of animals, who pollutes and violates nature is impure. Such people can neither deal
with holy matters nor experience the so-called "mysteries” of the heavens, nor even teach or explain the law of the
heavens.
...
The one who loves his neighbour selflessly will neither do violence to him, nor kill him. And the one who loves his
neighbour selflessly will not deliberately kill animals either. The one who respects man and animal has no warlike
designs, because he respects the laws of God to which belong the laws of nature, too. The one who strives to
actualize the laws of God will refrain from eating meat more and more and will gratefully accept the gifts of the
earth, that is, that food which comes from God for His human children.
...
Recognize that what you do to the animals, you do to Me, the Christ, and to yourselves as well. The torments and
suffering of the animals will one day be your torments and suffering. God, the Eternal, has also given the animals
into the hands of man - however, not that he torment them, but that he live with them. Man should be f o r the
animal, and then the animal is also f o r man. Then it will also serve him joyfully.
If an animal has to suffer much because of an accident or because of its age, then man should release the spiritual
life of the animal, the part-soul or the part-ray, from the earthly body quickly, while inflicting little pain, and
should give it over in love and mercy into the hands of the eternal Creator. He, the great All-One, knows each
animal. He has created it and lives as power in the part-soul or in the part-ray. The part-soul or the part-ray of
the animal is the unfolded powers of consciousness of the All-Spirit, which have become spiritual form.7
Ch.41:
This is the same as slave trade. And the one who makes money from his second neighbour, the animal, is not much
better than the one who gives away his neighbour, no matter for what reason.
Our fellow creatures, the animals, are the weaker ones because of their state of spiritual consciousness, since
they do not yet have the developed soul-potential of a filiation-soul, like, for example, the soul in a human
being. This is why man should offer protection to the animals and live with them, his fellow creatures, and neither
reject them nor make a profit from them.
Ch.46:
What people, animals, yes, all of nature had to endure because of man, then comes up in images in the soul of the
originator. The soul experiences in its own spirit body the grief, the pain and the anguish - all that it
inflicted, as a human being, on people, animals, plants, stones and minerals. This is then the fire, the purging of
the soul.
The stubborn and unreasonable ones "will descend” means that they will go into incarnations which are poor in light
and, alternating between being born and dying, will expiate what they have caused. This may take not only one aeon
but many aeons. Aeons can also be described as cosmic light cycles.
Ch.47:
"But when they kill only to put an end to the suffering which cannot be healed, they are not guilty, if they do it
quickly and in love” holds true only for the animal world.
...
In the present time [1989], many animals suffer because of the results of technology and because of agonizing
animal experiments. So examine the reason why you kill animals. Here, too, the law is valid: What man sows he will
reap, in his behaviour towards people as well as towards animals and nature.
Ch.51:
Fear and dread seizes every animal of the field, every bird of the air and every fish in the water which falls into
your hands. This means the hands of those people who disregard and kill life.
Recognize that every animal senses and feels what a person intends to do with it.
In the turn of time when I explain, correct and deepen the contents of that book [1989], brutality against the
animal world and the plant world has reached unimaginable proportions. The animals and the plants suffer from man's
capriciousness. Many people not only lack respect for their own life, but also for the entire creation. As a result
of human behaviour, the magnetic currents, for example, have been disturbed. Because of this, many animals lack
orientation, especially the migratory birds which fly into warmer countries. Many animal and plant species - in the
water, in the air and on earth - are becoming extinct, because of the pollution of the rivers, lakes and oceans, as
well as of the earth's atmosphere.
Ch.75:
I instructed My own that man should not wilfully kill an animal nor should he consume the meat of animals which
were killed for the consumption of their meat. However, when people who are still unknowing have prepared meat as
nourishment and make of it a gift to the guest, offering it with the meal, then the guest should not reject the
gift. For there is a difference whether a person consumes meat because he craves for meat or as a token of
gratitude to the host for his effort.
However, when it is possible for him and outer circumstances and time permit, the knowing person should give
general indications to the host, but should not want to set him right. When the time is ripe, the host, too, will
understand these general indications.
In this world, understanding and tolerance, too, are aspects of selfless love. Leave to each person his free will
whether or not he wants to understand and accept your general indications. If you always think, speak and act
selflessly, you abide in love and love will bless you. What is then offered to you, as a gift of love, is blessed.
...
The life in God includes not only one's neighbour, but also all other forms of life like animals, plants, minerals
and stones; for all Being bears the life, God. The one who is in unity with life neither kills animals nor destroys
plants wilfully. He also respects the life - the powers of consciousness - of the minerals and stones.
Ch.80:
You people in all generations, keep the following in mind, "What happens to the animal happens also to the sons of
men.”
What man does to the animals he does to himself. For the life, God, is in all forms of life; God did not give man
the right to put himself above the animal. He gave him the commandment to love life, regardless of the form in
which it manifests itself.
Ch.91:
In My community, animals shall be neither slaughtered nor eaten. If one or another is in the process of changing
from eating meat to eating lawful food and now and then still feels the need for meat, then he should partake of it
- outside of the community. However, this is valid just for eating meat, not for taking strong drinks.*
The one whose senses no longer crave meat lives the law "You shall not kill”. He will not eat his second neighbour,
the animal. The one whose senses are still dulled is requested to let go of this.
In My community, there shall be neither strong drinks nor the meat of animals.
Teach the children not to hunt innocent creatures, the animals, and not to deliberately crush them underfoot. For
the one who hunts the innocent creatures will be hunted by his senses and by all those who influence his senses.
The one who deliberately crushes underfoot, torments or kills animals will be tormented by his senses and his
thoughts and will vegetate as a spiritually dead person among the living, and in the realm of the souls, too, he
will be spiritually dead.
