The observer is the observed my friend.

Meditation can assist us in contemplating our biases, which can lead us to address them. One of the most blatant and violent biases we are indoctrinated into is speciesism. We say we care about and love *_«animals»,_* and we mean it, but our behavior shows us something different: it shows us caring about and loving *_«what we can take out of them»,_* disregarding their life, bodily integrity and freedom. Speciesism is a set of prejudices, a belief system, a group of dogmas, (similar to racism, or sexism) that assists us into maintaining the illusion that *_«animals which are not from the human species are worthless and useless, unless we humans think of them as pricey and useful»._* Speciesism is a big one. That's why it needs a lot of self-deception to pass inadverted. But speciesism is so blatant... Animal slavery, animal exploitation and the animal holocaust are just in front of our eyes. We have been just trained to dismiss it as normal. Check your radar. Some people advocate that animals ought to be defended by rights, just as us, human animals. Do animals deserve the right to vote? We might get a better set of politicians... By Animal Rights we are referring only to *one* right: the right, for any *_«individual»,_* regardless of species, to not be the property of another, to not be enslaved. That simple. It not only suits humans, but any sentient being. Any sentient beings deserves to be protected from the excessive freedom of other individuals. With our power, we engaged into commodifying sentient beings. With our power, we can stop engaging in these behaviors. With our power, we can restore the condition of other animals from an *_«object with life»_* to a *_«subject of a life»._* Vegans don't use any individual as a resource or commodity for food, clothing, entertainment, work, or for any other human purpose. Vegans think that animals exist and are here for their own purposes. As you. As me. It happens that we were just told the opposite by those who we trusted the most. Veganism is Animal Rights put into practice, set into action. Either we are vegan, or we remain nonvegan, mentally and physically engaging in the systematic enslavement and exploitation imposed on other individuals, for our own pleasure and convenience. There's no third choice for the one 🍀

How to develop and cultivate empathy for animals while in between meditations: Imagine being born as a sentient being from a species different from human. With other abilities, with other concerns, with another identity. See yourself interacting with what surrounds you. Feel the interest in what gives you pleasure. See the fear towards what surprises you. See your innocence in front of the human presence in this world. See yourself being trapped by them. You are an enslaved animal now. What's the purpose of your enslavement? Are you in a zoo? Being used as a clown, so other animals in tuxedos can laugh at you? You don't really understand what's going on around you, but you cannot go where you want. You cannot be who you are. You are given some food whenever you make what they expect you to do. You are capable of understanding this. You have learned to respond to get the food that you want. You are not allowed to underperform, or to not perform. This is a business. It is said that human infants are told that you love your owner. And that's why adults belief that too. Does your enslaver love you? Or does your enslaver love whatever s/he can take out of you? Or maybe you are in a farm. An organic, familiar farm? An industrial, unmodernized factory farm? It's the same, you are enslaved. It only changes the colour palette in front of you, and the amount of suffering you are forced to endure. You are a slave. And some people amongst those humans are claiming that you should never be enslaved. These are called ARAs, Animal Rights Advocates, and are vegan. And some other claim that the problem is not that you are a property, but the tones of red in the color palette, absolutely neglecting, disregarding and ignoring the slavery part. These are called welfarists, and are well intended, though. But you don't understand what slavery is. You only know that something is forcing or guiding you. You cannot be the one who you are. You are forced to be a something. Now, time to see yourself from the outside. The (economic) value of your experience of life, your body and your effort is decided by your owner. You can be sold, harmed, confined and terminated if that is what suits your owner. You don't understand what an owner is. They just feed you, and you are grateful when this happens. Then they trick you, and you find yourself in line, standing on a wet floor in a noisy slaughterhouse. There's demand outhere for your flesh, your secretions, your skin, your bones and your fluids: that's the something you are being forced to be. You, as the One, reading this and hallucinating to be dressed as an animal: - if you wanted to be yourself, and not to be continuously forced to be something else, how would you tell this to humans? - how could they understand what you are trying to say? - how could they just listen to you? - how could they pay attention to you? - if you could develop or sketch a rough religion, how would humans be depicted? - what are we, human animals, doing to other animals? - why are we still hallucinating that we own them as properties? "Part" of Oneness is trying hard. Please, go consciously vegan. I acknowledge the power of these words. I acknowledge the opening power of your minds and hearts. Thank you for your attention. Time for another ego-death... ✨🙏🏻✨

Veganism leads to malnourishment as well as ingesting poisons by eating the pesticides used in planting whatever crop on already infertile ground. And also, ALL life is trying to survive not just humans and animals, but plants also. There really is no way around it.

Hi @@Cegorachthelaughinggod, Thank you for your comment. I acknowledge that the media have been portraying a diet which excludes all animal products as something dangerous. Those who sell animal products are interested in us thinking this way. But it's not. With a bit of knowledge and planning one can be healthy and enjoy eating plants. However, veganism is not just about eating plants. Veganism is about the rejection of animal slavery, because we acknowledge that animals don't belong to humans, and never did. It was us who decided their lives, bodies and effort was our property. This entitlement is called speciesism, a belief structure similar to racism. Animal Rights are the continuation of Human Rights movement, expanding to include all sentient beings, regardless of race, sex and species. Hope this helps. Much love 🍀

.......going to meditation unfortunately creates a seperate 'I'... 😡 ... become meditation...

They laugh about the change in themselves and change in relationships...... This is NOT easy...... It's a twist in the path all on its own ....most unconscious people do NOT like change.

Nobody likes it because... it scare us. And is a chance life gives us rarely... or at least the chance to take that hand to a brand new life so, even wise wise wise people are scared, but laughing is a sure way to the light also.

It definitely can be hard, especially if there were many unhealthy attachments in your life before an awakening. Once you see the other side you know that none of those things can stay in your life, and it becomes an intense purification journey for a lot of people. But people can learn to like change if they live with it and constantly accept the flow, especially if they see a positive change caused by their surrender. That's inspiring, and you learn to love change very fast.

I am happy; I am sad; I am medatiting... ...sorry,........🤬
