Unforgettable Love Story

I received this as a comment in my post Brutal Killings and Acts of Unspeakable Horror…

Holly

“Lately I’ve been very emotionally troubled and depressed about all the horrible violence that goes on in our world, not just humans hurting other humans, but humans hurting animals too. I am a huge animal lover and recently have seen some horrible videos about the treatment of cows in slaughterhouses, and even worse, the fur trade in China where animals including dogs and cats are often skinned alive. What I have seen is too horrific for words and beyond my comprehension. Now I read, in Canada the baby seal hunt is going to start in less than a month and over 300k will be bludgeoned to death at 3 months of age. It breaks my heart to know how many helpless animals are suffering in this way every second of the day. I can’t get these images and thoughts out of my head and is affecting me terribly. How can God let this happen? Why is our world so evil and violent? I don’t want to be in a world like this, but there’s no escape and I feel helpless. I can’t help these animals being tortured and killed in China every day. I can’t save 300k baby seals. I can pray and sign petitions, but it still all feels in vain. I guess I am mainly concerned about animals because they are helpless and have no voice, although the amount of pain inflicted on humans by other humans is horrendous too. Why does this all have to happen? Why doesn’t God intervene instead of allowing all this suffering to simply prove a point of some sort or make us learn a lesson? I am to the point where I am angry with God over this. I just don’t understand and I feel so lost. If anyone can help give me peace of mind in some way I would appreciate it. Thanks.”

Dear Holly, thank you for your questions and for letting me post my response in a blog such as this. Many people think and feel the way you do. I used to think and feel this way too. At times my answers here in this blog may seem harsh. I do not mean to offend you or others. I do mean to wake people up and motivate them to make a greater commitment to their own healing process. We are ALL responsible for the state our world is in. And it will take more than a few people to solve issues as big as these you are mentioning and the many others that plague our world today. There is no way we can get the masses of people to all change without a large base of leaders who we can rely upon to take up the work necessary with integrity, wisdom and courage. Hopefully everyone who reads this will take it as a wakeup call from someone who loves life, loves humanity, loves the animals and the planet we live on, and loves all of God’s creation.

“Lately I’ve been very emotionally troubled and depressed about all the horrible violence that goes on in our world, not just humans hurting other humans, but humans hurting animals too.”

Yes it is quite a horrific state of affairs, isn’t it?

“I am a huge animal lover and recently have seen some horrible videos about the treatment of cows in slaughterhouses, and even worse, the fur trade in China where animals including dogs and cats are often skinned alive. What I have seen is too horrific for words and beyond my comprehension.

YES YOU CAN get these images and thoughts out of your head. Stop telling yourself and others that you cannot. To do so you will need to stop looking at the videos and stop reading the bulletins about it these horrible events. Find something else to think about when these images and thoughts come to you. Practice other thoughts. View other more loving images. Look for examples of people who are helping others and healing
humanity. Look at the happiness that is being created by such people. Read books about the lives of masters and those who have conquered themselves, created fantastic miracles, and healed many people. Watch movies that inspire and uplift you. Go love your family and your animals. All of these things will change your focus and get these thoughts and images your of your head.

For book recommendations see the end of this blog post about Self Healing.

For movie recommendations see the end of this blog post The Golden Compass – A Waste of Mind.

But then we come to the real problem. You don’t want to get the images and thoughts out of your head. You want to look at them and you want a solution. You want people to change because they should and it is right and they are stupid and doing horrible things. But this is not going to happen just because you want it to. It will take much more effort than that, much more power, much more energy.

We can fix this problem and ALL of the other horrible problems we face in the world. But it will take real leadership. It will take many people with real power, real wisdom…it will take people who have mastered themselves, mastered their own lives. Are you that person? You can be and that is where the real work begins. Until that happens, follow my first suggestion. Balance your life. Save the ones you can, but focus mostly on things that inspire and uplift you, and heal yourself so you can be a real leader one day.

You mentioned that this is affecting you terribly. Yes it is, and this is a VERY BIG problem for you. This will make you sick. This can lead to very real diseases such as cancer, heart attacks, and Alzheimer’s disease. So you must change your tactics. Merely complaining about the problem will not make the problem go away nor will it help your health or inner peace.

“How can God let this happen?”

Because God is pretending to be all of us people who are pretending to be powerless. God as you and I and all of the others on this planet is in denial. If you wake up to the fact that you are indeed God and you help others wake up to this fact, then you stand a very real chance of regaining your power and becoming the kind of leader that can make a difference.

“Why is our world so evil and violent?”

The world is evil and violent because we used our Godly powers to create the violence and the evil in the world. Every time we see someone do something we don’t like and we judge them we contribute to this creation we call evil. Every time we punished someone we create more evil and violence. Every time we do these things and insist we must punish, every time we insist upon creating laws to judge and punish, we teach others that this is necessary. Over time we have created a lot of evil by this very process. And we get real angry when someone comes along and tells us we need to love those we are judging instead. In fact we have even been known to crucify them for speaking out like that. We are doing this to ourselves!

“I don’t want to be in a world like this, but there’s no escape and I feel helpless.”

You are right. There is NO ESCAPE from your creations. WE ALL created this mess and now WE ALL need to deal with it. You can clean up your world. You can live in total peace on earth while all of this goes on around you and just ignore the rest of it knowing that this world is an illusion, because in reality it is. You can even get to the point where you merge so completely with God that you graduate from this planet and do nothing to prevent things like this from happening. I do realize that masters such as this do influence others who may just go on to do the work that is necessary. I am not judging this situation. I am just saying it is possible.

“I can’t help these animals being tortured and killed in China every day. I can’t save 300k baby seals. I can pray and sign petitions, but it still all feels in vain. I guess I am mainly concerned about animals because they are helpless and have no voice, although the amount of pain inflicted on humans by other humans is horrendous too.”

Everyone is free to create as they wish, even if they chose to create evil. It is after all an illusion. At some point in time each of us will wake up to this fact and we will be perfectly whole and complete and suffer no damage as a result of our actions within this illusion. We cannot take this away from others. But we can remove ourselves from it if we chose.

“Why does this all have to happen?”

All of this happens because too many people are way too lost in life and don’t understand life. There is too much poverty, they suffered too much abuse as a child, our governments lead us to commit harsh acts to punish offenders without any effort to reform and transform them, because religions have spread too much false information about life and how it all works, because we are brainwashed into loving money instead of loving life, etc…There are MANY reasons.

These people who torture and kill unnecessarily will suffer as a result of what they do. It cannot be any other way because we are all One, what we do to others, including the animals and the planet itself, we do to ourselves. These events that are occurring now are a result of the things we have created in the past. I have heard many “nice” people adamantly deny that they ever committed any sort of evil such as the evils they are horrified by. But I have my doubts; especially since these people really don’t understand how life works so how is it they know they have never done such a thing? It seems to me to be a convenient position to take in order to justify their continual judgment of others. We are living in the world we have created. Most people, if not ALL people, have committed some sort of atrocity in their eternal lives.

“Why doesn’t God intervene instead of allowing all this suffering to simply prove a point of some sort or make us learn a lesson?”

This is not about God proving a point. This is about cause and effect. We all chose to enter into manifest creation in order to experience and understand who we really are. While doing so we created it a certain way and now we are living in our creation. If we want it to be different we can create it differently. If we are really and truly done with manifest creation we can complete our experiences here and depart never to return.

“I am to the point where I am angry with God over this.”

Being angry at God is in reality being angry at yourself.

“I just don’t understand and I feel so lost. If anyone can help give me peace of mind in some way I would appreciate it. Thanks.”

If you really want to understand then you will have to put forth the effort to understand. There have been masters walking the planet for as far back as history goes. They have always pointed the way. Religions have clouded their wisdom with their distortions, worship, and superstitions. So by and large most people really don’t believe mastery is possible for the average person.

These masters have not asked for or required people to worship them, but they have asked us all to try out a new approach to life. Most people don’t even try, they insist that they are fine, they insist that it is impossible to understand life, that nobody understands it, or that the master is special in some way, they don’t believe, they disagree, bla bla bla. Sorry to sound so cynical, but if this is NOT you I am describing then you have an advantage, and if this is you then you probably have much more suffering to do before you decide to change and understand.
SOLUTIONS

We really could focus ourselves and fix this one problem. We could force people worldwide to treat animals better. We could create police forces to ensure it. We could create prison terms for abusers. But the dysfunction would express itself in another way and there are already so many more problems that need fixing as well.

Really, it would be much easier if we tackle ALL of the other horrible problems we face in the world at the same time and come up with a very real solution. We need to deal with the root of the problem. But it will take real leadership. It will take many people with real power, real wisdom…it will take people who have mastered themselves, mastered their own lives. Are you that person? You can be; that is where the real work begins.

I have suggested the path to healing this planet in my blogs:

*Healing the World Using Law of Attraction
*International World Government
*A Beautiful Vision for Re-architecting Our World
*Crime and Punishment…Both are Insane!

The World Transformation Radio Talk Show is meant to help this process along but not enough people are participating in it yet. That will come in time. But if you are serious about making these sorts of changes on the planet then get involved. Heal yourself. Become a leader. Help work out the details of how we will make all of these systems come together.

For healing yourself, becoming a master, becoming a leader read the blog post Self Healing Guide – From Misery to Bliss.

PLEASE TELL OTHERS ABOUT my blogs and my radio show…let’s work together to raise awareness of how to solve these worldwide problems.
