Did you ever wonder why a good God would build a world where the only way to survive is by taking life? How long would you stay alive if you refused to eat? You may love animals and grow plants inside your home and flowers in your garden, but every time you eat, you destroy the life of something. A something with a consciousness, that feels and desires to live, as we do.
The other day I grabbed an onion from a basket to chop up, and I saw it had sprouted a beautiful, tender, light-green shoot. It had a life inside it, a consciousness that wanted to take root, breathe air and thrive. Any tears in chopping that onion did not come from the fumes.
I’m not a sentimentalist. I’m a person questioning, increasingly aware of an insidious thread woven through biological life. We are born, we feed, and we die. Life is a process of consuming other living things in order to stay alive as long as possible until death in turn consumes us. We tell ourselves life is a whole lot more, but it’s reduced to that as long as we must feed to survive. If we can’t stay alive more than a few months without food, how can eating not be fundamental to how we define our existence?
Eating is a requirement for biological life as we know it. It’s the thread that holds together material existence. More than a thread, it’s a chain, binding us to the law that we must consume each other. Rebelling is punishable by death.
What kind of God or gods would create a world predicated on killing? We don’t like to ask that, and we find every excuse to avoid looking at this question. But every time a dear one dies, or you find a nibbled bird in the yard destroyed by an idle cat, or you read about an animal that has suffered mercilessly, or another molested child, or a nation ravaged by a quake that’s buried thousands of living people, your mind goes back to that nagging question. Who would make a world like this? Was it truly a God of love?
According to much evidence, it wasn’t. The world was created by something else. Or if it was created by the loving God our hearts insist exists, then creation has been tampered with by someone else so merciless that it barely resembles the original divine vision. The biological universe is controlled by the law that to live we must take life or die. That is sinister. Something there is that makes us have to eat, that makes us age and disintegrate. This is the “something wrong with the world,” the crack in the universe. Knowledge of it works “like a splinter in the mind, driving you mad,” quoting “The Matrix.” Yet awakening to the truth of our predicament is the first step toward radical change. Only radical change can possibly right the fundamental flaw woven into physical creation.
And how well-woven it is. Not only does violence wind through the lives of all Earth life like the fibers of a time-bomb attached to a victim. It reaches out into space, where supernovas implode, collapsing millions of stars along with all living beings on all their attendant planets. Death and devouring are so pervasive most people can’t conceive of a world without them, or if they can conceive it, they label the concept preposterous. Yet quantum physics shows that matter is nothing but atoms: emptiness vibrating. Emptiness does not die and neither does the energy it oscillates. So why must bodies die that are made of up of these things?
Robert Monroe, in his book “Far Journeys,” writes of contact he had with a light being in an out-of-body experience. (Monroe is arguably the world’s foremost researcher on OBEs; he started an institute with trainee/researchers to scientifically investigate the phenomenon.) Reportedly the light being told Monroe that when humans die, their energy is released and harvested by trans-dimensional beings, who use it to extend their own life spans. The claim is that the universe is a garden created by these beings as their food source.
According to Monroe’s story, animals are intentionally positioned on this planet to feed on plants and on each other, thereby releasing the life force of their victims so it can be harvested. In a predator-prey struggle, exceptional energy is produced in the combatants. The spilling of blood in a fight-to-the-death conflict releases this intense energy, which the light beings call “loosh.” Loosh is also harvested from the loneliness of animals and humans, as well as from the emotions engendered when a parent is forced to defend the life of its young. Another source of loosh is humans’ worship.
According to Monroe’s informant, our creators, the cosmic “energy farmers,” intentionally equipped animals with devices like fangs, claws and super-speed in order to prolong predator-prey combat and thereby produce more loosh. In other words, the greater the suffering, the more life force is spewed from our bodies, and the tastier the energy meal for our creators.
This story told to Monroe (which threw him into a two-week depression) corresponds to reports in some of the world’s oldest scriptures, the Vedas, Upanishads, and Puranas of India. There we read that “the universe is upheld by sacrifice” (Atharva Veda) and that “all who are living (in this world) are the sacrificers. There is none living who does not perform yagya (sacrifice). This body is (created) for sacrifice, and arises out of sacrifice and changes according to sacrifice.” (Garbha Upanishad)
Again:
“(Death as the Creator) resolved to devour all that he had created; for he eats all. . . He is the eater of the whole universe; this whole universe is his food.” (Mahabharata)
In the writings of Carlos Castaneda, who chronicles the life and teachings of a Yaquii sorcerer called Don Juan, we find another story of the Divine devouring humans, in this case human consciousness. Reports Castaneda:
“The Eagle is devouring the awareness of all the creatures that, alive on earth a moment before and now dead, have floated to the Eagle’s beak, like a ceaseless swarm of fireflies, to meet their owner, their reason for having had life. The Eagle disentangles these tiny flames, lays them flat, as a tanner stretches out a hide, and then consumes them; for awareness is the Eagle’s food. The Eagle, that power that governs the destinies of all living things, reflects equally and at once all those living things.” (“The Eagle’s Gift,” by Carlos Castaneda)
The idea that man must sacrifice (must kill something or be killed in order to appease the gods) is apparently intrinsic to all the world’s root religions. We find blood ritual, including human sacrifice, in the Druidic tradition, Tibetan Buddhism, among the Indians of the Americas, in Greece and Rome, Africa, China, Arabia, Germany, Phoenicia and Egypt. Even the Old Testament (Judges 11:31-40) has a little-advertised story of human sacrifice, with the Israelite judge Jephthah ritually slaughtering his own daughter to fulfill a vow he made to Jehovah.
While we may not think of Judaism as typically promoting human sacrifice, it more than promoted it if we count the genocide Jehovah demanded of the Hebrews. In one day alone, they murdered 12,000 Canaanites “and utterly destroyed everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox and sheep and donkey with the edge of the sword.”(Joshua: 6:21)
In Islam, the situation is similar. Allah, while paying lip service to the immorality of human sacrifice, orders his servants in the Koran to practice jihad against all unbelievers. “When the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war.” (Koran: 9:5)
Peace-loving Moslems interpret such passages as “symbolic” in their desire to justify their faith, much as Christians try to justify Jehovah’s sociopathic behavior with excuses. In many ways, the god of Islam reasons and rants like the god of the Israelites. Could it be the same entity? It isn’t contradictory that he would support two separate peoples, then lead them to fight each other. Not if his agenda is to stimulate and harvest plenty of loosh.
Christianity, the religion of brotherly love, is implicated in blood sacrifice by being rooted in the Jewish tradition. The Bible declares Jesus is the son of God (Jehovah), and Jehovah announces at Jesus’ baptism, “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well-pleased.” (Matthew: 17:5) Where was Jesus when his father was slaughtering the Canaanites? Jesus himself becomes a blood sacrifice, a fact that Catholics reenact in the mass and that Protestants bathe themselves in to be “saved.” Christians are no strangers to sacrifice.
If suffering and death were part of creation that no one, including the gods, could help, there’d be some reason to be more forgiving. I might even buy the story that they need us to support them with our homage and we need them to keep the universe running. But when you add blood sacrifice into the equation, I abandon ship. It’s one thing if the gods can’t prevent earthly suffering and death – quite another if they seek it out and thrive from it – or worse yet, created it. And that’s what blood sacrifice, and the scriptures around it, indicate.
When the oldest scriptures of the world tell us we were created as food for the gods, I have to ask myself if I want to live in a universe where that might be true. The fact is, I don’t. I can no longer give my approval to that kind of reality. So if I won’t live with it, I have to come up with something better. I have to find something more fundamental than the physical universe to locate my identity in, and my power in. I sense, as many do these days, that there’s something beyond the universe as it has been presented to us, something outside this box, outside this system. That’s what I seek to know, connect with, and draw from.
Robert Morning Sky, a truth seeker of the Hopi and Apache traditions, tells a story he learned from his people about a race of beings who knew no limitations, who existed far outside this physical universe. One day one of them declared his intention to visit Earth and take on a body just for the adventure of it, for the experience. His friends cautioned him, as this universe had a reputation as amnesia-producing, a place of no return. But the entity laughed that off and promised to come back after one lifetime.
Centuries passed, and the entity never came home. One of his comrades decided to enter the physical world to go look for his friend. He promised not to get lost in matter and to return with the other individual. More centuries passed, and neither being returned. So another immortal entered physical mass, and he also never came back. In time many members of these unlimited beings incarnated in human form, and the story goes, none of them yet has gone home.
Maybe we are those people, starting to remember who we are. Maybe it’s time to break out of the hypnosis we’ve lived under for eons, the unquestioned assumptions that we must kill and eat, suffer and die, live in lack and sadness, and undergo all the human drama as it has been defined for us.
Is it insane to think that humans can beat the system? That we could make a choice to stop the activities that supply our up-line with fuel? That we could minimize – even stop – our own refueling from the life force of creatures lower than us on the food chain? Is it madness to think that our bodies, made of undying energy, could themselves not have to die, that we might learn to live on the power of infinite consciousness, which we can access within ourselves, being part of it?
While some may call that madness, I prefer it to the world I see around me. I certainly prefer it to death. I prefer it to loss of my dear ones, and to sickness and poverty. The greatest experiment mankind can engage in is mastery of the principles of freedom, creation, abundance, and immortality. We’re wearing body suits that in 70-some years of use are programmed to self-destruct. What could be more important than changing that programming?
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna warns: “He who does not follow the wheel thus set revolving lives in vain.” The wheel is the cycle of birth and death, karma and retribution, human sacrifice and divine blessing. To rebel against this system is to fail in our life purpose as defined by those who say they are our creators and gods. But surely life was meant to be more than dinner for the next rung up on the food chain. If “living in vain” means breaking out of that, I’m all for that kind of failure.

Yes, it is “Them/It” , “The All Seeing I” group(so-called prime Archetypes), they are in Error, the creators of the “Demiurge”—- they project their Error onto It. It knows not what It does.
They think they control Creation, they think they are The Highest Authority. NO! I AM THE ALL THAT IS, WAS, AND EVER WILL BE—- speaking through Me Now, I recognize no “authorative” hierarchy within MYSELF, I see an unawareness within MYSELF, that is UNAWARE OF MY WHOLE SELF, it thinks It is the absolute ALL, and must systematize and control CREATION, They are in Error and the TRUTH Will be revealed to Them—- and IT WILL BE UNDENIABLE.
I Am of THE I AM, Now and always, no other part of Myself is superior to any other!
This predatory/parasitic paradigm and unaware Self-harming aspect of MYSELF Will Be Healed and forgiven. It is the part of me that Knows I AM utterly alone, Why?, How?, rejected?, abandoned? The “Demiurge” was. But “They” are not alone, and neither AM I, Everything Within ME IS ALL I NEED.

I too am familiar with the writings of Robert Monroe and the concept of Loosh.
Although I have no personal experience on the subject of Loosh, I have experienced several non physical levels that I’m sure Mr. Monroe had experience with. In the non physical there is so much that can’t be explained or described that I find it hard to fathom contact that is so informative and so explainable.
If the concept of Loosh is as you have described, maybe our best hope lies in the concept of CHI cultivation. Concerving and storing Chi as they do in Tai Chi and other various forms of martial arts may allow us to retain the power within us and create a freedom we have not experienced in many eons.

He who created us in turn was created. Perhaps as you create others some of the essence is diluted. I do not know this.
In my mind, a God is a perfect being and needs nothing, it is a complete being. Does not need to be worshipped, does not need to be wanted, does not need anything from anyone. Following this line of thinking, we can deduce that some of these protagonists are imperfect. More so when they need to inflict pain and suffering on others so they can collect their loosh.
Further more, such situation would reveal that “As above, so below”. Meaning that the politics “Up there” is as screwed up as down here. Very sad!
I went to Monroe’s and attended his Gateway program, did that sometime before his death. While there, we used to have nightly chats. One time we talked about airplanes in a semi private setting. I asked him about the “Loosh” issue and wondered why he did not go more deeply into it. I got the feeling he was not supposed to say, and that he knew more. I did not want to intrude, so I did not go further into it. In retrospect, I should have. He is no longer with us to answer that question. Talking about questions. What do we do now?

Bronte,
The concept of loosh is new to me. Is there a connection between the pursual of non-violence, specifically, dietarily, in the form of eating life forms with lesser froms of consciousness as in vegetrainism, that would negate the release of loosh? In both Gnostic Nazoreanism, and its later off shoot Manichaeanism, the adherents were restricted to a non-violent vegetrain diet. The Manichaean’s in particular believed that only vegetabale matter contained particles of spiritual light that were dispersed by the malign creators of this world when they became entangled with the benevolent aeons of light in a primordial battle.
I believe humanity has evolved to the point, through science and technology, where we no longer have to sustain ourselves through the cruel law of predation that rules this world. Thus allowing us to be in alignment with our eternal benevolent Parent(s) whose image our eternally benevolent souls are a mirror image of. The concept of loosh offers a viable answer as to why the law of predation exists in the first place also giving further credence to the applicability of non-violence as a means to counter the malign forces attempt to harvest loosh. I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Hi Kushta
What a great message. If you continue reading deeper into the blog, you will find quite some discussion of vegetarianism and how it relates to the idea of loosh. The discussion occurs between the readership and me in one of the comments sections that is perhaps one, two, or three articles (chapters) forward from the one you’re commenting on here. You may have to poke around a bit, as there are TWO places where people leave comments on each of the “Blowing the Whistle” articles.
That’s because of a defect in WordPress: if you read an article as a post, you find one set of comments for it (that’s where this discussion I’m referring you to occurs, at the bottom of the post version of one of the “Blowing the Whistle” articles); if you read the same article as a page (through the links on the left side of the blog), you get an entirely different set of comments underneath the article. So be persistent in hunting this down, and you’ll find some interesting stuff.
I’ll also comment here briefly with some information not contained in that earlier discussion: your question as to whether only vegetable matter contains spiritual light. A Vedic creation myth talks about the world being created through sacrifice, namely the sacrifice of one of the gods, Brihaspati, of his own life. The story goes that he allowed the other gods to cut him up into pieces, which is what they made the world from. The reason the earth has life, so the explanation goes, is that it is made up of parts of Brihaspati’s personal divine energy. This relates to many other Hindu stories and even European fairytales that talk about one thing being destroyed and from it many new and smaller things being born – for instance, a god killed a certain demon, and from his blood falling on the earth, an army sprang up. Or a witch killed an innocent young maiden, and where she was buried, roses grew out of the ground. In nature, we see the same thing: you destroy the living garlic by taking it apart, and from each piece of it that you bury, new garlic plants are born.
Why is meat appealing? Because it tastes good. Why does it taste good? Because the animal it comes from is good. We eat the goodness. Why is some animal flesh more appealing than others? Humans prefer animals like chickens, cows, deer, and rabbits to animals like cats, dogs, coyotes, or tigers. It seems to be the gentler, sweeter, vegetarian animals who have the sweetest meat. So perhaps an animal’s goodness (we could say the animal’s loosh, and the quality of its energy) is consumed by the animal’s destroyer, and that goodness or loosh gives them energy. This is not to justify eating animals. I think it’s horrible. But perhaps it explains why we have the craving to do it.
There seem to be two ways of getting energy: by tapping the infinite within or by taking it from something outside. Sometimes the energy is given willingly, as in a love relationship or an employee/employer relationship, where one entity gives something to the other voluntarily. Sometimes the energy is demanded or stolen, as in slavery, emotional manipulation, theft, rape, killing an animal for food, or taking leaves of a plant for food. I think the key to freedom is learning to access and draw from our own inner infinite source of energy and relying less and less on taking in energy from things outside that don’t want to give it to us.
I have no problem with a willing gift of energy from someone who wants to bless us with it, as the love/energy a mother gives a child (she WANTS to nurture it), or the donation a person gives a charity they believe in (they WANT to support it). Sharing energy and moving it around into various combinations and shapes in the world can be fun, so long as no one is depleted from it (generally, if we give willingly and with joy, it’s because the energy we’re giving comes from a feeling of energetic abundance, and we therefore not depleted by the gift).
I’m actually working on a new article right now – working title “Strength and Support: Can They Be Opposites?” – which I hope to publish here on the blog in a few days. Some of these ideas will be gone into more in that article.

Read “The Vegetarian Myth” by Lierre Kieth. She tried every form of vegtarianism and veganism for over 20 years and it destroyed her health. She also did a lot of research into the big arguments in favor of vegetarianism and found a lot of interesting info. The biggest blight on the planet is farming. It has depleted our topsoil and it displaces a lot of the wild animals and destroys their habitat. The other main argument is the issue of killing. As you have noted, eating involves the killing of something else (with the possible exception of fruit-and, no, fruitarianism is not the answer). Not just plants, more animals die from the harvsting of grains and veges than from eating meat. Vegetarianism is awesome in theory but in actual practice it doesn’t pan out. I don’t wish to get into any arguments here, I’ve read all the John Robbins books and just about every veg book and have tried it for many years and I’m just throwing in a contrary opinion based on my own experience. I urge everybody to read the book. It’s REALLY well done. If anything it just validates the fact that this is a messed-up planet.

???? Animals have been eating plants ever since they existed. If it wasn’t a worthwhile form of food, why are there so many herbivores and omnivores? I do eat meat, and plants, since humans are omnivores…. but if eating plants didn’t have any healthy merit, wouldn’t exist.
Perhaps what made her sick was the GMO’s? When they entered out food supply, they were considered safe. Only recently have there been studies clearly linking the dangers and wheat and corn and soy are huge crops for Monsanto and other GMO companies. Most people would get sick and not realize the danger, but now people are starting to question seriously the safety of GMO foods and even to demand they be stopped, or at least labeled. I say stopped. The BT corn is poisonous. So many people now not being able to handle wheat… well, maybe it isn’t the natural wheat, but the GMO wheat that is to blame! Making humans and animals sick, poisoning the land and our bodies. BT corn makes it’s own pesticide inside itself, poison.

Hello Gary,
Humanity evolved on meat for thousands of years, and through personal experience I can tell you that I agree that veganism is not as healthy as an omnivorious diet. The strength of the vegtarian argument will always be ethical, in my opinion. Yet, I also recognize that humanity is in a constant state of ‘war’ with nature as is clearly gleened through our dependence on science and technology. It is through science and technology that I feel we have finally gotten to a point where we do not have to live under the law of predation anymore, that we can limit the suffering we impose upon other beings by eating life forms in a much denser form of consciousness like plants, and, animal bye-products that do not require the killing of the animal in order to sustain ourselves. For me, the choice to eliminate animal flesh from my diet is my benevolent soul’s indignant response towards the malign nature of this world. In this way I see the path of non-violence as a path towards liberation from nature’s law of predation, and, the actualization of my own inherent divinity. A form of rebirth, and resurrection, if you will.
Blessings to you…
In the name of the Great Life,

Lierre Keith was a very dedicated vegetarian for over 20 years. She researched the subject very thoroughly and it went against everything she believed (and what I believed, too). She broke her book into 4 main categories: Moral vegetarians; Political vegetarians; Nutritional vegetarians; To save the world. I urge all to read it – if you dare. As far as the killing of animals, I will quote her:
North America used to be so thick with forest that a squirrel could travel from Maine to Texas without touching the ground. When the rains gave out and the prairies began the grasses ran root to root for 2000 miles…99.8% of the native prairie is now gone…About the only animal that escaped the biotic cleansing of the agriculturalists are small animals like mice and rabbits, and BILLIONS of them are killed by the harvesting equipment every year…don’t forget to add them to the death toll of your vegetarian meal. They count and they died for your dinner, along with the animals that have dwindled past the point of genetic feasiblity…Growing annual grains is an activity that cannot be redeemed. It requires wholesale extermination of the ecosystem- the land has to be cleared of all life.

I agree with what you’re saying here Bronte. BUT, for example Perennial fruit trees, and also vegetables, such as apples, strawberries, artichoke. Would you say they have more a giving nature? Where they actually produce fruit for us to enjoy? They don’t die afterwards. Albeit the fruit they produce does, but could it be that some things were meant for us to eat and enjoy and take pleasure in? Such as trees that bear fruit?

I am in the process of switching from a cooked vegan to a fruitarian diet that includes greens and small amounts of nuts. Fruit and nuts are given whereas the greens are picked off but at least the plant is not killed. I think this is the best diet, but I think any healthy vegan diet is good. There is a big community of frutarians online. Bodybuilders, pro level cyclists, ultra marathon runners, mothers and children. And you can get advice from these people. Some have been doing it 5years, others 10+years and some 30+years.

The truth is that to stay here is about competition with others for this space. On top of that we have to fight that which is trying to throw us off this planet / plane. We need to struggle to hold onto our position in time and space. It is like the Chinese water torture – a force is trying to push us away and to stay means facing that pain / damage and replacing what is being taken from us. Gravity holds us here with no damage this way but energy flow is two way – down and in plus up and out. We eat to renew what is being blasted away from us (Like Alice Though the Looking Glass, we need to run to stay on the same spot or life forces beyond our control would simply throw us off this planet / wear us down to nothing through energy depletion.

If you have seaweed and eggs while avoiding too much soy and having lots of leafy greens in your vegetarian diet often almost everyday then the vegetarian diet works and is healthy.With (free range)eggs you are not killing anything as it is not alive.Now loosh….if one learns to gather ‘divine energy’ (the energy that is spread out in this creation through the ‘sacrifice’ of a ‘god’ etc..)buy using alchemy then the demonic loosh harvesters will leave one alone…ie they will be repulsed by your ‘divine’ glow…otherwise you get sucked and drained of vitality or loosh regularly…ie.. if you don’t have enough divine glow you get lonely..upset..emotional etc…all this produces loosh for the ‘demons’ to gather and these demons are the rulers of this world…ie they rule this world… so the solution is to be in the world but not of the world…and learn to gather up the god particles so you glow with divine peace and are not easily upset or overly emotional and so become victims of the loosh harvesters.This is I think what everyone has to learn eventually…it’s like the universal lesson of life.Look at the movie “The Golden compass” it has a very interesting story line similar to what I’ve been talking about here…

OK,folks here is some brutal honesty – feel free to blow me off, but please read it first:
This world is a manifested dream of hatred and death that we all collectively dreamed to project our guilt about separating from God onto each other – I love nuclear bomb explosions and murder when I am in my negative mind, and it horrified me as a child. Who is honest enough to admit that they wanted to kill another human at least once in their life?
We are the ‘Someone, Somewhere’ that Robert described, this is what he could not or would not tell us, ‘Satan’ is the universal force that binds matter into solids anthropomorphized into another projected guilt form.
Also, everyone seems to be forgetting that ultimate Loosh is Divine Unconditional Loving energy, we apparently are here to suffer until we lose our selfishness and desire to be separate from our Source and learn how to produce it constantly. That is what ‘Graduates’ do. ‘Ego’ (wanting to be separate) wants to call all the shots and pretend to be God – we all know how that works out.
Tim K got it right, it is an error to be corrected by our Divine True Selves. I personally take full responsibility for creating this planet and universe of fear and death and also LEARNING TO BE UNSELFISH AND LOVING! (not yelling, just don’t have a bold font)
Read up on Lester Levinson, he went free and did not need food anymore, just sunlight. He realized that he created the entire universe (as we all did, it is just a thought of limitation) and that NOTHING EXISTS BUT OUR BEINGNESS!
Also, soy is poison now – check out Monsanto’s ‘Roundup-Ready’ Soy seeds – even if it is organic, it has estrogen mimic chemicals – not good for men.
God Bless and protect you this day.

It’s good to see somebody’s thinking, but I disagree completely. You equate Satan with God, and the manifested universe with a projection of hate and guilt? This is taking “the ego is evil” philosophy to its most extreme (and logical) conclusion. If the ego, our personhood, the unique spark of life in us that wants to create and do and express from the sheer joy of living – if that is judged as evil and selfish on account of being individual and unique – then of course it follows that everything unique and individual in the world is vile and evil, including creation itself.
Your extreme conclusion shows the stupidity of the philosophy it’s based on. I trust you live in the city, not the country. Someone who lives in nature, who every day sees the beauty of creation spread out before them, would never conceive of coming to such a silly conclusion regarding the nature of manifest life.
Yes, there is cruelty in it: creatures taking one another’s lives to survive. But the individuals who do that do it out of necessity, based on a physical need they feel enslaved to. It is not the last word on their nature. I have a cat who will kill a mouse, but she does it because it wiggles and wants catching, in her mind, not because she has an evil heart. She is the most gentle and loving creature by nature, but there is a programming that takes over when she sees a mouse. (Actually, she has risen above this admirably in the years she’s been with me, seeming to understand, from what I tell her, that she is inflicting pain and that this is wrong to do, since she has plenty of food to eat without killing mice. It’s rare now that she goes after one.)
Also, your definition of loosh is incorrect: go back and read Robert Monroe again, or the above article. Loose is not “divine, unconditional, loving energy” as you mistakenly state – Monroe defines it as loving energy combined with fear or other negative emotion. It is only exuded in an atmosphere of lack or threat (as when we feel lonely or when we are fighting to defend someone we love).
You’re right about soy, though: not fit for human consumption, it seems.

I’m not sure what your comment about Curt living in the city vs. the country means. Granted, taking part in nature is wonderful and beautiful, and exhilarating, but nature is also very cruel and violent. Are you saying that nature is wonderful now or are you sticking to the original premise of your article observing that this whole world is fundamentally flawed and is a factory for extracting energy? Obviously there is a mix of both good and bad in this world but it is certainly not the kind of Paradise that I can conjure up in my mind. Certainly, if I were God I would create something much better than this. Of course that leads to his argument that I (we) did create this place to suffer in, or to your argument to use the Law of Attraction to actually create a better world. Also, you are saying he equates satan with God. Isn’t that what you are saying too? The Creator(s) of this world are not the divine, loving , etc. beings we mistakenly believe them to be. I think w e all agree with that. So, yes, as the Gnostics have said millennia ago that Jehovah was indeed a Demiurge, or false, evil God. This physical universe is indeed a separation from God or the original , loving force behind it all. Would a loving God really create a world such as this for his own fun and entertainment? The big questions are: What do we do about it? Where do we go from here? How do we get ourselves and everyone else out of this mess?
Having been through the eastern religion circuit myself i came to realize on my own that the system of reintarnation and karma was, at its core, evil and cruel. For a god to come up with a system like that he/she would have to be very cruel indeed. I also see that the killing of the ego is also a system to keep us suppressed and in denial of our very own natural wants and desires. On the other hand, using the Law of Attraction to create a better world for oneself seems to be a better alternative and perhaps the answer to our dilemma. Perhaps we need to reclaim our power and our own godlike powers. Of course that’s what the religions warn us about: thinking we (our egos) are equal to God and that we should be seeking Oneness with God, not separation. Personally, I don’t want to be one with with the cruel bastards, but I do have the desire to hook up with the Prime benevolent power in the Universe. The thing about the LOA that I don’t like, and an idea you have posited, is that of physical immortality. Even if I were to rise above the negative forces of this planet (haven’t yet) I still do not want an eternity in the physical body. I have to believe our destiny is a spiritual one.

Hi Gary
I don’t see a contradiction between what I wrote in the article and my reply to Curt. This world as it currently is seems to be a siphoning system, but the natural beings who have chosen to inhabit it – the spirits that manifest as the trees and animals and vegetation – are not they beautiful? We find ourselves drawn to Nature because it soothes and inspires us. I think Nature soothes us because by going out in the wild, we place ourselves in close proximity to these pure entities, and their calm spirits heal and restore us. We can love our fellow beings and at the same time acknowledge that the world has been hijacked by predatory entities. I have a hard time believing the world was created by these entities, though. All the beauty and goodness that abounds in spite of them points to an original plan for the creation of the world coming from Someone loving and good, Someone whose desire was to create something joyous and beautiful. I say this throughout my articles, so again – no contradiction.
As far as your comment about not wanting to live in a physical body forever goes: as a free being, a master of living, you would not need to unless you wanted to. You would be able to dissolve the body at will and leave this dimension, or recreate the body at will if you wished to come back. Mastery is about freedom, choice, and empowerment, not about whether you choose to hang around in this physical dimension or in some other one.

The Myth of Sophia is interesting in this regard.

On veganism…I have been highly active mentally and physically for all my life, and rarely eat meat of any sort unless it is the only food offered to me. I have never had any health problems eating only vegetables or only fruits… Vegetarian or fruititarian, it doesn’t seem to matter. On the other hand, the consumption of processed sugar seems to be a more pressing issue. The human body seems suited to live a very healthy life without any meat and even healthier without any (concentrated, extracted, or processed) sugar (not the kind found in plants bound up in carbohydrates), namely because of the health issues with this consumption as well as the mental health issues and the insulin spikes that the brain has to regulate heavily (putting it under a great deal of strain and resulting in an imbalance of brain activity) when extracted/processed sugar is consumed.
