General/ Veganism

An expansion of our hearts….

To wake up through the eyes of a vegan on a carnivore everyday society, world, dimension, makes you wonder..
What is it that makes it difficult to those, who do not embrace the aspect of compassion towards the animals, to understand and honor this path!?
What is it that separates us from them and them from us?
What is it that makes us different from them and them different from us?

Nothing…

Absolutely nothing..

It is only a perception.
To our eyes people who do not honor every living being on this planet are called to answer to such names as cruel, hostile, non human, insensitive and the list can be endless.
However, even through the eyes of a vegan, does feeling compassion for our fellow creatures not mean feeling compassion also for those who dare not to change, reflect, look within deeper, awake, shift, become more aware…in multiple levels?
This questions arose to pose to my own self, after a conversation i had with a student of mine…
Confronting nobly as possible the obvious reasons of why becoming a vegan, or not ….his respond brought silence to my lips…
Always i thought that, we as human beings, intellects and mature, multi-taskers and achievers stand stronger, as the beings who have billions of choices, where on the contrary, everything else existing, subsides under us, in the chain of food…yet… i had completely neglected the fact that we, the achievers, inventors, entrepreneurs….actually kill and consume each other in so many ways through out our lives, and all in the name of survival and existence…..simply because…that’s just how life is.
My student’s respond brought me to face that there is no respect in our universal relationships of what ever kind…
Yet, have no meat, or dairy, or anything that once had a heart pulse and vibration makes me a better and a more aware person…?
Reflection……..
This is not a fairytale…as this is our life…
Expanding our hearts to show compassion to EVERY LIVING BEING, means embracing thy neighbor as well, homeless or not, clever or not, thy being of any race or social level, even the one who loves to smudge upon chicken bones or snails….
Expanding our hearts means not to give in to any way that stands dishonorable to our core beliefs..
Expanding our hearts means not to applause those who live a kind of life that appeals not to our standards…
Expanding our hearts means not to give up lecturing and sharing world-widely our passion for veganism…
Expanding our hearts means to just switch to different ways of communication and approach..and be the role model…
Expanding our hearts means to love all, including those who see the nutritious path from a whole changed angle than ours…yet intrige them to a further inquiry.
Expanding our hearts creates more options and possibilities to the whole world for a better tomorrow, a greater ability to understand and connect and co -exist with no war or survival casualties…
Expanding our hearts means awakening to a higher level of awareness and oneness, as we are all one breath, one heart beat, one pulse, special, unique…we are all one…
Expanding our hearts means to practice the virtue of compassion and understanding for everybody…
…this life is just a school cycle.. Some are here to learn the factor of cruelty, compassion, understanding, love, forgiveness… and many more…
Who knows what are we here to learn?
Expanding our hearts will help us realize miracles for our selves…….and others….as the best is yet to come…..

Embracing life to the fullest..
Bathing in universal love…
Accepting and Sharing abundance and prosperity….
Sliding on spirit’s rainbow of miracles and wonders…..
Evolving from a bud to a full lotus……
Thousand petal-flower…Billions of lifetimes for us…
Graduating…so as to become one ….WITH ALL..
A childlike heart,
