They Look Everywhere Except Within -- Mystic Poetry of Sant Namdev

"What shall I do? The world sees yet is blind --

It has forsaken bliss and runs after earthly pursuits.

It idolizes stones and slaughters divine beings,

Adores and worships that which has no life!

The living are sacrificed at the altar of the lifeless --

The world sees yet continues to waste precious life.

"The Beloved is within the courtyard

But they worship him outside!

They worship stone

And get caught in duality.

Says Namdev, wake up, you fools --

Worship the Lord in spirit, not these stones!"

(Hindi Padavali of Sant Namdev, poem 47)

The John the Baptist Vegetarian Podcast: https://youtu.be/rBM34Cm4laE
The mention of John the Baptist eating "locusts" in the New Testament originally referred to locust beans, also known as carob beans....not bugs. Some describe "Saint John's bread" or "manna bread" as being made of locust bean flour, also known as carob flour, turned into a kind of Middle-eastern flat bread.

Tell Johns Hopkins to stop abusing barn owls for “ADD research”

This MONSTER is literally torturing barn owls and then KILLING THEM and taxpayers are paying for it!

He claims this will somehow help explain attention deficit disorder in humans yet he has admitted on the record that his results are likely to be scientifically useless (not surprising since a bird isn't a human!).

Johns Hopkins has blood on their hands and this hideous person should be punished for severe, unconscionable animal cruelty.

y'know how, like, there's cannibals and human human-baby eaters?
in a sense, perhaps, from some points of view, if they eat those, by happenstance, along with meats from many other species, then, they're less speciesist, less primally species-supreamacist, than those of us who exclude eating our fellow humans, but eat the meat of other species.

however, if they only eat us (and not the meat of other species), then, first instinct i have is that's worse, but it's soon followed up by being able to see how it can be seen as the greater virtue, ... disturbing a notion as that is to confront. (and of course, one has to have some large blinkers on, to see it like that, like setting aside some important evolved emotional and ethical inteligences/aptitudes/senses)

and half way through typing that, i remembered mike wozniak on taskmaster mentioning prawns are cannibals, which made me feel better about all the many of them i've eaten, as my favourite meat (perhaps even my favourite food), as it's like i'm not doing anything they don't do to themselves. but then, i don't know them all individually. maybe it's like the cannibals among the human population, seen from affar, some other species nomming down loads of humans with a comforted magnanimous impunity, in that, "i'm not doing anything they don't do to themselves".

fits with the whole balancing acts among
do unto others as you would have them do unto you
do unto others as they wish done to them
do unto othes as is best for them
do unto others as is best for all
and so on.

oh, and also, one of the thoughts i had at the start, intended for this piece, is...

how young are the animals when they're slaughtered for your dinner plate? for example, a lot of those sheep and hens are but young lambs and chickens.
if you eat those... then you eat babies too.

and then plants... do you eat cress and sprouts and so on? plants have feeling senses too... i imagine they can sense when their babies are being eaten, with their well evolved aromatic chemical communication systems and electro sensing and so on.
