Messages From The Animal Kingdom:
Co-Creating Heaven on Earth

Part 2 of 4.

I am Shiva, a body of energy. I do not have a physical body. I am a body of feelings, species memories, and many varieties of knowledge. But I am not densified into the 3D spectrum of vibrations. My reality is just as legitimate as you dwellers in physical bodies. I continue to feel, as do humans who focus consciousness into non-physical realms.
There is nothing to feel guilty about in connection with inhabiting a physical body. Guilt is a feeling that is taught according to precepts embodied by different cultures. Originally guilt was associated with loss of the physical vehicle. When spirits first arrived upon planet Earth and were learning to negotiate density in 3D form, they often relinquished the body's use simply because of their naive fearless. Accordingly, a protective matrix was then woven into the DNA strand to warn beings that they were endangering their physical vehicle. Fear and guilt were synonymous.
Some cultures attach guilt with running away from home, or getting into debt, or engaging in unmarried sex. Guilt is a notion that has become linked to many kinds of human behavior and, in our view, is an encumbrance. How would you humans fare if you trusted in your own wisdom-natures and lived guilt-free? Would you still be prone to deny the urging of your inner-spirit? Your inner-Voice could be prompting you to escape from your home life, to enjoy sex, or to change careers. It might suggest something disapproved by your culture. There is always a stressful dichotomy existing between the straight jacket of rigidly arbitrary societal controls versus the freedom-loving wild inner-spirit you embody.
Humans regard animals as living unrestricted, and in some ways this is true. However, ours is an independence of a different sort: Freedom to move, to be physically focused without shame and guilt, free to feel and react. Creative freedom is a divine attribute that animals enjoy when they evolve sufficiently enough to move into the privileged office of incarnation in human bodies.
Think more about freedom. It is important to you. It is praised in your renowned documents of government. Humans adamantly resist any perceived threat to their freedom. Yet humans have willingly sacrificed some of the most important aspects of it, especially the freedom to feel. Only in full co-operation with body, mind and spirit may humans fully realize to the fullest their own freedom, and yet some think that unbridled feelings would threaten it. They fear being dictated to by an authoritative deity that Thou Shalt Not do this or that, because of inner-conflicts boiling over. Know this: The Deity With Authority Is Within You and is not sitting on a puffy cloud somewhere in the sky. You Are Your Own Authority! Because we partake of the inner-wisdom of natural love, we do not fear it - we cherish it. We know that when one is aligned in body/mind/emotions/ spirit, one may be trusted. That is why we want to help humans.
Presently humans distrust our Voices Of Nature and we find it difficult to trust humans in turn, because of their miscreations derived from their spiritual mis-alignment. We animals possess much feeling about this. We have endured a long history with you humans as you have yoked us to heavy plows and wagons, ridden roughshod upon our backs, as you have spurred, whipped, cajoled and beaten us without mercy, as you have subjected us to every imaginable form of torture and degradation including that of current "mad scientist" experimentation and vivisection.
The history we speak of is one of fractured relationships. Humans are mature enough now as a species to begin to examine this disparate juxtaposition. We implore you ponder upon humanity's attitudes towards animals.
What are the relationships humans value? Aren't they those of love and equality? Don't humans protest when one particular group considers itself exclusively superior and attempts to dominate another group? Well, it is the same with us. Elephants do not attempt to dominate lions, although they may kill one in the natural course of events.
In the eyes of Spirit, our values are not inferior to those of humans, who carry more responsibility because of their relationship to creative Spirit. The human task is to recognize that you are different and yet not spiritually superior in the sense of having a right to treat us without love or to destroy us for your convenience. You do not like slavery. You have learned, for the most part, to abhor it. You are horrified when one person abuses another. Use the same standard with us. We, in the form of cattle, are not meant by the creative spirit to be your slaves. Nor are the chickens meant to be confined in small cages. Remember the story of Pegasus. Bellerophon could not have the relationship he wanted with the winged horse Pegasus through force, only with a voluntary and loving relationship.
It is time to rethink all of your ideas about the right to dominate. Many of you have begun to do this. You can see the issue as it comes forth between men and women. You can see it in terms of disapproval of genocide. Use the same standard with us. Destroying a human group deliberately, or even as a side effect, is not acceptable. Neither is the deliberate destruction of an animal group. It may happen. It is not your place to make it happen. Nature as a whole may make such decisions, but it is always for the good of everyone.
We are asking for help, we of the animal kingdom. We desire a co-operative relationship with humans. We want to exist together in peace on our joint home, the planet Earth. What does this mean, you may ask? It means that you would seek your food and entertainment from other sources. Not ride horses, you ask? If the relationship is a willing and voluntary one, that is fine. If it is not, then there are questions to ask yourself. Ask the same questions with regard to the life of your pet dog or cat or any other pets. Is it a willing and voluntary relationship of mutual respect and companionship? One in which you respect the animal's need for relationship, space, freedom to explore, freedom to come and go?
We are not attempting to state a rule of "no pets." We are asking you to think in terms of relationship.
But animals are not the same as humans, you say. No, they actually require more freedom than you in some respects, since you are willing to live in buildings and spend much of your life indoors.
Are we to give up all our pets kept in small apartments, you ask? Remember, we are not giving you a rule. We are simply saying that all relationships are in process of becoming voluntary, not forced. The issue here is control. You have learned to think of nature as something that must be controlled by humans lest it run amok. That is the opposite of the truth. Nature does not run amok. It is continually recreating a balance so you can continue to enjoy a livable environment. And when, as has happened a few times, humans have become too destructive with their exploration of creativity, nature steps in and restores balance. This can require vigorous measures such as sinking continents, lifting up mountains, flooding vast tracts of land, and so forth, but it is always for the higher good.
Do you use such a measure in your decision-making? When you decide to chop down a tree, or to plant grass, or insist that all the "weeds" be cut along the shoulder of the highway, do you act with the intention of the higher good for all life? or do you act for a lesser reason, one that may result in poisoning the water and soil or interfering with the flow of water run-off.
Once more we say: it is not nature that needs to be controlled, it is the beliefs of humans that need to be changed. Humans need to see nature as a friend and protector with a long-term view, a much longer span of time than a single human lifetime. This is not the time for humans to be thinking in terms of "mastering nature." That is a foolish notion. It is based on the idea that you are separate from nature.
And do not be misled by the notion that we animals exist by the laws of the so-called "survival of the fittest". This idea, stemming from your notions about domination and competition, does not fit the facts. As you realize peace in your hearts, you will begin to drop your misguided ideas about the "inevitability of competition" and begin to notice that co-operation exists all around you, everywhere. Competition is a culturally imposed attitude. Babies are not born with it. They learn it at home from societal attitudes embodied by their parents. They could as easily learn peaceful co-operation. It would be more natural and productive. Think about it.
Suppose your children had been trained to view the world in terms of relaxed co-operation and a sense of community with peers, teachers, adults of all ages, animals, trees, and even insects. Do you think they would consequently ravage all the old growth trees in the ancient woodlands? They would most likely hesitate, at the very least. They would instinctively realize that there is some special quality inherent in such trees, and would and seek to solve that mystery.
What we really want is for you to encourage your children to talk with trees and animals, even rocks. Let them learn the art of telepathic communication with all forms of nature. Your imagination and senses will show you the way. Children do these things spontaneously. You are able to even communicate with the rocks that you like to carry around on your necks and wrists and fingers.
There is a Voice, a Consciousness in each aspect of nature. Each strand of the Web Of Life is communicating and co-operating with the All That Is. Anything you can attune to, from the sands to the stars, you can communicate with.
When you have learned this art of communication, you can even ask your own body what it requires and hear the it's reply. You would not need to visit the doctor and confuse your body with allopathic drugs that mute the problem. When you cover-up and deny, the issue at hand must inevitably be brought before the alter of your attention in some other way. So when you learn to communicate easily with your body, you will break free of the morass of synthetic hospitals and high medical bills. Co-operation with your body, rather than treating your body as an enemy that is attacking you or betraying you, would uplift you into the heights of overflowing vitality.
Co-operation could yield other dividends, too. Suppose you were in the woods and saw an attractive plant. Your greater self recognizes that this particular flora is not good for you. Your stomach may give you this signal. Or your intuition might tell you. The universe is always giving you information. Learn to receive it. It is there for you and is intended to assist you to travel your life's path with ease.
Struggle is a result of your beliefs. It is related to your ideas about competition, scarcity, sacrifice, work, separation from God, and separation from one another. As you come to understand the great oneness in which we all live, you will discover that so-called "scarcity" is created by a handful of supply-and demand corporate trickster/manipulators. Their stock-in-trade is distortion, ignorance, and greed, which is itself a form of fear. They propandagize twisted slogans about the "right to dominate" and the "necessity to submit." Their greatest concern is that citizens everywhere will come to know that true abundance will always be related to your inner state of mind, and your feelings and beliefs; moreso than the outer statistics of canned goods in your kitchen pantry or of dollars residing in your checking account.
We have emphasized feelings so far because they are our road to truth. We know if all is well or if action needs to be taken according to how we feel. We follow our leads and impulses. You, in contrast, often fail to follow your impulses, and consequently neglect your best interests.
You have been conditioned to distrust spontenaity. Instincts are suspect as part of your perceived "degraded" animal nature along with all the rest of creation. This is a real tragedy for you. Impulses are more to be relied upon than you suppose. They are often direct connections with your higher self which knows much more about your current situation than your conscious self does! And your higher self knows what you need to do to re-establish balance when you have lost your way. This can be the impulse, quickly suppressed, to take an hour off from your work schedule and simply relax, take a walk, or bathe in soothing hot water. The wisdom in this response takes into account not only your personal needs but also those of everyone around you.
Have you ever seen an animal careening about in a desperate rush? They may briefly sprint for the unalloyed joy of it, or for safety, but they are not driven, as are you, by negative compulsions of fear of shortages, weight of responsibility, notions about "fleeting" time, and so on. Spirit does not insist that you rush or that you worry about your daily tasks. By simply attuning to spirit, you would unburden yourself of much guilt and shame which perpetuate the stimulus/ response loop of such behavior. It would be an enormous relief. You would feel healthier. The next time you are tempted to dash about to perform some work-related chore, pause to reflect upon our advice and take a moment to realign (religion) yourself back in harmony with your inner-self and your lovely world, sun, wind, trees, surrounding you. View your self-image as interconnected with a Great Web Of All That Is. One portion of the gossamer structure doesn't need to stretch and rend as it attempts to rush over to another portion. An innate, overall consciousness is well aware of the status of the entire assemblage composed of all the strands. This analogy holds true for a germ as well as a galaxy. You can trust that you always have enough time to accomplish whatever your spirit really wants you to perform.
Are we being clear about this? We know you have created a world in which you think you must defer gratification, work hard, earn a living, and assume weighty responsibilities. For many of you this is a very uncomfortable world and you would like for it to change. You really have the power to actualize this. You may begin by allowing yourself to relax, to walk in harmony, to be a part of the Web; no longer struggling alone against semingly overwhelming odds. Then you can begin to experience the benevolent "invisible" support which has always surrounded you. Allow yourself to be lifted up by the Hand of Creation.
