(What are some of the spiritual benefits that we can get from being a vegetarian? Spiritual benefit?) Oh, yes. I may tell you. (OK. Thank You.)
I’m glad you ask in this manner because that means you only concentrate or care about spiritual benefit. Most people would care about health, diet or figure when they talk about the vegan diet. The spiritual aspect of the vegan diet is very clear – non-violence, “Thou shall not kill.” When God said to us, “Thou shall not kill,” Hes did not say human beings – Hes said all beings. Didn’t Hes say that Hes made all the animal (-people) to befriend us, to be helpers to us? And didn’t Hes put all the Animal (-people) in our care? Hes said take of them; rule over them. And when you rule over your subjects, do you kill your subjects and eat them? And become the only king, no one else is there.
So now you understand. When God says that, we must do it anyhow, no need to question Hirm. Hes says it very clearly. But who understands God? Except God. So, now we have to become god in order to understand God. I invite you to be God-like again. Be yourself. Be no one else.
To meditate on God doesn’t mean you worship God. It means you be God. You realize that you and God are one. “I and my Father are one.” Didn’t (Lord) Jesus say so? And if He said He and His Father are one, we and His Father are also one, because we are also the children of God. And He said what He did, we can do even better.
Why worship God when we don’t know anything about God? Why such blind faith? We must know first what we worship. Just like you must know who is the girl you’re going to marry before you marry her. Nowadays it’s modern. We don’t marry by blind date anymore. So, why should we worship God in all blind faith? We have the right to demand God to appear, to make Hirmself known to us.
So, now you see it is very clear in the Bible that we should be vegan. And by all scientific reasons, we should be vegan; and by all health reasons, we should be vegan; and by all economic reasons, we should be vegan. And by all compassionate reasons, we should be vegan. And to save the world’s slogan and spirit, we should be vegan. It is stated in some research that if the people in America would eat vegan once a week, we would save 60 million people every year. So – Be a Hero, Be Vegan – by all reasons. Even if you don’t follow me, you don’t practice the same method, please be a vegan. For your own sake and for the sake of the world.
Any other questions? (Please pass written questions to this side, and we’ll pick them up.) Please.
(I’m curious about reoccurring patterns and personal development, like a pattern of jealousy or resentment that gets in your way, and how you just move through those and let go of them?) Oh. It’s difficult. I’m working on it. So, I’ll answer you next time. OK? (OK.)
Well, jealousy is normal, it’s normal behavior. It’s just that we should not let it rule over us and make us become miserable, and make us become cruel, and thinking of a way to slay our opponent, and then it is OK. Jealousy is a warning that we are not loving ourselves enough or that we are loving the wrong person, or that our love is not yet under control. (Yes.) It’s also a sign that our feeling is still very raw, that we are still alive. So, be happy. When you’re dead, then you’re finished with jealousy. Not before.
Well, when somebody nips you and you feel pain, you don’t need to give an anesthetic injection into that part to stop the pain. Just know that it pains, If you can, stop the cause of the pain. But not to deaden your body in order not to feel the pain anymore. That’s bad. If you can’t stop the pain, the cause of the pain, then accept it and be happy that your body is still alive, still reflexive. When a doctor wants to test your reflex, he will put a hammer to your knee. And if it jumps, it’s good. Fancy if it doesn’t jump.
So now, the sea doesn’t have waves by itself. The sea has waves by the rotation of the Earth and by the wind pressure. But when the sea resists that, it’s not the sea any longer. If it has no water in it, then it has no waves – dead sea. So, when the sea has waves, it is the sea still. It has a good quality; it has the true quality of the sea. So, when you have jealousy, it’s “good.”
Of course, you don’t enjoy jealousy, but at least you know that you’re alive, that your feelings are very sharp, and you’re very human. Just get it under control and don’t let it use you to harm the opponent instead of knowing that the other probably has the same jealousy as you. Try to support that person and try to make that person happy instead of yourself. If you can help it, stop the cause.
(As a strong believer of self-determination...) Of what? (Of self-determination.) Yes. (...of natural consequences. In me, I feel like I’ve reached an inner peace. But how do you... or what can you do to help someone to achieve that? Who you really care about and you want the natural process to take place. But what can you do to assist that process?) You already reached inner peace, you say. You want to help somebody else, is that right? (Yes.) I’m a little bit in Heaven today, so please...
OK, fine. That’s a very good will wish. (Without forcing your...) Without forcing (...yourself on them.) yourself. Well, just do it naturally. If somebody listens, you talk. If they don’t, you stop. Provided they are around you. Like today, I’m invited, so I come. If you didn’t invite me, I would not appear. And if you don’t want to listen and you walk out, I would not come and drag you by the collar and say, “Sit down!” I just talk to those who like to listen. Do it that way. Do it like when you’re hungry, you eat. When you’re tired, you sleep. As much as possible.
Of course, sometimes the situation is not so black and white. But just surrender; God’s Will be done. Whoever God brings to you, that’s correct. If he didn’t bring anybody, it means you’re free of karma. Be happy, be happy. Well, any answer I give to you, if not satisfactory, money refunded. You can ask again; I mean, you can protest until you’re satisfied.
(Is it possible to be fully Divine and fully human at the same time?) Yes. A fully Divine person is a fully human being. A fully human being is fully Divine. Now we are only half human beings. We do things with hesitation. We do things with ego. We do not believe that it’s God who arranges all this for our enjoyment, for our experience. We separate sins and virtues. We make a big deal out of everything, and accordingly judge ourselves and other people, and accordingly suffer by our own limitations about what God should do.
Actually, God is inside us and we limit Hirm. Hes like to enjoy and play everything. But we don’t know. We just say, “Oh, you shouldn’t do that.” We say to ourselves, “Oh, I shouldn’t do that. I must not do this.”
“But why vegan?” You would ask me, yeah, I know. Vegan, just because the God inside us wants it. [Meat-eating] is against our principle of not wanting to be killed. We ourselves don’t want to be killed. Or we ourselves don’t want to be stolen of things, for example. Now, if we do that to another person, which means we go against ourselves, that makes us suffer. Everything you do against yourself makes you suffer. Like you cannot beat yourself, and you shouldn’t starve yourself, for example. Same thing – we should not kill. Because that’s against the principle of life. That makes us suffer, so we don’t do it. It doesn’t mean we limit ourselves in that way. That means we expand our lives to all kinds of lives. Our lives will not be limited in this body but extended to the lives of the animal(-people) and all kinds of other beings. And that makes us grander, greater, happier, and limitless.
(Is the idea of a dark force just something in our minds?) Yeah. We have free will to think white and dark. Satan is born out of the Kingdom of God too. The Kingdom of God is inside ourselves. When we make a revolution against the Principle of Life, the good principles, the true principles, we are in the dark force. We become an instrument of the dark force, of the negative power. But the negative power is OK too. It makes life exciting, and it makes life come into existence. Otherwise, we’re all sleeping in Heaven. Nothing to do.
But as soon as we are tired of the negative power and want to go Home, we should. We cannot always play in the negative place. We must also go Home sometime. So, my message is for those who are tired of playing, who don’t want to play anymore, who want to rest, to go Home. That’s all. And whoever doesn’t listen to me means they still love the negative side of nature. They like it. So let them.
