Even lower 2D entities have group consciousness. I make pacts with wasps, bees, ants, roaches, etc. I tell the wasps where they can build their nests (high up just under the gutters, away from doors and windows) and if they build too close to the door or window, I give them 1 week to leave. I make it very clear that if they don't leave in the appointed time, I will have no choice but to knock down the nest, rather than letting the UPS guy get stung.
It has been several years since I had to knock down a nest. Even then, there was no need to kill them. They just had the inconvenience of having to rebuild their nest somewhere else.
Then, I put up a forcefield, built by thoughtform, in the areas where they are prohibited.
In the last several years since I've been doing this, without fail, the wasps have moved within a few days whenever I've asked them to.
Fascinating! I will most certainly be employing this technique - thank you.
Quote:I can't fathom killing a bee! Those with bee sting allergies must be diligent to avoid bees, but once the bee has stung, it will die anyway, so there's no reason to kill them even in the case of a sting.
Bees can detect negative emotions and stings often reflect that. I have a great reverence for bees.
I feel the same. We plant bee-friendly flora in our back garden, it's wonderful to see so many. They are incredibly peaceful.
Quote:Every person I've ever met who said a vegetarian diet "didn't work for them" lacked education about how to thrive on such a diet.
Indeed, this was, and still is, an area of self education. It's taken me a while to get to the odd bit of free range organic 'happy' chicken, and the odd bit of fish. I will factor these out in time with replacements which match the protein and nutritional value. Any suggestions? :¬)
Quote:Participation in themeparks like Seaworld is also participating in the slavery of 3D entities.
The same applies to 2D life. Zoos are prisons. In some cases, a zoo can offer a better life for an animal, but the ratio is much in favour of the former, as many are low tech, too small and functionally inadequate.

Quote:Another arbitrary measurement of a creatures advancedness is the amount of genes it has in it's DNA... There is a flower in Japan that's about 10 times more complex than we are. We suppose it does not think, it has no brain. But it is a highly advanced entity none the less. If you wiped it out and started it from fresh assuming the same path could be walked again it would take more generations to evolve than we did. Why do we not pick height? Weight? Speed? Because we don't have those things, as monkeys we value social aptitude and intelligence.
Agreed.
Quote:I object to the notion of seeing Gaia as some sort of anthromorphized ball of clay. Most of all creatures on earth die through violence or disaster. To claim that Gaia is innocent, knows nothing about that is in my opinion naive. It discredits the thousands of generations of indiginous people that this planet has known. And is right back in the christian/muslim/jewish mindset. Where God is great and all misery comes from the devil...
Perhaps I'll try to rephrase my beliefs. Each of us here, and all life is part of Gaia. She experiences what we experience. She provides first, second and third density (and of course, higher) life the gift of experience. These experiences can be tough, easy, happy, sad, fearful or loving. Such is the nature of All That Is; experiencing all that can be experienced. I never stated Gaia knew nothing of this, and it certainly does not discredit any other life forms.
My opinion that Gaia is STO stems from the fact her existence helps trillions upon trillions (an infinite amount?) of life forms gather experience. STS and STO experience, inclusive of both the dark and the light. Humanity is evolving, we're moving towards the light and unity. This implies that darkness is a temporary aspect of the ineffable. This is because darkness is created within the framework of love and light. Gaia is hurting, the negative/separate/greed nature (born of free will) of man has caused much harm, and this suffering has been accepted (STO action), and she still proves each of us with unconditional love and energy (STO action). She does this so we can evolve. Service to others in many aspects. Nature can be brutal; it's all part of experience.
