VEGETARIANISM Man is a frugivorous being: his digestive tract is similar to that of the anthropoid (apes and gorillas) which feed exclusively on fruit and roots.. Man’s teeth, saliva lands, stomach, intestines and others organs carried the zoologists to classify him as a frugivorous being. This statement was made by scientists of the status of Cuvier, Darwin, Huxley, Haeckel, Lamarck, Linneu, etc. To man’s instinct the killing of
animals is loathsome: the sight of dead animals in certain conditions, such
as roasted in a fire, quartered and even exposed in the form of raw meat is
repulsive to man. Only after disguising its appearance and taste through fire
and seasoning is man able to eat it. A child would never jump over the
neighbor’s wall to eat a piece of meat but if he saw a fruit on a tree he
would instinctively set out to get it. Consequently, by studying his body
(Biology) and his instinct (Psychology) it is proved that man should feed on
vegetables. Meat intoxicates and acidifies the
body. Due to the poisonous substances which it produces, such as urea, uric
acid and others, man’s blood becomes acid, the kidneys and the liver become
weak from excess work to eliminate the poisons in the blood. Several sickness
appear then: arteriosclerosis, rheumatism, enteritis, gastritis,
constipation, gastric ulcers, eczema, appendicitis, premature aging. The carnivorous animals have a
gland which segregates ammonia which neutralizes the acids resultant of the digestion
of the meat, but we do not possess this gland. Flesh produces intense intestinal
putrefaction and the intestines of the carnivorous animals have a microbe
population of many millions greater than that of the vegetarian. Many people consider meat a
necessary and indispensable food without which it is impossible to have
perfect health. Still in countries as India, China, Japan, millions of people
never tasted meat and if they did it was always a minimum quantity.
Nevertheless they are strong and resistant and when placed next to
occidentals for work which demands very great physical effort, their
superiority is remarkable. Carnivorous animals are strong but
herbivorous animals have not only muscular strength but resistance, too. The
elephant, the horse, the ox perform work which demands great physical effort
such as carrying weight over long distances. The strength of carnivorous
animals depletes rapidly and they cannot stand continuous work. The protein found in meat is
supplied to advantage by various vegetable foods: soybeans, Brazil nuts,
peanuts, cashew nuts, lentils, walnuts, almonds. Milk and its by products
supply more protein than meat and although it is of animal origin it is
recommended for vegetarian diet. In cold regions, vegetarianism can
and should be adopted. All that is necessary is to be careful to use butter,
olive oil, fats and other oils to supply the body with necessary calories. Vast areas cleared to be be
transformed into pastures when they could continue being virgin forests so necessary
to be ecological balance of the planet inasmuch as when he vegetarian needs part
of the land for his production of vegetable foods, the carnivorous animal
needs ten times the same space to breed animals. Up to this point we have seen the
superiority of vegetarianism from the point of view of the science of
nutrition. Still, as occultist that we are, we, the Rosecross, have other
reason to adopt the vegetarian diet. The carnivorous diet excites the
lowest emotions. Vegetarians are more peaceful and calm than the carnivorous.
The carnivorous animals (the
tiger, the wolf, the falcon) have the lowest feelings: cruelty, malice,
ungratefulness in contrast with the herbivorous (ox, horse, sheep) which can
be domesticated appearing tame and loving to their breeder. The students of these messages who
make the effort of dominating their passions should give special attention to
the paragraph above. The great avatars and mystics were
vegetarians: Zoroaster, Plato, Pythagoras, Budda, Christ, Appolonius of Tiana.
More recently, the following mystics and outstanding men were vegetarians:
Leonardo da Vinci, Saint Francis of Assis, Newton, Voltaire, Linnaeus,
Benjamin Franklin, Lamartine, Tolstoi, Fulton, Napoleon Bonaparte, Pasteur,
Morse, Thomas Edison, Caruso, Adolf Hitler, Bernard Shaw, Stalin, Ghandi,
Albert Einstein, etc. Albert Einstein creator of the
theory of relativity stated: “I am, by principle a fervent follower of
vegetarianism, above all for moral and esthetic reasons. I firmly believe
that because of its physical effects, the vegetarianism system of life will
influence man’s temperament to such an extent that it will greatly improve
the destine of humanity”. The Initiated who have already
started to tread the Mystic Trail and wish to become harmonized with the
cosmic (divine, spiritual) plane as well as develop their psychic
capabilities would do well to abstain from eating meat henceforth. Nevertheless, as some of our
students who may have a poorer quality physique which did not keep pace with
his spiritual evolution during he various reincarnations, may consume meat
moderately – that is if they really need this food. Poultries are created all her
short life in cages of 50 x 50 cm, oxen are also created in tight and
unnatural places. The chicks, as they are for cut or
for eggs, the males or females, are eliminated by crush with hammer, fire,
suffocates and other inhuman methods. The humanity eats a mountain
Everest of meat the whole year, and later it complains about her karma:
diseases, old age, violence, etc. Although it is increasing the
number of vegetarians, the machines of frying chickens and the back yard
barbecue grill also. A plate of cereals and vegetables
are a death to less. Avoid the animal meat. The
animals, our newer siblings, thank his kindness and spiritual elevation. Don’t say I am vegetarian, say I
am half vegetarian, because we lived surrounded of meat, and in case of
being obliged to eat meat, nobody can call him of hypocrite. In this world nobody is perfect,
somebody can be 100% vegetarian, but he can have other worse defects of the
than to eat meat. The vegetarian is very controlled
by the carnivores that are always waiting for his relapse, therefore say I
am half vegetarian (but tries to be the more possible vegetarian). The Rosicrucians who have a clear
vision the Plane of the Creator for
the Universe, avoid killing any living creature because they know that these
creatures are on his planet to live and evolve, and that God did not give man
any power to kill them except during a brief period after the Deluge when the
vegetables became scarce for biblical peoples. If the Cosmic Law was not more
severe on this point in the past, this was due to the fact that there were
any men whose evolution did not permit a more rigorous restriction.
Nevertheless, of late them majority of humanity reached a point at whch it
must abandon all flesh nourishment. + + + HUMAN SACRIFICES
Teacher Morris Raphael Cohen, of
the University of Chicago, said, once, to their students that imagined have appeared
on the Earth a being super human, offering to the men to teach them a magic
thing, that he would make the life incomparably more comfortable, colored and
entertaining; in retribution, the men should offer him annually a bloody
sacrifice of 50.000 human lives. With that indignation would have been
repelled by the men! But then, concluded the teacher, appeared the
automobile! Karl E.
Meyer * * * The one that killed an ox is like the one who killed a human. Isaias, biblical prophet While the man continue to be impetuous
destructive of the lively beings, of the inferior beings, he will not find
the health neither the peace. While the men massacre the animals, they
will kill each other. Pythagoras The greatness of a nation and its moral
progress can be judged by the form with which their animals are treated. Mahatma Gandhi It arrive time in which the men will look at
the mistreatment to the animals with the same abomination with which today
consider human beings’ murder. Leonardo da Vinci Nothing will benefit more humanity’s health
and will increase the survival chances of life in the Earth regarding
vegetarian diet. Albert
Einstein The animals are my friends… and I do not eat
my friends. Bernard Shaw The man implores God mercy but he does not
have pity of the animals, for the which he is a god. The animals that you sacrifice already
gave you the sweet tribute of its milk, the softness of its wood and
deposited confidence in the criminal hands that behead them. Nobody purifies his spirit with blood. Gautama Buda We want to liberate us to the suffering,
should not live of the suffering and of killing inflicted to other animals. Paul Carton I has not interest any religion whose
principles do not improve in carry in consideration the terms of the animals. Abraham Lincoln If I had other life, devoted her entirely to
the fight against for the vivisection. Bismarck There are not fundamental differences between
man and the animals in her lights… the animals, like the men, demonstrate
feel pleasure, pain, happiness and suffering. Charles Darwin Will not there be justice while the man seize
a knife or a gun and to destroy the ones that are weaker than he. Isaac Singer Very little of the great cruelty shown men
can be really assigned to a cruel instinct.
Most of her is result of reflection
lack or of inherited habits. Albert Schweitzer The compassion by the animals is intimately
linked to the character kindness, and it can surely be affirmed that who is
cruel with the animals cannot be a good man. Arthur Schopenhauer Do not believe that the animals suffer less
than the human beings. The pain is the same for them and for us . Perhaps worse, because they cannot help to
themselves. Louis J. Camuti What I do not conceive is to behead a kid
goat, asphyxiate a dove, cut the nape of a chicken, or to give stabs in a pig
so that I eat your remains. It is not
for a matter of biological chemistry the reason of I have me past for the
arrays of the egg nurse vegetarianism, but by the imperative morale that my
life to do not be kept to costs of the going of other beings. Eduardo Alfonso The animals that you as they are not the ones that devour another, you does not eat the carnivorous beasts, you the take it! As standard. You only feel hunger by the sweet and kind creatures that do not hurt anybody, which follow it, the serve, and that are devoured by you as reward of their services. Jean Jacques Rousseau Deliberate fires and cruelty with animals are
2 of the 3 signals in early life that signal the potential of a serial
murderer. John Douglas, analyst of the FBI who studies murderers’ profile
