The one that chooses to destroy, will, one day, be slain by his own destruction. The one that chooses to victimize the innocent, will, one day, be the victim of his own weakness and will face the strength of innocence and goodness. Know that one day, when the sun will set, the gloom of your darkness will come to haunt you, with no promise of any sunrise tomorrow. The memory of each slaying will flash before you, and you will face the torture of the past in your present with a future that shakes and tremors with the fear of the unknown punishment that lies ahead.
The killing must stop, or more of your blood will be shed for every drop of blood you spilled in vain! You must not play with the law of nature. Yes! Each animal that sacrifices the beating of his heart for the simple desire of taste, will, one day, plead its justice in the court of God! Every animal that you killed, will leave his stain of blood on your hands. It is you, that I blame for giving the butcher his occupation. It is you, that I blame for allowing those who raise animals only to brutally kill them, one day. It is you, that I blame for encouraging others with your bribe of money to incur sin of killing the ones that cannot defend themselves against the power of your evil. By ingesting a poor animal, you have spoken of your own superiority over them. You have proven to Me that your kindness and compassion is only selective and not for all. With every platter of sinful food, you have refused to recognize My omnipresence in all, at all times. You have left the God within you starving, and the one that has been left with no food, has not been able to function or reveal Himself to you.
Always remember, that the ones that cannot speak and cannot defend themselves are always in My protection. The one that gave up his life for you will surely come back to Me, but be afraid, My dears, of what will happen to you. How can the mind be silenced with peace, when it walks today with several accusations of brutal murders? All that you ingest will manifest in your behavior and attitude. Your pride of superiority will bend, when one day, you too, will behave like an animal that lacks control and is attached to the leash of his own karma's. Food is the fuel that allows your body, which is the instrument, to function at its fullest potential. If a wrong fuel is fed to the machine, the machine will only begin to malfunction. Similarly, the instrument that is given to you to reach God, must be kept pure, or else, it, too, will malfunction, and eventually, break down with physical and mental disorders. Can you reach the destination, My dears, when the car is out of order? Even for the perfect driver, without the help of a car, his journey will be long, unsure and in discomfort.
Wash the blood off your hands with your tears of repentance and your promise of purity. Say "no" to the ingestion of flesh, and prove to Me that you are human and will not allow the destruction of another's instrument for the vanity of your desires. Fight, to enforce the rules of Mother Nature, and let mother earth provide you with every meal that will nourish your soul with love for all creation. Respect every life that takes birth in any form, and sacrifice your all, to sustain and protect each one of them. Your mission must not differ from My mission - i.e., protecting the innocent and being courageous to lead and transform the wicked. All will change, in time, but you must make the change, now!
