Prayer Circle for Animals Weekly Update
Please
share with friends!!
Our prayers for
all animals continue to circle the earth, to
uplift
humanity’s consciousness, and to bless the animals themselves.
Thank you for joining people around the world
who are praying this
prayer in many
different languages but all with the same love:
“COMPASSION ENCIRCLES
THE EARTH FOR ALL BEINGS EVERYWHERE
Advance apology:
This will be a little longer than usual.
So much is happening this week.
Easter
is on Sunday; World Week for Animals in Labs starts Sunday; Earth Day is the 22nd;
the release of the movie “Noah” is in theaters, and on top of all that, there
is an astrological Grand Cross with transformational power reaching its peak on
the 23rd. I hope I can do
justice to the tremendous potential that lies within this week.
Easter’s message
of an end to animal sacrifice and forgiveness “for they know not what they do.”
As
we’ve discussed before, many Biblical scholars believe that Jesus was a
vegetarian who taught nonviolence and may have been crucified primarily for his
demonstration against the highly lucrative animal sacrifice in the Temple. Yet
he forgave those who killed aniimals and who persecuted him
Animals in
Laboratories are crucified and tortured daily in sacrifices to the gods of
money and “science.”
This
week is dedicated worldwide to the awareness of their suffering and our ongoing
work to bring an end, once and for all, to using animals in experiments as well
as supporting the work of those who are developing non-animal tests that can
actually help people and animals. In
Defense of Animals is encouraging people to leaflet, demonstrate, and educate
people about the cruelty and uselessness of animal testing. At the website http://www.wwail.org you can find
encouragement by seeing what many groups are doing as well as find ideas for
action.
Earth Day brings
with it the promise of human consciousness rising as more and more people learn
that we are here to care for the earth and not destroy it.
The
fact that Earth Days all over the planet keep growing and multiplying is a sign
that we human beings have the capacity to change our ways, to become nonviolent
and to see the earth as a sacred, holy place.
While the vegan message has been just a squeak among the rain barrels
and recycling craft booths at Earth Day events, thanks to activists it is
growing louder and more visible every year.
As we know, none of the green ideas will save the earth if veganism is
not at the heart of it all.
“Noah” the movie
is in theaters now. Noah and his family
are clearly portrayed as vegan.
Noah
and family, descendents of Adam and Eve’s son Seth live as vegans. In the film,
the descendents of Cain have overrun the earth and devastated it with weapons,
mining, cities, and endless violence.
When Noah is out one day with his sons, an animal runs by having been
speared by people. Noah tenderly
caresses the animal as he takes his last breath. When the boys ask him why people would kill
an animal, he explains that they want to eat him. The boys ask why, and Noah tells them that
the men think it will make them stronger.
“Will it?” the boys ask. “No,”
answers Noah, “Only God makes us strong.”
Noah often refers to the animals as “the innocents.” During the flood, a violent king manages to
get onto the ark. He kills animals in
the ark to eat them, and tries to convince one of the sons that you have to eat
them in order to “be a man.” Of course,
putting Hollywood and the Bible together to try to tell a cohesive story has
its drawbacks, but what is important to us and to the animals is that this
message of compassion and kindness was crystal clear in a movie that will be
seen by millions. And it has been
released at a time that is positively exploding with transformational energy.
The Grand Cross
is a powerful celestial alignment.
It
is occurring now and for several months, but it will reach its peak this week
on April 23. Four planets are at an
equal distance from each other forming a cross in the sky (even more
interesting since it is so close to Easter).
The Cross aligns with our equinoxes and solstices causing what many
believe to be “the turning of the age.” According to www.universallifetools.com “…the Cardinal Grand Cross [opens] a Quantum Gateway
of potential to a most cherished ancient truth; a cosmic truth built upon the
foundations of LOVE and a deep reverence for all of LIFE. People
are awakening en-masse to a higher wisdom and transcending the social,
political and religious frameworks built on fear, to co-create a new world
based on foundations of LOVE, compassion, sovereignty and unity.”
A Prayer Wave for
this Week Full of Promise
Great
Spirit, Light of the World, we give thanks for all the activists around the
world working to educate people about animals in laboratories and those
teaching vegan truths at Earth Day events.
Strength and wisdom pours through us from Universal Love to empower each
one of them to carry the precious message of the sacredness of all beings. We give thanks for the producers of the movie
“Noah,” for their courage in so clearly connecting violence toward animals with
war and environmental devastation. We
give thanks for the many scholars who put forth the possibility that Jesus was
vegetarian, opposed animal sacrifice, and taught nonviolence and compassion for
all beings.
We
feel the Cosmic and Grand Cross energy of Love, Compassion, and Reverence for
Life moving in all hearts and strongly drawing all of us to Higher
Consciousness and Wisdom. We see people
at Easter services finally understanding Jesus’ message and refusing to eat
ancient traditional meals of sacrificial lambs and others. We see everyone who attends the movie “Noah”
suddenly understanding that human violence is directly connected to eating
animals so that they may free their own
souls and the animals at the same time.
We see them transforming to lives of ahimsa. We see animal experimenters falling to their
knees at the grief-filled realization of what they have done to animals,
receiving forgiveness, and going forth to create cruelty-free scientific
methods.
Above
all, during this powerful and sacred time, a Prayer Wave of Divine Love and
Tenderness will flow through each of us to encircle the world and bless every
single animal on earth. ‘Though we appear to be physical, yet we know we are
timeless spiritual beings and One with all life. Together we raise our voices
and sing a new song with the innocents of earth. We sing your song with you,
dear animals, and we know that Love and Justice will prevail so that all of you
will be safe and free to live in peace.
Thanks
to all of you, compassion is encircling the earth for all beings. Thank you for your devotion to truth, love,
liberation and peace for all beings.
With Love, peace, and gratitude from Judy, and also Will,
Madeleine, Tara and the Circle of Compassion team
