I have no critiques or moral judgments on cannibals. Even the animal world and plant world have variations of cannibalism. I just decide to not be, and that is just because I don't have to be, at least right now.
Given the right situation, like a downed plane in the winter in the Himalaya's and no way out and no hope of rescue till spring and all food gone and I might start seeing you as a nice Rump Roast which is just about to fall down from starvation :)
We don't really know what we're capable of until we are forced to find out what our true nature is.

Choosing what we eat is a luxury, a luxury many people in the world don't have - they eat what there is, maybe it's only reindeer meat, maybe it's only vegetables, maybe it's only seals and bear, or rice and fruits. Having the luxury of choice and then arrogantly judge others is unconsciousness and lack of compassion.

The parallel I drew between slavery and plants is that much as slavers deemed slave to be not human you are judging plants to be not conscious therefore you can eat them and don't have to feel appreciative or grateful that they died so that you could eat. You have psychologically distanced yourself from common consciousness with them, yet you are freaking out that another person might choose to eat meat because you have determined that animals are more conscious than plants therefore it's mortifying to eat them. Surely you see there's no difference here in the thinking. A slaver wouldn't have enslaved a white person because they saw them as human and worthy of equality and dignity, but couldn't see a colored person as one.

Animal and Plant Whispering isn't rock science, if one can do one of them one can do the other - all it requires is consciousness and a willingness to connect with open heart and mind. People who can't remember how to do it on their own come to me and I teach them, they can do it within a day usually. You can call it self proclaimed or self appointed or anything you want, you're opinion doesn't really matter to me on this or change my reality on way or the other.

"So spiritually regressed people can gorge themselves on dead flesh"
Seriously??!!
LOL
Dude, careful if you keep slamming your fist like that and yelling your gonna fall off your pulpit 'cause you are already off balance.

That'll be a 'No' then.
