@Cassandane Thank you for sharing this beautiful and touching story about the elephants. I have heard many stories about animals grieving the loss of friends, including interspecies friends. Think of how we humans grieve when a beloved animal dies. One friend told us about a crow who died in her backyard, and there then took place a very loud funeral – hundreds of crows flew there, crowing and crying, and circling about, and their funeral lasted for days.
@justawhoaman Thank you, also, for sharing some insights about your ranch, and also a little about your belief with regard to the omnivore question, and also the idea that humans have always been eating animals (you’re in good company there – most people will agree with you on both of those points). I used to think those things, too, because we were taught them in school and by all of our institutions. About twenty years ago, both John and I shelved the belief that we need to be consuming animals (the best decision we’ve made in our lives, next to marrying each other). And this was the very first of our beliefs about official narratives to be questioned and shelved – both of us feel that we’ve been living in a World of Illusions, and feeling very duped. (More recently, we shelved our past ideas on “vaccines”, “climate change”, 9/11, Kennedy assasination, the Giza pyramids, the Nazis, the banking system, the medical industry, the veterinarian industry). Some years ago, we listened to a presentation by Milton Mills MD (an American medical doctor), called “Are Humans Designed to Eat Meat”. We found this talk interesting, and it inspired us to ponder the omnivore question in terms of our anatomy. While Dr. Mills is a conventional doctor, who fully believes in vaccines and in the WHO official health narratives, I don’t necessarily write off everything a person has to say, just because I don’t agree with something else they put out. (If I did that, I’d write off just about everyone except for John!) Anyways, his presentation got me thinking about something I’d wondered about for a very long time which is: I completely and utterly lack a hunting instinct. Moreover, if I see a dead carcass in the woods, I do not find that appetizing (which an omnivore like a bear or dog would do). I used to think that my own lack of hunting/scavaging instinct was unnatural – as, how would humans survive without this instinct? I have an instinct to pick fruits and vegetables, and roots and leaves and nuts and seeds and grains, and can easily, without any qualm, put those things into my mouth raw. I have no instinct to chase an animal and sink my teeth into his or her hide. Nor can my teeth cut into bird feathers - a true omnivore seems to be able to eat dead birds, feathers and all. This really got me wondering, those many years ago, about the food narratives, and at this time, all I seem to be able to do is question what we’ve been told. I think the animal question lays buried deep, deep, deep in the past, and I think Dr. Farrell’s work on the Giza pyramids and the Nazi history, with mind control operations is taking my thinking deeper into this question. Along with pondering about other instincts that are being messed about too (e.g., the “gender” thing). Right now we live in a culture organized, at its very core, around killing. The question is why – deep in the past, our civilization was aligned in a direction not in keeping with our natural instincts, and Dr. Farrell’s work on the Giza pyramids have me wondering more and more about the elusive why. I don’t know the answer, but it is a line of inquiry that interests me.
