Our world, what a wonderful and magnificent place it is. There is beauty every where you look - at the ocean, at the birds, at the trees in your beautiful animal companions eyes.
But you really can see how this world is tied up by karma. Sometimes, you just can not help - no matter what you do, what you offer, what you give of yourself - the karma of this world
at times is too much. You really do feel like your hands are bound by love.
It was not until very recently, with many courses of actions that has developed in this world did I really see this. Knowingly, I had this inclination that this world does all it can to keep you tied to the negative, or to the material.
I went through a period in my life where all was lost. I mean, all of this worldly aspects were lost to me. Nothing made sense, and everywhere I looked I saw sorrow.
It was sad; sad to see and feel all the suffering around me. And for a long time, this went on.
Through this period, I tried what I could to help - but it always seemed that there was something stopping me. Something constantly holding the progress back. I wasn't sure what it was - because I was physically exhausted for a long time.
Over time, things got better and I understood more. Only through these experiences though did the world make sense.
But now - something new has occurred that opened my eyes even more....
Not only does leading a plant based diet help reduce global carbon emissions (as reported the livestock industry accounts for over 51% of Global Greenhouse Gases); through your actions of saving lives you are uplifting your soul and the planets vibration. Making it a more harmonious place to live.
Recently, a sibling is going through hard times. I told him that I would be his personal chef and help him get better. I knew that by him changing his diet - it would put him in a much better place and probably even avert surgery for him.
Not even this offer; not even the fact that he is in poor physical condition is this enough for him to change his ways. I stopped and thought about this, and realised that in this world - at times, our hands are really tied. There is not much we can do - but try our best day in day out.
Oh well, at least enjoy the video.
