The Sacred Science – watch it free until October 17th

Dear Friends of Divine Earth,

As you know, our mission at Divine Earth is to spread the wisdom of holistic living and living in accord with nature. To this end I encourage you to take some time to watch The Sacred Science. This intriguing documentary follows the lives of 5 people with varying illnesses as they take a leap of faith and journey deep into the Amazon to meet with curanderos, healers that use the healing power of nature. These shamans are keepers of ancient knowledge that has been passed down in a lineage that spans centuries. Today their way of life and the sacred medicines of the jungles are being threatened by urban sprawl and deforestation.

6 Minute Video Reveals Mindless Human Eaters

http://www.filmsforaction.org/watch/without_saying_a_word_this_6_minute_short_film_will_make_you_speechless/

In this excerpt from the documentary Smasara, you’ll witness 6 minutes of shame for the human race.

I find it deeply disturbing that mankind would misuse its intelligence to create apparatuses that diminish the quality of life for animals simply to expedite the killing process. The fact that we continue to create more and more horrific weapons to kill even our own species shows our lack of respect for life. I hereby withdraw my association with the human race. I am now just an animal. Kill an animal and you kill me. Eat an animal and you eat me. For those of conscience, please consider the chain of suffering involved to bring a piece of meat to your plate. You are part of that chain. Is it worth it? Don’t blindly answer this question with an autonomic response. Enter your consciousness into the inquiry. Can you imagine a humanity that cares about the welfare of all sentient beings? It seems like we are taught not to care, that it is acceptable to drop depleted uranium bombs, that we can slaughter animals for our own culinary pleasure, that we can destroy and waste the earth’s resources. What a message we are sending to the children of this world who will inevitably grow up to accept and repeat the same atrocities. You want a better world? Become more conscious and deepen your compassion for life! Then encourage others and help them to get out of their apathy so that the human race can blossom into becoming the humane race that we were meant to be. – Sevaji

The Case for Vegetarianism Explained by a Child

I am so touched by the beauty of this child. He recognizes what so many people try to ignore, that animals are sentient beings and there is no reason to eat flesh and cause such suffering. Children, if they are explained what they are eating, are usually horrified by the very idea of causing the death of a pig or cow to simply put a section of a corpse on your plate. The Earth is abundant with so many vegetables, nuts, grains, and fruits. Why kill? This must have a profoundly underestimated effect on the consciousness of a child which stays with them into adulthood, desensitizing them to others’ suffering.
