Are Cows Really Mad?
Mother Earth (Gaia) through Pepper Lewis - May 2001

Are Cows Really Mad? If, so who are they mad at? If cows are mad, are other animals mad, too? Many questions such as these are being contemplated at this very moment, some with mild concern and others with apprehension and fear. Exploration of this subject and its related issues may help you to determine the relativity of these events in your life.

Cows are not really mad, as a matter of fact they are not even angry. They are, however, disconnected, disoriented, distressed, diseased, and dishonored by humanity. Cows are gentle beings as you know. They were brought here long ago in genetic stasis as were sheep and other animal beings. Their genes were combined with other common genetic material already available here on Earth. It was foreseen that humans would desire or require sources of biological sustenance beyond what was available at the time in order to survive. Not all animals which are presently consumed by humans were included in this initial thought and many of your animal companions arrived at different times and from different sources.

Meeting History Face to Face

Humans were never destined to become carnivores or omnivores as you are today. Before what has collectively been called "the fall", the human body was not as solid as it is today. This allowed you many more choices in the care and maintenance of your beautiful bodies. Physical age of the body or longevity upon the planet was also a choice, not a question. Many of you manifested bodies of light that did not require food. Instead, they required light and sound vibrations which their souls and oversouls provided. I welcomed these beings and nourished them as they found replenishment in the salted waters of the seas while the sun bathed them in rays of sunlight. Skin cancers and other modern day phenomena did not exist because these beings were in divine and perfect balance with all of the elements in their environment, do you see?

As the earth became populated by beings from many different worlds, more body types and different density patterns became available, some by mutation and others by choice. Now there were beings whose only need for sustenance was light, and others whose only sustenance was breath. There were also beings whose worlds of origin included the consumption of watery plant materials. My kelp beds and seaweed grasses did not adequately meet the nutritional needs of these beings. Rather than leave the planet altogether they were able to adapt over a period of time to what today you would call a vegan lifestyle.

Several factors have contributed to human changes in lifestyle and eating habits. It is true that certain times in your historic past have made personal survival as well as survival as a species a possibility rather than a probability, but the same can be said of your current time period, do you see? There have always been choices and options. In fact, there have been more choices than you now imagine. Each choice brought with it several different decisions and some of these involved leaving the Earth for good. Why is that? Because by then, to make a long story very, very short, a decision had been made that the earth would receive assistance from beings of very great light in order that it would break through the cycle of third dimensional incarnations and become a fifth dimensional world.

Each person who now reads these words was present upon the earth at that time. Each of you made a decision to become a part of the earth's body at that time, a partner in a spiritual movement that included oneness with body, mind and spirit. It included the opportunity to discover self and selflessness, as well as responsibility for what appeared to be outside of you. Your experience and your destiny became tied to mine. Have you not wondered why our bodies are composed of so many of the same elements, why we both respond to the ocean tides and the movement of other celestial bodies? Your salted tears are a reminder of this decision as is the ocean's ability to renew your hopes and dreams.

A promise was made, we swore an oath to one another. My solemn promise to you was to hold you in highest esteem throughout our journey regardless of what experiences our third dimensional world would bring. I promised to sustain you physically, to feed and clothe you and provide an ambient temperature in which you could thrive. I promised to be aware of your needs and desires and to communicate with you in a language that you could understand. For a long time our language was that of the seasons, we spoke to one another through the whisperings of the trees in autumn and in the burst of color in early spring. In the silence of winter we contemplated one another and silently renewed our vows.

You also swore an oath of the heart, do you remember it now? Your promise was to allow your light to shine no matter what. You did not make this promise blindly and it was not coerced from you. Your promise was to have an experience of the past, the present and the future until they become one. Your promise was to make your path, your journey and your destination one with mine. As of this writing 87% of you have maintained your promise and have already awakened from the slumber that yet clouds the eyes of those who remain asleep. Another 10% are in the process of awakening with the assistance of many beings of light including yourselves. That leaves 3% who are still unconscious and have not welcomed the multidimensional energetic probabilities that currently exist.

Unawakened human beings are simply that, they are asleep at the wheel as your saying goes, but it is the wheel of life. They are in struggle but their battle is with themselves. It is not with you and it is not with me, it is not even with All That Is. Their fight is of their own making and their foe is an invisible one, it is called FEAR. Their fear is not yours and yet your collective reality calls you to participate in a game that you have already won. That is why many of you are bored and feel complete and integrated or are close to becoming so. Your remaining unawakened brothers and sisters (many of these are your family members) are being subjected to a tremendous amount of light at this time. They are being bombarded from within and without. Some of them have allowed themselves to contract diseases and illnesses and would rather make their exit painfully rather than in ecstasy. It is their choice, but it is also your concern and mine because they are a part of us, do you see?

Experiences are now manifesting in all realities that will cause all beings upon the planet to sit up and take note. All beings means individual humans as well as collective realities such as species of animals, flowers, trees, and even minerals such as gold and diamonds. Fear will continue to be exposed until it festers and becomes raw or is transmuted by peace, love and balance. Empowerment through choice and sovereignty through stewardship will continue to be offered to those who are misaligned, misguided or simply refuse to see what is put before them. Each day will bring an opportunity or a challenge and each choice will bring either balance or fear. Prophecies hidden within prose colored contradictions will be offered as an explanation for many of the world's concerns. Will you choose to participate in the ills and woes of your society or will you purposefully choose to create a reality based upon compassion, truth, and peace? The choice is yours.

Moving Through the Present

Your choices are no different than that of other kingdoms of the earth. They are also your brothers and sisters. They are conscious and sentient, and subject to the same opportunities and choices as their human counterparts. You have come to accept and delight in the fact that dolphins and whales are here to assist you and can communicate with you on various levels and frequencies. Do you believe cows are lesser beings because they have offered themselves to you as food upon your table or as an overcoat to keep you warm or given their milk to feed a hungry child?

Cows were brought here to interact with you and to be of assistance to you in various ways including offering themselves to you as a means of sustenance (survival) if another was not available. Beef was never meant to be the main ingredient in your diet, only a means to foster continuous survival of the human species. The human body has adapted to include increased volumes of meat consumption as well as the ability to digest it without causing the body undue stress, but this adaptation does not include the ability to process new hormones, bacteria or other dis-ease causing matter.

Cow milk, though not wholly compatible with human nutritional needs has also been available as a substitute for mothers who cannot provide an adequate supply of their own human breast milk to their young ones. There are many other substitutes that are better sources of human infant nutritional needs. Cow hides have proved to be an excellent source of material for clothing and other accessories. Hides have been used to provide shelter and have also made various other tools possible. Always have the intentions of these semi-domesticated beings been honorable, their gentle ways have assisted humanity for over a millennia. What has happened? Where did things gone wrong? What is this dis-ease and can it be healed?

The dis-ease that continues to claim the lives of many cows as well as threaten one of the largest industries in the world is known by many names. Currently, only a few of these names are known to you because those who are in charge of distributing the information have specific instructions not to create a worldwide panic. It is safe to say that you have not been provided with all of the facts or been told how far reaching the effects of an epidemic would be. There are conflicting opinions as to the most efficient way of handling this issue. Some ideas include drastic measures such as destroying entire populations of animals in affected areas, however, all areas are affected and many world economies depend upon these animal beings for their economic survival at a time when productivity is already at an all time low. Those who have most to lose are not in positions of power and it will not matter whether or not they consider this a viable option. Other ideas include allowing exports of possibly contaminated beef to other countries whose inspection methods do not compare to the more sophisticated European and American ones. Outbreaks of related off-shoot illnesses will soon negate this possibility. Each time an alternative is considered, the dis-ease will mutate. It will continue to cross all boundaries, physical ones as well as scientific and medical boundaries of knowledge. The dairy industry has already been affected and outer expressions of its effects upon human health will soon be apparent. As with all other illnesses, there are cures and alternatives which can render the effects of this disease virtually non-existent, but humanity has yet to embrace these.

Back to the Future

The path will now narrow for some and broaden for others. Those who still refuse to find partnership with the earth and its kingdoms will find their world to be one of illness, disease and lack. Each day and each meal will be filled with anxiety, apprehension and fear rather than anticipation, desire and joy. The gentle beings you call cows have offered themselves as one of the first beings to choose extermination and annihilation rather than continue to contribute to the demise of your health or subject themselves to the unconscious behavior of those who manage and control them. They are aware and are closely connected to all of the other elements and kingdoms within the scope of the earth. That is to say, they are aware that entire populations of plant and tree species have been removed from their homes in the rain forests of Central America in order to make room for more cattle. These beings intend to bring awareness to humanity in ways that all of your petitions, pleas and decrees have been unable to do. Cows are not mad, they are conscious objectors in a war that is not of their making.

What happens next? It will depend upon the response to this issue and to others which will be presented shortly. It is by choice and not accident or coincidence that the European continent was selected as the first to display this phenomena en masse. European countries were among the first to disconnect themselves from the sentience of these gentle beings until they became relegated to little more than consumable beasts of burden. Their disease, however, cannot be confined to one country or one continent because it is destined to bring global awareness in many ways. If their global call to action does not bring significant awareness and swift change the disease will continue to mutate, manifesting itself in various other forms.

These gentle beings have the full support of the kingdoms of the earth and carry the blessing of the elemental worlds which weave the kingdoms together into one. It is not glad tidings but dire circumstances that call them to action. The desire to awaken and reunite with humanity is strong and is long overdue. There are other animal beings that have already volunteered to be next if need be, for they also offer themselves upon your meal tables daily. Do not think of these events as the rebellion of the animal kingdom, it is quite the opposite. They are demanding in your name what you do not ask in your own.

Must you eliminate meat from your diet? This is an individual choice and each being will be guided appropriately. Your health is a by-product of the balance which exists in your environment. Your own awareness will guide you and the decisions you make will be honored by the animal kingdom because your decision will have been made with conscious attention and conviction. Attune yourself to the animal kingdom so that it will advise you when caution is appropriate. Ask that gratitude be your first thought upon sitting at your supper table. Raise a glass or a hand in prayer or acknowledgment for what these gentle beings are attempting to impart. Ask for a blessing in the name of the animal kingdom and be in gratitude for the being that gave its life to provide your meal. Ask that your body welcome and transmute any energy which is not attuned to your own body and that any discordant or toxic energy pass through your body gently until it is eliminated.

The health and welfare of your European neighbors is tied to your own, bound by honor and choices already made. You are not separate from them and their plight is your own. Your nation's economy is complex and intrinsically connected to many other economies including that of Europe regardless of whose face appears on each unit of exchange. It is no longer possible for humanity to ignore a national disaster because it takes place upon a foreign shore, soon enough it will be lapping up on your own shores. Disasters of worldwide proportion will draw worldwide attention if need be.

What is the answer? Connect or reconnect if need be with the aspect of your awareness which is one with every other living being upon and within the earth. Allow this awareness to reach across the shores of the Atlantic until you feel yourself touching your neighbor, be it an animal, a tree, a stone, a human being or a blade of grass. Welcome this being into your heart and acknowledge your oneness and brotherhood with this being. Offer tidings of peace and health and ask that these tidings be carried aloft to others as well. Make your path a sacred one by respecting all beings and all kingdoms even if their path is different from your own. Allow each being to decide gently and compassionately for themselves whether they will choose to remain in this dimension or will choose an experience elsewhere. Assist those who choose to depart in doing so with grace, dignity and honor. Walk with clarity and conviction in a truth that can no longer be swayed by winds of change or challenge. Meet adversity with awareness, conflict with care, and callousness with caution. Be peace where there is none and continue to offer your hand in friendship even in the face of fear and doubt. Allow the balance and stability of the earth to sustain you one breath at a time, one heartbeat at a time. Allow all hearts to beat as one for indeed they are one.
