There is such thing as pain. My experience tells me so. Influence is also part of the game.
Now we are going into the new age spy op area that has been laid out to leverage personal power away while allowing the carnage to continue while we're here.
These justifications are very predictable and I have seen them all before as byproducts of new age belief systems.
Again substitute animals for your own children and tell me your direct experience when it's moved a bit closer to home.
As far as my alignment goes?
Gandhi or new age philosophies that allow for slaughtering of innocent animals while covering over the carnage with notions of 'well we get to come back for more so we can eternally enjoy the carnage again and again and again.
