Re: why do animals have to eat meat??
Jackie,
Both the species of animals and humans living on the planet right now reflect and bring forth some of the distortions that have existed for many throusands of years. It is no coincidence that animals kill other animals, humans kill animals, animals kill humans, and humans kill humans, for food or other reasons. We are now facing the pain that has resulted from eons of disharmonious relationships. There was a time when animals and humans lived in total peace with one another. If an animal were to kill another animal it asked permission to do so, for the betterment and sustenance of the world, and ecological balance. Lions and gazelles used to live together without fear. Animals used to communicated telepathically. Many species of animals were sustained by other sources of nourishment than food. So were humans. This was sat-yuga, the Golden Age.
Our time today is characterized by low frequency activities and behavior that require dense foods with slow, heavy energies. This allows people and animals to deal with their unhappy experiences from their own past lives. The almost daily slaughering of billions of animals for food is painful for all animals. THey feel it and they speak about it to humans that can hear and feel them. Some animals react by trying to kill humans, or at least bite them, others decide to leave the planet altogether. The killing of hundreds of millions of cows during the mad cow disease outbreak and the same now happening with poulty is part of the mass departure. Animals feel cheated. They feel there is no honor and purpose in their existence. Many animals don't mind dying for "a good cause," like in the wilderness. Their souls part and move into the light without much trauma when their bodies are torn apart by a lion. But many get trapped and remain in fear and trauma when killed in slaugherhouses. Humans don't ask for permission or understanding when they kill an animal. For mankind to move on to the next level, the deep conflicts between the animal kingdom and humans must be healed. There is a great effort on behalf of humans now to create bridge between the two worlds. Many animal souls now incarnate as pets, and so the healing takes place through the exchange of love. More needs to be done, though, the end the fear among animals. When the world stops killing animals, we will know that we will have once again paradise on earth. Life will foremost of all be spiritual (run by spirit), and phsyical only to the degree to allow us to express ourselves in a physical form. The vibration of the body will be so high that it won't require dense foods and it will function and move according to will, not gravity or other forces.
Plant foods have a natural agreement with the animal world (including humans) to be eaten in order to sustain themselves. The seeds in fruits and vegetables would come along with the feces and go back into the earth, fertilized. Plants don't fear being eaten by animals, birds or humans. Their overlighting soul structures actually encourage it. The bright colors of fruits and veggies attract those who need them to live. Animals on the other hand, especially females, try to camouflage themselves to avoid being eaten.

When they are ready to vibrate at a higher note, they will naturally be attracted to higher-frequency foods.
