Animals Are our Masters

It is no secret that our planet is slowly but surely getting extinct due to poor management and neglect.The current Energy sources used are indeed threatening life on Earth. How come we human beings, as smart as we are, are killing all life forms including ourselves?As human beings we are simply neglecting our home, Earth, and leading it to Death.How come Animals, the so called inferior species, are smarter than us human beings? They simply are...Not only animals do not make our mistakes but also, their nature is far more perfect than ours since they do not develop disease like we do.A tiger, an endangered species, is smarter and more noble than any human being, yet a tiger is treated as a threat to humans...A horse, a lifetime companion, knows that humans are so stupid, yet a horse allows humans to ride him/her and is treated as a slave...A dog, a human's best friend, protects humanity from itself, yet a dog is treated as a simple domestic animal...All these animals are masters, and instead they are treated as inferior and as our slaves...

I'll jot down some thought: Hope it's relevant to you.

A comparison of the life of animals and humans is interesting. The title of this blog is, all seriousness, provoking.
In an ultimate sense, animals are not our masters, that would be God, if you are happy at this time, with the word God. In a more immediate sense, it seems that we humans are the masters of animals.
A dog is said to need a firm master, being happier , with one who is not confusing them.

But in a very real sense, animals are our masters. I say because animals obey their nature. It's hard for them to do otherwise; so they are evolving spiritually, their karma yoga is natural, easy, gradual; they are on the right side of Natural Law. Then, they are the representatives of that Law, that Lawgiver.

Due to the capacity of humans to exercise free will with respect to our thinking capacity, we have greater capacity for accelerated evolution and conversely, the capacity to abuse it, ourselves and others, simply through ignorance and ego. That's abuse because ego is not ourselves, and it is our job to realise and obey our real spiritual selves (the reason we are given our capacity), our self not ego based upon identification of personal belongings and unnatural obedience to our own bodies. So, we in selfish ignorance obey our ego, whereas animals obey Natural Law.

Whereas an animal obeys it's first thought, according to nature, we ignore our first thought, in obedience to fear, greed, status, body (ego), and lose our conscience. That's an abuse of our higher insight, which gives us the ability to spiritually evolve. Everything is governed by Natural Law, of which our earthly Rule of Law, is a mirror, until corrupted.
Our society's, and personal Rules of Law, include sanctions permitting the enjoyment of all that is given to us, without greed and destruction of the same; All natural gifts. It's the Gifts of Nature that sustain us, not massive Industrial Enterprises.
We continue to live foolishly, slavishly economically enslaved to a system that is destructive of ourselves, our children, and all around. I say continue, but it's rather recent in terms of history. It's not about the environment per se, but how we live. Animals aren't making mistakes there, but merely suffering what we heap upon them; We are, daily as individuals and as the public body. We are given words as tools, and unfortunately, we have recently experienced a Revolution in Dumbing Down, and misinformation. It's hard to put a sane message across, for the public good.

We are divided in every which way, especially through a mistaken notion of secularism. Instead of a multi-faith society, it's taken to mean governance of the material world in separation form spirit. As if the two were or could ever be seperate! There's in it's place a naive belief that all the problems we create can be solved with new technology. Forget it!
Ensuing attacks upon religion, or religous debate, haven't helped. A retreat to inner self, and a goal of self liberation, with new age spirituality doesn't and cannot help each other to live in this world. Spirit and its potencies is inner and outer, unconfined. So you discover you are a god or godess inside, congratulations! So are demons. You still use toilet paper don't you? You still think it's dirty to wipe you bum with your hand, don't you? You won't get a bidet. You still buy energy-saving bulbs instead of going to bed at night and getting up at dawn. Some unique godess! The same as anyone one else. Are you going to say to your employer get a bidet, or 'm not coming to work? You should, if you're valued for who you are. I could go on.

We are living for ourselves often as slaves to an unhealthy system. We're frightened or feel powerless to stand up to it. We have children to support too, and we love them so much more than those generations to come, or the kittens they play with. And if we don't pull in a wage , we'll lose our home, or the children through divorce on demand. Animals don't live in such a disgraceful spiritual atmosphere. Perhaps that's why we are so spellbound to see a tiger, which is fearless.

Religions are a common, public spiritual good, and have always taught that we are stewards in the immediate natural world; without a common spiritual dimension to public life, and without being happy with frugal lives, sharing the bounty with all, we have a disgraceful, idiotic, competitive ethos, and we are powerless to end it (end note: It's not competition that brings excellence, but a spirit of loving, selfless service. Bad service loses out to the competition).
