Go Vegetarian or the World Will Go Hungry













The days when those of us who don’t eat meat are in the minority could be numbered and sooner than you think. New research by scientists from the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) says that, unless the world’s population switches to a diet the is almost completely vegetarian over the next forty years, there will be “catastrophic” food shortages.

The reason? Water scarcity.

According to SIWI’s research, humans today derive 20 percent of their protein from animal-based products and one-third of the world’s arable land is used to grow crops to feed animals.

But protein-rich food from animals consumes five to ten times more water than a vegetarian diet does. If humans only derived 5 percent of their protein from animal-based products, there would be “just enough water,” say the scientists.

Widespread Food Shortages and Social Unrest

With the global population expected to grow by 2 billion by 2050 — to total 9 billion — massive food shortages are predicted, a situation exacerbated by the earth’s increasingly erratic climate. Already, “nine hundred million people already go hungry and 2 billion people are malnourished in spite of the fact that per capita food production continues to increase,” the scientists note.

Therefore, feeding 2 billion more people “will place greater pressure on available water and land” with ramifications for political and social unrest. In 2008, food shortages were the reason for civil unrest in 28 countries.

The United Nations and Oxfam have issued warnings that a second global food crisis could occur in the next five years. These fears have been heightened due to the severe droughts in the US and Russia that have meant prices for corn, wheat and soy are up by 50 percent.

There’s Only So Much Water

Competition between using water for food production and other needs will only grow, say the SWIW scientists:

The UN predicts that we must increase food production by 70% by mid-century. This will place additional pressure on our already stressed water resources, at a time when we also need to allocate more water to satisfy global energy demand – which is expected to rise 60% over the coming 30 years – and to generate electricity for the 1.3 billion people currently without it.

Vegetarianism is Hardly New

Pointing out that Gandhi and Einstein were vegetarians, as was the ancient writer Plutarch, aGuardian editorial says

Being a vegetarian can carry with it an oppressive aura of smugness, as each day being a carnivore gets a bit more like smoking – an act that is not only self-destructive but damaging the rest of the world too. …Going veggie is the only sane response.

It’s also not nearly as difficult, or as “weird,” to be a vegetarian as when I decided to stop eating meat thirty years ago. As Lagusta Yearwood writes in the Guardian, many cultures around the world have long traditions of meatless cuisine:

When kings and queens were busy dying from gout because of their overly rich diets, housewives in Sicily were making luscious caponata from aubergines and celery in a sweet and sour marinade; women in Oaxaca were wrapping corn dough around roasted chilies, seeds, and vegetables to make tamalesfilled with mole sauces; cooks in Egypt were frying onions in precious olive oil and topping their lentils and rice with them to make koshari; women in Africa were pounding peanuts to make rich stews laced with fresh greens and spices..

Eating vegetarian “tastes good and it does you good,” says the Guardian. This should be — along with ethical concerns about the conditions in which animals are raised and slaughtered — reason enough to forego meat.

The SWIW’s research shows why, before we know it, vegetarianism will not be a matter of choice but absolutely necessary in order to feed every mouth around the world.

David Wilcock: Will There Be a ‘Quantum Awakening’ in December 2012?

2012 AUGUST 30
Posted by Stephen Cook

David Wilcock: Will There Be a ‘Quantum Awakening’ in December 2012?

Stephen: My answer: of course there will!!!

This is the latest post from David in which he gives a synopsis of, and talks about the reasoning behind, many of his previous, comprehensive articles and books he has written in recent times.

While I don’t agree with the questioning nature of the title of his post (because, as I say, I ‘know’ there will be a ‘quantum awakening’ in December this year because it is already underway…), the highlight for me in this newest Divine Cosmos article is David’s complete transcript, with images, of his personal reading, entitled ‘Wilcock Reading by the Source – December 1st 2011′.

In this reading, David let’s us know what his guide(s) said about what December 21, 2012 will bring… Below is an excerpt from this section of the update.

As usual, please head to the Divine Cosmos blog to read David’s entire update: http://divinecosmos.com/start-here/davids-blog/1078-2012shift

Will The Be A ‘Quantum Awakening in December 2012?

By David Wilcock, Divine Cosmos – August 28, 2012

http://divinecosmos.com/start-here/davids-blog/1078-2012shift

Selected excerpt from section titled ‘It Will Be Easier for the Mortal Mind to Reach Oneness After December 21, 2012′:

The overarching desire is for the mortal mind to reach Oneness. You will find this is increasingly coming into your grasp.

It shall not be as difficult to do this, after December 21, 2012 or thereabouts, as it is now.

This is one of the fundamental realities that we can share with you.

The sense of inspiration will be different.

The sense of purpose. The sense of knowingness. The sense of inevitable reunion with the Divine.

All of this will have decisively changed.

Karma and Ascension – Part 1 – Karma is for Our Education

2012 AUGUST 29
Posted by Steve Beckow

One of the more difficult topics to deal with, I find, is karma. Long-time readers will know that I shy away from examining karma because it seems impossible from a Third-Dimensional perspective to know what’s actually occurring.

Yet karma and Ascension is a topic that needs to be looked at and so I do so in a series of articles here.

Many people consider karma to be punishment for “sins.” We get what we deserve. We get what’s coming to us, and so on. We often say “I’ll fix you” or “I’ll show you a lesson” and we have in mind simple vengeance. Viewed from this perspective, karma becomes God’s vengeance on humans.

My understanding is that karma is a method of teaching. What does it teach? Well, behavior that more and more nearly approaches the Divine. After all, the purpose of life, as far as I know it, is to know our true nature or essence, to know ourselves as God – or, if that offends you, as a child of God or a spark of God.

In my view, that purpose has been given us by the Creator so that the purpose of creating life itself – that God should meet God in a moment of enlightenment – can be achieved. We’re tasked with uncovering our true identity so that God can meet God in a moment of enlightenment – our enlightenment.

Karma is one of the principal means of teaching us how to be God. To be God is to know God, many sages say. When we harm another, karma sees that we are treated in a similar way so that we can feel what the situation is like. We usually don’t like it and stop harmful behavior. When we treat others compassionately, the law sees to it that the same treatment is extended to us. In both cases, karma teaches us.

If I’m correct, then we can imagine that the reason we’re told that a lot of karma stops when we ascend to the Fifth Dimension is that that ascent will enlighten and educate us to such a degree that many unlearned lessons will now be learned.

Moreover, we’re also told that much residual karma will be forgiven by the Law of Grace. When a mass Ascension occurs, the karma that might have been left over does not accompany us. We start afresh, as it were. But viewed from another perspective, we learn our lessons from the ascent itself and so our “lesson curriculum” is, so to speak, satisfied.

Let’s listen to the galactics, ceslestials and ascended masters discuss the subject to see if we’ve understood the matter so far.

Karma is for Our Education, not Our Punishment

The Creator granted us freewill and the higher beings we deal with honor that fact, as SaLuSa explains:

“Your freewill is paramount in any decision you make, and is fully honoured. There would be no point in granting freewill if others interfered in it and changed it.

“Nevertheless life is subject to the Laws of the Universe, and that is the only way in which it may be subject to limitation or change. You must bear responsibility for your actions where they interfere with the sovereignty of others. That is karmic law and it is absolutely just and fair. “(1)

The law of karma is often called the law of cause and effect because whatever we put out is brought back to us again, as Archangel Michael explains.

“Whatever energy you draw forth, qualify and direct out into the universe becomes your sole responsibility and will surely be returned to you some day, either in a positive or a negative form. This is the law of karmic cause and effect.” (2)

Karma is valuable, Ker-on of Venus says, because it “places people in situations for [experiences] that will further their understanding and uplift them.” (3) SaLuSa says that “each experience is considered as bringing a lesson for you.” (4) In the scheme of things, “every experience adds to your total consciousness, accumulated through all of your lifetimes.” (5)

We are not punished for our “sins,” SaLuSa tells us, but asked to endure the same situations that we’ve brought to others for their educational value.

“Whilst you are not punished for your ‘sins’ you do make reparations so that you fully understand the effect of them on other souls. This can be very deep and heart wrenching, but it is the only way to learn your lessons.” (6)

He adds that “any harm caused to others has to be understood and repaid in some way, and that is called Karma. It is not punishment, but self-realization of what it is to be responsible for your actions, thoughts and deeds.” (7)

He tells us that “karma can be viewed as either negative or positive.” (8) It teaches us how to be more godlike and as such could be seen as a great blessing. Or it could be seen negatively as punishment. He observes:

“There is a misconception sometimes that it is a form of punishment, and that is far from the truth. You elect to have certain experiences that enable you to overcome your weaknesses…. You all learn from each other, and none more so than the dark Ones.” (9)

We may be asked to experience some pretty miserable situations for our learning, SaLuSa explains.

“Life can be absolutely miserable, and lack the niceties that most other people have, but bear in mind that it is part of your experiences that you have undertaken. At different times you have lived in luxury and wielded power, but for balance in other lives you have experienced all different levels.” (10)

Our mistreatment of each other Matthew calls “the karmic ping-pong of man’s inhumanity to his fellow man.” (11) It goes on down the ages, very few people actually being aware of karma and learning the lessons it conveys.

Karmic lessons that are not learned in one lifetime are repeated in others until the lessons are learned, Matthew tells us.

“Karma is not necessarily different for each lifetime. At the evolvement level where karma exists, most often reincarnating is for another try to successfully complete the very same lesson that in other lifetimes, the soul’s personages chose to do but failed.” (12)

SaLuSa makes the same point: “Karma is often repeated because lessons are not learnt, and they will continue to confront you until you do.” (13) In light of this situation, he advises us to “make sure you do not repeat the same mistakes again, as you can be sure you will be tested again.” (14)

I haven’t very often seen karma discussed as keeping us on the path that leads back to God, but SaLuSa does mention it here: “The karma resulting from each life time is twofold, and firstly keeps you on the path back to the Light, whilst ensuring that you learn from your mistakes.” (15)

We usually think that karma only decides the evolutionary path of individuals but Matthew tells his mother that it determines the path of planets too.

Suzy Ward: Is karma the basis for the evolution of planets?

Matthew: Yes, it is, but on a scale that you could not comprehend. (16)

To be sure, the planet has completed its karma, but her inhabitants have not, Matthew says.

“Earth has completed her third-density karma, which is enabling her Ascension, and while every soul on the planet chose to do the same, many are lagging due to fear and its various expressions, such as greed, tyranny, brutality, resentment, prejudice, apathy, egotism—all third-density characteristics.

“It is our fervent prayer that these souls will respond to the ever-increasing Light beaming from afar, adding to that which you are generating on the planet.” (17)

Many of us don’t know about karma. Many have heard of it but give it little weight or thought. Many understand karma but inaccurately. Very few indeed understand how karma truly operates and of those fewer still put their knowledge to good use.

The law of karma assists us to return to God knowing our true nature by bringing the same actions to us that we mete out to others. It doesn’t reflect God’s lack of caring but it does reflect our own lack of understanding. But as we’ll find in the next article, all of this is about to change for those of us who’ve chosen Ascension and assimilated sufficient light to ascend.

Karma and Ascension – Part 2 – Karma and the Law of Grace

2012 AUGUST 30
Posted by Steve Beckow

This is the Last Lifetime to Learn Karmic Lessons

According to my understanding, the need to clear our karma up to the time of Ascension is not a reflection of an arbitrary strictness in morality. Ascension depends on our ability to accept and assimilate light so that we can survive in the Fifth Dimension’s rarified environment. And the balance achieved by learning the lessons of karma and addressing the polarization in our character is one of the factors that allows us to assimilate light.

Matthew Ward says that many people “during these waning days of duality” are “rushing to complete third density karmic experiences and attain the balance necessary for soul evolvement.” (1)

SaLuSa sees “this particular life” before Ascension as “so important to you, as it is the opportunity to … clear any remaining karma.” (2) He explains that “in these end times there are … many souls who are anxious to clear their karma, and have packed their life full of experiences.” (3) He tells us that “for many it is therefore a hectic time, particularly at a personal level.” (4)

He explains that “you can take on as much karma as you desire and clearly the quicker you can set it aside the quicker your spiritual progress.” (5) Although karma “is normally carried forward and comes about in a future lifetime,” he tells us that “karma can be cleared within the same life that it took place.” (6)

In fact SaLuSa says that in this lifetime we’ll see more “instant karma” than we ever have:

“In fact out of all your lives your present one will see more instant Karma, as you will not carry it forward with you to Ascension. So, Dear Ones, pay heed to your experiences and if they are for your evolution learn what they have to tell you.” (7)

As a result of our expanded state, SaLuSa advises us to “be careful now as to what you think, because as your creative powers increase you may not always wish for the outcome” (8) We might wonder what comes up to be cleared. SaLuSa explains that “what comes up will be anything that cannot be carried by you into the higher vibrations.” (9)

All Karma will be Released upon Ascension

After we have released as much karma as we can, if we are sincerely intending to ascend, God, through the Law of Grace, will relieve us of our remaining karma, our sources say. Let’s hear their explanation of how this last remaining period of the end times is likely to proceed.

“For most of you,” SaLuSa explains, “your karma … is coming to a close, as you have worked out many weaknesses through so many different lives.”(10) The Pleiadian High Council through Lauren Gorgo tell us that Ascension will allow us to “fully release from the realms of karmic creation.” (11) “All [will] celebrate this wonderful release from the treadmill of karma,” Saul predicts. (12)

Many situations like Earth changes or regional wars are here to help us clear our karma, SaLuSa explains.

“Coming out of your present cycle of duality you will not carry karma forward, which is why it must be cleared before you can ascend. The conditions are therefore in part necessary for souls to have the opportunity to do so.” (13)

Often we wonder why we’re called upon to suffer and think that God does not love us. SaLuSa responds:

“So often we hear you ask ‘why me?’ when something unpleasant occurs in your life, but think carefully about the lesson it is bringing to you. Also bear in mind that sometimes a soul will incarnate and bear the consequences to simply help another soul. We must therefore inform you again that there is no punishment involved, and God continues to love you unconditionally regardless of what you think.” (14)

On another occasion, he returned to this question.

“Life can seem cruel and very unfair, but remember that you have created your own reality. You cannot escape the Universal Law, but in no way are these in the form of punishment. In fact behind them is the great energy of Love and Light that is the life force of All That Is.” (15)

I imagine that no circumstances trouble us more than to watch other people suffer, but the galactics often say that these situations are happening for karmic clearing.

“You ask why we do not come to your aid now [in Somalia's famine] but please remember that all souls presently involved in the suffering, have at a higher level already accepted it as part of their experiences.

“As we so often point out, in such circumstances our intervention would be seen as interference, and denying them the experience they have undertaken. It does not mean you cannot help, and the reaction of others to their plight is also part of their experience.” (16)

Matthew explains why so much trauma is occurring in the Middle East. Because that situation is prominent and important, let’s listen to Matthew’s case at length.

“Underlying all of the death, destruction and tyranny in the Middle East is the extremely heavy karma being played out. Long before your recorded history, the inhabitants of those lands battled savagely for supremacy, and ancient blood permeated the earth. The resultant negativity had to be released in massive degree so Earth could move out of deep third density, and souls who lived in those early civilizations have returned time and again with the chosen mission to reduce the accumulated negativity. The inhabitants of those lands today came in for the same purpose, but this time, they are here to complete the release and achieve karmic balance as individuals and for Earth.” (17)

“Now, in the context of the universal continuum and multiple lifetime experiencing, what is happening in those countries is the winding up of the third density karma that started in ancient times and has been brought forward throughout the ages. In pre-birth agreements, today’s inhabitants chose to return specifically to participate in this balancing process for themselves and their lands to aid Earth’s ascension out of third density’s hotbed of darkness.

“Starting at a later time, the same is true of the nations in Africa where tyranny and bloodshed has long been a way of life. Understandably, the end of oppression and death in all of those areas will come more slowly than in countries without the need for that heavy karmic balancing.

“While life is no less traumatic for the affected populations on a conscious level, putting their living and dying in the karmic context permits the understanding of why that is continuing even as the light keeps intensifying.” (18)

Not only conditions in distant countries but also conditions closer to home exist to allow people the opportunity to learn their last lessons in Third Density, Matthew tells us.

“Please remember that some of what you see that is worrisome, even abhorrent to society—violence in any form; theft; drugged children and adults, whether by prescription or “illegally”; unjust laws and fraudulent convictions; growing numbers of homeless and unemployed; torture; school dropouts—is “perpetrators” and “victims” completing karmic lessons so they never again have to experience third density lifetimes.” (19)

We’re therefore asked not to judge situations without knowing the full story. He tells us:

“Try not to judge situations without knowing all of the facts, as you cannot know what is behind decisions that other souls take. Duality by its very nature is testing and bound to place you in difficult situations, and often it is for you to find ways of dealing with it. Be assured your life plan will take you wherever it needs to fulfill it.” (20)

SaLuSa tells us that, after we’ve done all we can, we’ll be released from our remaining karma by the Law of Grace.

“When you ascend karma will have been cleared by you or ‘written off’ through the Law of Grace.” (21)

“All ties will be cut and the Law of Grace will ensure that no karmic residue will travel with you. It will be the commencement of another cycle, but this time of Light without the interference of the dark Ones.” (22)

SaLuSa explains that turning to the Light invokes the Law of Grace.

“Through the Law of Grace you can be allowed to forego karma, providing you have turned to the Light. God is not unreasonable and fully understands your intent, and it is by evolving and proving that your progress has taken place in living your truth.

“The soul that has transgressed and found the path of Light and Love is greeted back as a long lost son. So do not be too concerned about your earlier life style, as it is the now that is important and whether you have truly set your sights on evolving to a higher level of consciousness.” (23)

Moreover, the Law of Grace “will come into being more so as you approach the end time,” SaLuSa explains. (24) So we can expect the law to impact us increasingly as we near the date of Ascension.

Thus this is the last lifetime in which to clear our karma and realize the tranquillity and balance that comes from moving away from polarization and resting in the center. It isn’t something that’s asked of us arbitrarily but a requirement of creating the ability to assimilate the needed light to survive in Fifth Dimensionality. Many of the appalling circumstances that exist at the moment are here to give people the opportunity to complete their karmic balancing. If we’re on the borderline and committed to ascend, what we cannot clear will be forgiven us by the Law of Grace.

(To be continued.)

Air Pollution, Carbon Decreased Last Year
















There is some good news when it comes to air pollution, a recent report found. Sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide emissions are declining. The report by the sustainability advocacy group Ceres analyzed 100 power producers across the U.S., and based its findings on generation and emissions data from the Energy Information Administration and the EPA.

Nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide emissions cause serious health effects. Nitrogen dioxide causes eye, nose, and throat irritation, according to the EPA. It can also cause impaired lung function and increased respiratory infections in young children. The primary sources are combustion processes. Short term sulfur dioxide, ranging from five minutes to 24 hours, is linked to respiratory problems including increased asthma symptoms. Power plants are the largest source (73 percent) of sulfur dioxide emissions.

In 2010, power plants were responsible for about 64 percent of sulfur dioxide emission, 16 percent of nitrogen dioxide emissions, and 40 percent of carbon emissions. However, that same year, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide emissions were 68 percent lower than they were in 1990, which the report attributes to programs implemented under the 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA). Both kinds of emissions continued to decrease in 2011 and 2012.

The power sector accounts for more carbon emissions than any other sector, including transportation. Carbon emissions increased by five percent between 2009 and 2010, but decreased by about five percent in 2011, which the report attributes to a “shift away from coal.” Coal-based electricity decreased by over six percent between 2010 and 2011.

During the same period, natural gas power generation increased by 25 percent. Electricity generation from natural gas fired plants is now virtually equal to generation from coal fired plants, with each providing 32 percent of total generation in April 2012.

Since January 2010, plant owners have announced retiring about 40 GW of coal plants or 12 percent of the country’s coal-fired plants due to “changing market conditions” which include the costs associated with new environmental requirements. That is not exactly good news as natural gas is a fossil fuel.

There is another bit of good news contained in the Ceres report. Renewable energy production more than doubled from 83 million megawatt hours (MWh) in 2004 to 195 million MWh in 2011.
