Animal Evolutionary Consciousness Through the Diverse Religions I

Overview of the Existence of an Animal Evolutionary Consciousness

“Humans are amphibians - half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time.” ~C. S. Lewis

Many folktales and legends refer to the ancestral eras of fables that portrays the time when the "myth" of the coexistence of man and animal were a genuine expression of religious emotion. From the conception of the ancient Sphinx, summarizing the characteristic of the four noble animals as the four mighty Cherubs[1], protectors of Creation, to the shape-shifting of the old Gods of Greek and the animal-shaped Gods of the Hindu pantheon; we see our animal partners as active elements of an ageless and integral understanding of spirituality.

The opening of Imaginary of men saw the archetypal myths engraved in patterns in the sky. These myths were told according with the movement of the stars and/or entire constellations. The Denderah[2] zodiac in Egypt and the Babylonian sky mapping tell us how relevant were the animals to explain and categorize these myths. In the open chapters of the Bible, in Genesis, it is spoken clearly of no powerful and privilege domain from the essential part of Men toward other elements of creation, but instead it announces the covenant of God with men, with the birds, the creatures and all the beasts of the earth, they are with us during this cycle of creation.

[1] Cherubim are mentioned in the Torah (five books of Moses), the Book of Ezekiel, and the Book of Isaiah. They are also mentioned in the books of 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, and 2 Chronicles mainly in the construction of the House of God. They are also mentioned extensively in the Psalms. There is only one mention in the New Testament, in Hebrews 9:5, referring to the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant. NOTE: The two cherubim placed by God at the entrance of paradise (Gen. iii. 24) were angels created on the third day, and therefore they had no definite shape; appearing either as men or women, or as spirits or angelic beings (Genesis Rabbah xxi., end).

[2] The zodiac is a planisphere or map of the stars on a plane projection, showing the 12 constellations of the zodiacal band forming 36 decant of ten days each, and the planets.

Swami Vivekananda was a horrific Hypocrite! He constantly sacrificed terrified sweet loving divine innocent Animals in Ritual Animal Sacrifice to blood and gore murderous blood~lusting “goddess” Kali… so did his illiterate guru Ramakrishna daily, as his “worship” of vile blood~drenched blood~lusting demonic Kali! Ramakrishna and Vivekananda practiced the Left~Hand Path which included many kinds of gruesome rituals, and eating human flesh, and eating human feces etc as “worship”! Wicked Ego~Maniac Loud~Mouth Swami Vivekananda proclaimed that every Hindu Temple should perform horrific evil bloody diabolical Animal Sacrifices which he loved to do! {Animal Sacrifice is called Bali in Hindi.} Swami Vivekananda ate every type of meat, including beef all the time… he would scold any devotee that he visited that did not offer him bloody cruel meat! This is against all laws protecting India’s Holy Cows and against all Hindu Ahimsa rules of loving~kindness towards ALL Animals and Beings! *** When asked what kind of person that Swami Vivekananda admired the most, he said: ” That person who kills Cow and then eats the whole Cow in glee… that is the kind of person I admire the most!.” These diabolical meat~eating Animal~Sacrificing so~called “swamis” and bloody cruel “holy~men” and other such people are Rakshashas/Demons… of a Demonic nature… as stated in Hindu sacred Texts Scriptures! *** I am cruelty~free in all of my daily choices and actions, as a raw organic vegan fruitarian and a very pure meditative mystic of loving~kindness towards All~Life and Mother Earth! In these modern times very *Few* are actually good and noble cruelty~free… not even so~called “holy people”… or just people of genuine true loving~kindness… there are Very *Few!* Exploiting or eating or harming or slaughtering or enslaving any Spiritual Divine Animal or Creature is Demonic and Evil and Barbaric … and it is no different from doing the same thing to any human child, woman or man! *** ALL Divine Animals and Creatures are FAR more Spiritually Advanced and Wise and Good, than most All of the bloody selfish cruel wicked human species! The West is given lies and propaganda about what Ramakrishna and Vivekanada and their “order” really are!
