Thank you for your service 🇺🇲🇺🇲 to our country. Thank you for your service to humanity 💕. This was a deeply important message. The meat eating really helped me. I eat plant based diet, and supplements. I stopped eating meat/fish/chicken/eggs. My body degraded, I had no energy and lost so much weight (dangerous loss). It really isn't spiritual, to NOT eat meat. Be aware of the quality and listen closely to your own body and spirit as to when and what protein your own body needs/wants. Every topic was a GEM 💎,

Thank you, infinitely, for your time, effort, love… for sharing these session with us. I synchronistically happened upon the book series, which includes Sanaya Roman, around 2018. A while later I discovered your KZbin channel Suzanne; I was absolutely delighted to view your work. The book series and every post of yours have all resonated with me deeply since day 1. I’d also like to share that Sanaya is truly such a gift.. her presence is moving; pure Love. I always look forward to the bits of humor as well :) Thank you for all that you do Suzanne and friends

[@galileapaz3809]

Suzanne, first of all, I would like to thank you for your insights, words and your Messages of Hope!. I listen regularly your podcast in Unity online Radio. and always am looking forward for your videos in KZbin. Love them all!. Next I would like to mention that recently I heard on your podcast that somebody asked about the souls of animals we eat as food (I have thought about this recently, a lot) and I have to say that your response maybe gave me more questions than answers. In other countries people eat cats, dogs (which we consider animal companions), monkeys, dolphins etc (which we think culturally that is just a horrific idea) but after seeing a few videos of what our modern industrialized animal agriculture does with animals we consider food, I have a hard time to believe that a mother cow (just to give you one example of common current practices) has a spiritual purpose to be impregnated over and over during her productive life, just to have a baby, who we will take away right after he/she is born, just for humans to have her milk (who BTW, we are the only specie who drinks the milk of other specie when we are not babies). I have seen videos of mother cows crying for days for their new born calf, the calf crying for his/her mother and this is just one example of what the industrialized modern animal agriculture does with those souls. For the health point view, there is enough scientific evidence that our SAD (Standard American Diet) is the leading cause of numerous illnesses, for example, a study published in the June 2021 issue of Cancer Discovery sheds new light on how eating red meat may promote the growth of colorectal cancers, among others. In the other hand, the pollution and contamination that out current way of eating, is practically destroying the oceans (just google the term "By-catch") and our Mother Earth. My question is, how can I reconcile all these facts with a "common soul" of factory farmed animals who come to this earth to what it looks like a miserable short life on earth with my own soul's call for compassion for all beings?. Also, if I am correct, the Filmores, who are the founders of Unity's teachings, one of their principles says: “We believe that all life is sacred and that man should not kill or be a party to the killing of animals for food; also that cruelty, war, and wanton destruction of human life will continue so long as men destroy thought

[@cjphillips2716]

Galilea, Thank you so much for your input on this subject matter and speaking to your own truth. I too have listened to every podcast and seen much of her online platform here on u tube, as well as having read some of her books, and attended online workshops. She has an amazing talent to communicate with loved ones across the veil, and I’m grateful for her service to this county. I too work in civil service, so I understand much of her thought processes in regards to civilian life. I believe she battles with the addiction, as many do, to these animal products that do much harm to our “vessels” by continually day in and day out, consuming them. We have been conditioned to this after all, most of us our entire lives. I can envision her doing her daily meditation, transmitting it to the masses, then sitting down to breakfast with Ty and the pups nearby. The connect just isn’t there, it’s not malicious, it’s just those pups are adored while the ones on her plate and bowl do not hold the same worth. I pray for a farm animal to come into her life soon, I can see this changing her life. I’m so very thankful especially for your last few lines where you write about the Unity Ministry Principles. I hope it reaches someone and they are able to understand that this subject matter needed to be questioned. Please scroll down in these comments and read my second post and the responses I received. While the message is quite the same, my delivery is much different. But that’s out of my control. Also, here is a link I was guided to today. This is the true interpretation of what Jesus meant when he said we will have domain over the animals. Thank you for your share. www.adaptt.org/animal-rights/the-bible-jesus-and-veganism.html

[@gurpreetarora8507]

I also need answers to these type of questions

[@deirdresheridan5137]

Did you guys gear the part where she says to be thankful to the animal and not to abuse or cause harm? Yes our farming methods are intensive and destructive, I believe we need to return to small organic farming. Consume less, be thankful more and practice a mindful way of eating. If we were rearing the animals ourselves for our own tables we would treat them better and eat less meat. We think that we are so modern but we are disconnected from the land that produces our food and the birds and bees that keep it pollinated and fruitful.

[@love-light369]

As powerful Souls, we know that "human experiences of around 100 Earth years" are merely a "blip" in real "time"... And since it's "not real", our Soul knows that it will not be hurt as we feel here. Our minds wish to understand, but our heart's know. 💛💫💛 My mind still questions, too. 😘

[@love-light369]

@@Wisdom122 Oh, for sure... I'm fully aware that this is real for us, here & now, but in the greater awareness (as a Soul plans a human life) it has a higher/broader perspective. For example: a child can get very upset & act/feel as if life is over (bit dramatic!) if their favorite toy breaks, but as an adult, we can empathise in the moment & also be aware of the broader perspective that the toy can be replaced or that the child is able to move on to another toy. Maybe not the best example but what popped in! 💛💫💛

[@Ravenheart_]

Haha I definitely feel what you're saying, Liam. My father has a clinically diagnosable anti-social personality disorder. Extremely narcissistic, zero empathy, highly disagreeable, extremely violent, highly erratic, and zero character (completely dishonest, unrealiable, untrustworthy, and lacking any integrity). Commonly referred to as a sociopath. I'll leave it to the imagination what my house was like. I have a hard time believing that my soul was fully aware of exactly who my parents were gonna be. He single handedly destroyed my mother (awesome person), my two sisters, and myself. Unless the purpose of this life is to accrue suffering, so as to ultimately raise the level of love, compassion, and appreciation that the soul ultimately feels, then I don't yet grasp the point of it all. My best guess is that human incarnation is a character building exercise of sorts. I don't think that the higher realms are lying to us, it must just be the very nature of the soul to want to make progress towards a greater depth of feeling....and to do that...we have to take several thousands beatings, either figuratively, or very literally, depending on circumstances.

[@Wisdom122]

Sorry to hear that Ravenheart. Jesus, thst is tough. Sorry man. You understand very well what I mean. I had two very, very serious life problems in my 20s. These problems nearly pushed me over the edge a few times. I prayed and pleaded and screamed for help from my guides. No help came ( after 1 year asking !! ) No guardian angel. No higher solution. Silence. I am very angry and very hurt with my guides over this trauma in my 20s. I want their anwser when I connect with them. I am actually very spiritual and I love deep meditation. But, I have a love/hate relationship with my Guides at the moment. Very soon, I am sure I will connect with my Guides. My first question will be " Why did you abandon me when I needed help? "

You cannot eat meat and be spiritual - this is obviously an egoic message… how about if man chose to eat us? What about if he did it in a loving way? We would suffer… animals also suffer - they also know they are suffering. They have a prefrontal cortex which = self-awareness - they aren’t a “vessel” to consume There are no rights or wrongs - but there are spiritual and egoic acts - eating meat - causing undue suffering on another living being = egoic - not spiritual There is no “loving” killing - no loving powering over - not for egoic survival - but egoic pleasure We know we dont need meat to survive - we do it only for our own egoic, hedonistic pleasure

Hey Suzanne when you wake up, please watch a video on utube called “Earthling” narrated by Joaquin Phoenix. Then please explain how modern day factory farming and the over production of animal agriculture is what you and your guides consider “loving” to the abused animals or “vessels” as you refer to their bodies, or our Mother Earth, which we are also destroying with animal agriculture. It will one day eventually cause our much deserved extinction. As we too are also only animals….. Then, if you can handle it, please watch another documentary on Netflix called “Heal”. As your words are influencing sick people to become sicker now that your Sanaya said it was acceptable to eat meat. Animal protein consumption is the main source of all modern day chronic diseases AND historically deadly pandemic viruses (google it). This is mother nature’s way of giving us exactly what we deserve for the abuses we knowingly commit and for consuming the sick tainted meat, dairy, and eggs. And free range/humanly raised is no better if you’d care to do the research. And also keep in mind that the WHO (World Health Organization) now labels red meat as a “Class 1 carcinogen” that’s the same as asbestos and plutonium (go ahead eat up)…… In biblical times Shepard’s existed to care for the goats and sheep that provided for a village or tribe. The animals were lovingly cared for and nurtured. Protected from harm. That is no longer the case…. My guides brought me to this video to finally share this message with you in hopes it will spark change in at least one life. I pray that you at least find the videos and view them, and then maybe it will force you to look deeper within yourself. I too was once like you, far from perfect, but trying harder to be better than I was….. never stop learning, and do no harm.

[@owfan4134]

@@cjphillips2716 you guys are all completely missing the point. she never said it was "right to eat meat", she's simply illustrating a scenario where the concept of meat eating could be applied constructively. What about the starving child that needs food whose parent provides solely from the place of caregiver? What about the ancient pastoral families of antiquity that raised their livestock themselves, only consuming when absolutely necessary? Not only is this principle of providing nourishment for the child in an environment of scarcity a universal archetype found within nature on earth at every level, but also you could say it's one of the defining attributes. Does killing produce "karma"? Undoubtedly, yes... but it's specifically only an issue if the energy is rejected or mocked. The sacrifice of a life for the renewal of another is no small thing, and those who don't perceive this subtle implication are doomed to fall into the trap of consumerism simply as a result of the spiritual negligence of being aware of how our actions impact the world around us, who we are part and parcel. I'm sure you're completely right about all those documentaries and I know we both agree that animal slaughter as it exists today is nightmare-inducing, but you're so eager to cling to this emotion of indignancy that you missed the intent behind the words. "What makes a man impure, what goes into his mouth, or what comes out?" Do you think Jesus was a fan of animal sacrifice? The hallmark of service to self oriented individuals is their inherent, ubiquitous insistence that they know the truth and that others need to be reeducated accordingly. Each of us is here on our own personal "ascension path" or "life quest" or whatever you want to call it. No one gets away with anything, every action has a consequence because learning is the name of the game. But this goes for both you AND your enemies... have some compassion, friend. I know that's how you would feel if someone were commenting something like that on your video.
