Taylor Campbell4 said:Alright, fine—go ahead and love animals... 🙂 just don't tell me you're some kind of "animal lover" 😬

Look, I'm serious here—loving animals is perfectly fine—but once you mix in hypocrisy and fanaticism, it just becomes a load of nonsense. That's my take, anyway.

And honestly? I highly doubt you love animals more than I do. Besides, I’m not going to go after people for eating meat—it's what they eat, and I won't lecture them with mindless nonsense about it.

If I can, I'd much rather focus on actual societal issues and try to make a real contribution toward solving them—rather than wandering down blind alleys.

In my opinion, it's pure hypocrisy when meat-eaters claim to love animals. Sure, they love them—right before they're served on a dinner plate.👎

Taylor Campbell4 said:You have feelings, thoughts, and intuition.
Each successive layer is less clouded by illusions—intuition is purely truthful. Feelings, however, are practically nothing but falsehoods. For me, intuition isn't just a "feeling." Furthermore, there really isn't a hard line between thoughts and feelings—nobody can truly draw a firm boundary there.

So... the way you dismiss other people actually reveals the quality of your feelings—not your intuition or the caliber of your thoughts, but specifically the quality of your feelings.

You just have this gut feeling that you're right—without even knowing why—and you can easily spin that into any excuse you want.

If you actually had intuition—which is something you simply *know* (and that's why it gets confused with mere feelings)—you would be able to explain it logically. After all, intuition operates on a much higher level than thought, etc., etc.

Oh, okay.🙂

Taylor Campbell4 said:Well, if you’d just look a little closer—or perhaps find some more reliable sources that actually address these issues clearly—it would be obvious. I mean, it should be pretty clear by now. 😕 If animals don't have their own individual karma—and let's face it, they wouldn't have a source for it anyway—then they must share a collective one instead.

They don't even possess individual souls—it’s all just one collective consciousness for the species. That’s a tough concept to wrap your head around—honestly—but when it comes to this whole karma business... well, if anyone actually understands how that works, it applies to me quite easily.

A shared karma—and a shared soul.😕
You have to be kidding me—right?😕
It stands to reason that people share a collective karma—and honestly, aliens probably do too.😕

No ...it’s often said that thinking is... knowing.
Feelings, however, are a far more nuanced matter.
As I mentioned earlier—and I suspect not everyone possesses the same emotional depth—trying to debate someone who lacks that spectrum of feeling is essentially like having a conversation with a tree.

Taylor Campbell4 said:How does that actually manifest—being essentially human—and what exactly do you mean by animalistic karma?

It’s just an intuition—quite logical, really. As for knowing someone else's karma? I don't.😕

Taylor Campbell4 said:Hey Thomas Stewart97—does karma bite animals on the butt too, just because they eat other animals or plants?

Could you expand a bit on your take regarding karma and these specific questions?

Well—animals certainly have karma. At their core, an animal is exactly the same as a human being; they're simply wearing a different coat right now.

Taylor Campbell4 said:Oh, okay!
🙄

Feelings are—well, they’re just more refined (perhaps even truer?) than thoughts.
That’s why when someone loses their temper, they’re actually much closer to reality than if they were sitting there calmly and logically overanalyzing the situation that triggered them in the first place...

And that’s exactly why our friend Kanye West is right in that specific, intuitive way—because he has a gut feeling—and since feelings possess such an incredible weight of truth, it’s almost hard to believe!
🙄

I love animals and I think it’s terrible that they’re slaughtered for food—that's all there is to it.🙂

Thomas Stewart97 said:A-ha—you’re making an assumption. It sounds logical enough, I suppose—even if we haven't seen the full picture yet.
🙄

A lot of people lean into reincarnation because they feel it's the only explanation that actually provides a sense of purpose to existence.
Personally, I couldn't care less what anyone else believes—it's a private matter.

Thomas Stewart97 said:Look, I'm just questioning how you can be so certain that everyone eating meat today is going to face some cosmic retribution based on the laws of karma.
And how exactly does that apply to you—given all those times you ate animals in your previous lives?

If you can't provide a real answer, please don't bother responding with something completely nonsensical. 🙄

I wouldn't say I'm certain—but I'd assume so, simply because it follows logic.
I can't quite put my finger on the "how," though.

Thomas Stewart97 said:Why is the world a living hell for certain people—and who are they, exactly?

Well—it comes down to karma. It’s plain to see that for some, life is nothing but a series of hardships. The world is simply full of suffering.

sad but true said:It’s fascinating—really. You just keep going, over and over. People crave meat because, frankly, unlike plants, it tastes incredible. I remember watching an episode of Chase where they interviewed some vegetarians. There was this one guy making miso soup who spent a solid half hour lecturing everyone on why a vegetarian diet is "superior" and "totally awesome"—but in all that time, he didn't mention once that he actually enjoyed the food. Honestly, life is too short for food you don't even like. 🤮

Well, the world wasn't built for pure indulgence, anyway.

sad but true said:karma is a total myth 👋

Exactly—particularly for people under the impression they can dodge accountability. Well, newsflash: they can't.🙂
Everything eventually circles back around.

Thomas Stewart97 said:Well, obviously—the real question is whether the image is real or unreal. How exactly are you linking the two?

There isn't much to link—the material world is transient and ultimately illusory, a mere training ground for learning and gaining insight before breaking that cycle entirely. But that’s a whole different conversation.

sad but true said:no wonder you hold those kinds of views 🤣 🤣 🤣

That’s irrelevant—I absolutely love animals.

Thomas Stewart97 said:Hey Thomas, does karma bite animals on the butt too—just because they eat other animals or plants?

Could you expand a bit on your take regarding karma and these specific scenarios?

Once you link karma to reincarnation—well, everything becomes crystal clear.

sad but true said:animals don't have souls🙂

I live with plenty of animals—and I am 100% certain they possess souls—which means those responsible for their slaughter will eventually have to face the music and learn their lesson.
Why do some people find the world to be a living hell? It is because Earth is essentially a classroom—one where you stay until you finally grasp the lesson.

sad but true said:works for me 🥳

Sure—it works for you—mostly because you haven't realized there’s a whole world beyond this material plane.
Karma eventually catches up to everyone.
It'll come back to haunt you sooner or later.🙂

sad but true said:animals don't have souls🙂

Animals absolutely have souls—and they die in agony just because of people like you.👎 🤮 🙂 🙂

The bottom line is that these poor animals are suffering needlessly—all just because you people enjoy gorging yourselves on carcasses.😱

Donald Trump said:You claim to be intelligent? Well, buddy, you’re doing a great job of hiding it—you haven't offered a single solid argument in this entire discussion, just repeating the same tired points over and over.

Since you believe that only humans possess a soul, talking to you is essentially a waste of my time.🙂
