1674:
Some of us have considered
becoming vegan; some have tried it; gradually numbers are growing. Take up is
slow. It’s slow at first and then, as it merges more strongly with the spirit
of this new age, it will almost certainly start to move rapidly.
How quickly this happens depends on where we are now. With veganism, the speed at which this idea sparks a cultural change will be determined by our own faith in that idea, starting with our initial association with vegan food. It’s unusual not to have the popular animal products in ones diet, but there’s a lightness and high octane feel about the energy you get from plant-based foods. You can only appreciate that once you’re using them solely.
Once we’re comfortable with
the food side of veganism, and feel optimistic about it; once we start feeling
less ill all the time (by now eating decent food); once we link mental clarity
with our connection with this single idea, then we can re-educate ourselves and
go on to help re-educate others.
When the really interesting
experiments take place, when the majority of people start to experiment with a
vegan lifestyle, they’ll know immediately that they’re investing in their own
future and that of the planet. Repair and sustainability will have come out of
a new learning. And that comes about via
information.
This will be looked back on
as the Information Age. Unlike a couple of decades ago where searching out
information was hard work, now the information we need is easily accessible and
it’s free. And it stands well clear of the blatant misinformation of the past.
We can look back now and see all the misperceptions we’ve swallowed! Eat meat –
be strong, etc. We’d become rather like vivisected, experimental, laboratory
creatures who’ve been dosed with misinformation, and then observed and, of
course, profited from.
