STOPT THE PET INDUSTRY

Living beings are not objects to be possessed and sold by the pet industry.I don't agree with the animal captivity. We are not "beings" (noun) we are in the process of "being"(verb;action).Separation of objects really is like an illusion and our interconnectedness is hidden., We are neither the created or the creators of our universe. We are participants in our universe. The difference is the difference between a noun and a verb; between an object and an action.The actual process has the appropriate name of "being", from the verb "be". We are not "beings" (noun;objects) we are in the process of "being"., We are verbs, participating through the agency of time in the process of existence. By thinking of ourselves as objects or things(nouns), we freeze ourselves outside of time and process to the point of nonsense. To update Heraclitus; not only can you never step in the same river twice, you are not the same person when you step out of a river as when you stepped in. I also think it’s “unscientific” for scientists to gloss over what so many shaman, martial artists, yogis, spiritual leaders, and Native Americans have told us all along. That they “CAN FEEL” the oneness of the universe that we are all apart of. Separation of objects really is like an illusion and our interconnectedness hints that our TRUE INTENTIONS do play a role in what happens. It’s kind of like the idea of Karma. Native Americans feel that based on your intentions and your gut feeling you can be led to things you need to do or avoid life-threatening situations. It’s like we are imprinting our intentions on some unseen dimension which is different from our physical body but affected by it nonetheless: something that may indeed prove certain aspects of spirituality.
