Having worked as a psychologist for over 30 years in psychiatry, homicide and private practice, I continue to discover hidden levels of violence and abuse that shocks me.
What is it that enables some people to overcome abuse, while others become trapped and unable to overcome the consequences of other people’s actions?
In a recent podcast about child-trafficking with Tim Ballard, a former hedge fund manager, I considered parallels with other abuses.
In the interview, Tim Ballard was asked, “What is the cause of this horrible abuse of the most vulnerable, such as children?” His reply was that the abusers had themselves been subjected to similar violence and were perpetuating the cycle.

Much of medical research today is actually an apparently desperate quest to find ways to continue eating animal foods and to escape the consequences of our cruel and unnatural practices. Do we really want to be successful in this? By living the truth of compassion in our meals and daily lives, we can create a field of peace, love, and freedom that can radiate into our world and bless others by silently and subtly encouraging the same in them.
Emerson’s “You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity,” shows the esteemed Concord sage’s ability to make the connections that elude most.
Bronson Alcott’s daughter, Louisa May, wrote, “Vegetable diet and sweet repose. Animal food and nightmare. Pluck your body from the orchard; do not snatch it from the shambles. Without flesh diet there could be no bloodshedding war.” She makes explicit the connection between the violence inherent in eating animals, nightmares, and the nightmare of human violence turned against ourselves.
Our Earth will naturally heal when we stop killing fish and sea life and polluting and wasting water in such unsustainable ways. Forests and wildlife will return because we’ll need far less farmland to feed everyone a plant-based diet, and the whole earth will be relieved of the unbearable pressure exerted by omnivorous humans. We will be released from the paralysis that prevents us from creatively addressing the looming depletion of fossil fuels and the other challenges we face.
None of us ever consciously and freely chose to eat animals. We have all inherited this from our culture and upbringing.
Going into the baby food department of any grocery store today, we see it immediately: beef-flavored baby food, chicken, veal, and lamb baby food, and even cheese lasagna baby food.
Well-meaning parents, grandparents, friends, and neighbors have forced the flesh and secretions of animals upon us from before we can remember.

We must, if this process is actually happening in us, be drawn toward veganism, and it is in no way a limitation on us, but the harmonious fulfillment of our own inner seeing. Rather than relying on science to validate veganism and our basic herbivore physiology, we may do better by calling attention to universal truths: animals are undeniably capable of suffering; our physical bodies are strongly affected by thoughts, feelings, and aspirations; and we cannot reap happiness for ourselves by sowing seeds of misery for others. Nor may we be free while unnaturally enslaving others. We are all connected. These are knowings of the heart and veganism is, ultimately, a choice to listen to the wisdom in our heart as it opens to understanding the interconnectedness and essential unity of all life.
There are strong voices in all religious traditions emphasizing that our kindness to other beings should be based on compassion. This is more than merely being open to the suffering of others; it also explicitly includes the urge to act to relieve their suffering. We are thus responsible not just to refrain from harming animals and humans, but also to do what we can to stop others from harming them, and to create conditions that educate, inspire, and help others to live in ways that show kindness and respect for all life. This is the high purpose to which the core teachings of the world’s wisdom traditions call us. It is an evolutionary imperative, a spiritual imperative, an imperative of compassion, and, in reality, a vegan imperative.

Let the emotions attached to your thoughts run their course. They cannot go on forever. Be patient and do not judge. Hold the awareness that you are letting the emotions go by allowing them to wear themselves out rather than stuffing them back down or repressing them.
If you repress your thoughts and emotions, they will rise to the surface one way or another, and you will project them outwardly. This is the ego’s way of releasing what it finds intolerable, convincing you that something “out there” or someone else is the source of how you feel.
By recognizing that your mind is the source, you can then undo your projections by choosing to change your mind. This is to choose forgiveness and take responsibility for how you choose to feel. This is the constant work, which is worth it because your freedom is worth it. Who You Really Are is worth it. And, you’ll feel better in the long run, even if you feel uncomfortable temporarily.
Uncomfortable states are indeed temporary. Do not fear them, but make peace with them instead. Remind yourself that as the emotions run their course and you cease to hold onto or justify them, you will experience true Freedom.
It is time to do the work. It is time to change your mind from conflict to peace, from fear to love, from resistance to transcendence. You are loved and blessed always, and all is well, in Truth. Namaste.
