Would you help a snake, knowing that it will then eat a mouse?
Would you help a swallow, knowing that it will then eat a grasshopper?
Predation is the basis of suffering on the planet.
It is what legitimizes that we can harm another being, justifying it on the grounds that we do it to survive.
That any being does it to survive.
But it is something we should never have naturalized.
To begin with, predation is unjust in its relationship between predator and prey.
A predator needs to kill another being almost daily, for its entire life.
It is a ratio of 1 to 100?
Maybe 1 to 45,000?
It doesn't matter.
No one should legitimize predation.
One Identity should not survive at the cost of thousands of others being devoured by it.
So, if we don't legitimize predation, what do we do with the snake that has fallen into a ditch?
Do we help it out, or do we let it die so that it does not cause more suffering?
Well, in my opinion, there is only one valid answer.
It is Compassion.
And it is based on helping every being that needs our help.
We are not responsible for what another being (another Identity) does, once we have helped it.
If that snake preys later, it will be its decision.
And, if it does, it is because it has no other choice.
Even so, if I help a snake and, immediately afterwards, I see how it tries to devour another being, I will still apply Compassion and help the prey to escape.
The only way to eradicate predation is to create the New Eden, the Perfect Environment.
In that Environment, no being will be able to prey on another.
And, neither will it need to.
It will not need to prey to survive.
Right now, any Identity preys because of the belief that it needs to do so to survive.
But it is a false belief, which is based on the result returned by the Individual Perception.
When we have created a peaceful Environment (The antechamber of the New Eden), that same Identity will abandon the false belief that it must prey to survive.
And, at last, it will be able to see all other Identities for what they are.
Manifestations of the one Self that exists.
Partners in the adventure we call life.
Partners who are Himself.
That is why Compassion is always the answer.
Compassion is the fruit of Love.
And, Love is the response of Unconscious Intelligence to the original separation of Self-perception, which gave birth to life.
When the Totality was fragmented, the function of restoration was initiated, which tried to unify the fragments to become one again.
Thus, the force of attraction was born.
Love is a manifestation of this force of attraction.
Two fragments that, instead of being separated and trying to compete and prey on each other, unite, trying to merge into one.
Love is the purest manifestation of the force of attraction.
The opposite is the force of exclusion.
It is seeing others as enemies and competition.
From competition arises Predation.
And out of Love comes Compassion.
Basically, we help any other being who needs us, because we recognize that they are, like me, a fragment of the whole.
That other Being is also Me.
The recognition of Oneness.
The answer is always Compassion.
By choosing Compassion, we will help perceive the Environment as a peaceful place and bring Heaven to Earth.
With Compassion, we will create the Holy Mountain, where the wolf will dwell with the lamb.
And the New Eden will open, at last, before us.
