Theos-Talk Archives (February 2008 Message tt00060)

Dear Friends,

It is never too late to make a change. Consciousness is everything. 
Even if we eat meat, if we are aware of the sacrifice offered us by 
the animal who died that we may be fed, if we express gratitude to 
it, to the universe which provides us with sustenance, we are making 
a difference. Bit by bit more and more people will remember that we 
are a part of nature, that what happens to other of nature's children 
also happens to us. We can help to bring about that change of 
consciousness.
