Seth on Killing

This is from the Seth group online:

Hi Everyone,
Here is facinating Seth quote on how killing is wrong, and eventually we won't have to kill to exist (kill for food); and also how there is no punishment involved.
.........

Seth (Session 32): Jane was very upset over the killing of starlings by the police.

Seth responds: "Killing except for self-protection will be paid for. The idea of killing is what is at fault. If you agree with the killing of birds for example, you wind up with the killing of men. You will be taught the sacredness of all life, and in the most practical way."

Rob: "How about our killing animals for food?"

Seth: "On your plane the hunter and the prey system is at this time a necessary one but it will not always be this way. A time will come when you will not have to kill in order to exist, and the balance of nature will take care of itself. This time is sooner on the way than you think. In your country if there is peace, you will see its beginning in your lifetimes."

Rob: "Does this include doing away with slaughterhouses?"

Seth: "It most certainly does. This involves your own intellectual technology, which will be able to maintain its population with synthetic proteins. However this technological development will come first; unfortunately the corresponding ethical evolution will follow after. There is a very practical reason for a reverence of all life, and very practical reasons why man must learn certain facts that up to this point he has considered impractical. He has usually managed to separate his ethical conceptions from his daily business life, but this shall be increasingly difficult for him to manage. Until you learn reverence for all living things you will continue to slaughter each other. Again, this does not involve punishment in any sense of the word. but the idea of killing permissiveness is not discriminating. Once you allow yourselves to kill you will kill any living thing. In future lives this involves the race in further adjustments."
