Life Review Question
 
Hi Erin,

In your Life Review article, you state that we "get to feel the pain you inflicted on others so you understand how they felt by what you said or did." Does that apply to animals too? Are we going to review every hamburger, chicken nugget, and tuna sandwich we've eaten and feel the animals' pain? If so, it seems those of us who were not lucky enough to be raised as vegans have a rough time ahead. :(

You will likely be made to understand the plight and terror of what the animals endured, but I doubt you would have to feel every single one.

But what people must understand is that you can forgive yourself for transgressions here while still incarnated. You don't have to wait until you're dead to make amends, become compassionate, seek understanding, be empathetic. You're allowed to learn it here, not there. There is just a final resort.

Be loving, compassionate, kind, respectful of life, and gentle while you are here and you won't have to experience the pain of underestanding there.

Thanks Erin. That's reassuring. On the brighter side, I can't wait to find out what female orgasms feel like. :) I was kinda hoping to experience every single one, and find out which ones were real.

You just SO made my day with this very practical approach. :D
