Spiritual Evolution and the Devastating Effects of Eating Meat: Interview with David Barreto (vegan), Part 1 of 2

David Barreto is an author, a researcher on spirituality and science, and a lecturer in quantum physics in London, UK. For more than 20 years, David has been studying spirituality and has also completed academic studies in various sciences, including astrophysics, cosmology, and neuropsychology. David recently released the book “Spiritual Evolution in the Animal Kingdom: Karma, Reincarnation and the Repercussions of Eating Meat,” in which he discusses the spirituality of animal-people, their reincarnation process, and why eating meat seriously degrades our spiritual bodies.

“Sometimes, as humanity, we think that animals are just animated beings out there. And that is so wrong, because they have a spirit; they are evolving in their own lives, in their own worlds. They are here on planet Earth to evolve, to grow spiritually, like we are. And we are going towards the same direction, humans and animals. We are just in different states of evolution now, spiritual evolution.”

David next explains that our animal-people co-inhabitants are here to help us and that even tiny insect-people are important. Spider-people, for example, have an energetic role. Our most gracious Supreme Master Ching Hai can speak telepathically with animal-people and frequently speaks about the remarkable gifts they bring. She shares a story about the loving kindness of a tiny spider-person She once met. “Oh, so many animal-people are so incredibly kind, not just my dog-person. Even today, outside of my door, there is a spider-person. He spun a web where I would hang my clothes in the sun to dry, and I tried to shake him away, he didn’t go. He came back and mended his net again, so I was feeling strange that he’s so persisting to build a house there. I asked him, ‘Why did you insist to put up your tent here? The house in front of my door like this makes it difficult for me to come out and to hang my clothes.’ So, and then he told me, ‘Because You need protection.’ How can a spider-person protect me? Imagine. It’s just the invisible things. So he (the spider-person) said, ‘Because You need protection.’ My God, such a small little creature-being like that. I was so touched.”
