Why?... Merciless Law or Transmutation Process?

                                       ( March 08)

            Why?...
             Merciless Law or Transmutation Process?

              

             The term  ‘Food Chain’ starkly reveals a very raw
              if not Cruel to our eyes aspect of Nature.

             Every living creature depends for its development, survival
             and continuation upon the consumption of another creature
             be it a Plant or another Animal.
             Alive or Dead...

              Every Creature, in one way or another
              seems to be Sacrificed in the process of Nature's Law
              and for the Purpose of Nature's Plan
              ...if there is one.

              One way to see it is as

              Life Feeding itself from Itself
              thus Continually Recycling Changing
              Evolving and Perpetuating Itself
              perhaps in a Process of Transmutation of the Species
              to a Higher Order in the Chain.

              Whatever the Real event behind the veil of Appearances
              and whatever Nature's Plan and Purpose
              there is One aspect i find difficult to accept
              understand or substantiate:

              Why Must it be done in That way?

              Why in a way that appears Merciless and Cruel?
              Why with Pain, Fear and Cruelty of an Abrupt Death
               since every creature eventually comes to a Natural end?

               Is this possibly one very clear, very dramatic way
               bringing to Consciousness that Death, Pain and Fear
               are only a Temporary part and an Appearance
               in an otherwise Veiled Continual Process
               of Transformation at All levels?

               Every creature is Naturally equipped
               with a Sense of Fear for Danger
               and Instinct for Self- Preservation and Survival.

               If All creations are part of a Transmutation Process
               then Nothing in Reality Perishes.

               If so, is the sense of Danger Illusionary
               and the Instinct of Self- Preservation
               serving only a Temporary Purpose
               i.e. Preserving a Particular Form of Expression
               and Manifestation at a Particular Point of time?

               Even if any of these Speculations are true
               the question still remains in my mind;

               Why?...why must it be done in this way?
               Why with Fear and Pain?
               Why through a Rough, Cruel Death?

               Is it possible that there might be
               a momentary merciful revelation
               of the Reality of Transmutation
               at the moment of a creature's surrender to death
               as perhaps a Benevolent touch of Life?...
