ZetaTalk: Suicide
Note: written by Jul 15, 1995
We, the Zetas, believe in the right to suicide. Whose life is it, anyway? Suicide has been given a bad name in human
societies, by association. The mad man, convinced he has committed crimes in fact not done, destroys his good life. A
waste. In fact, this seldom happens, and is much more dramatized in fiction than occurs in fact. Most suicide is
undertaken after much agonizing and debate. Most suicide is undertaken when life is truly intolerable, because of
never ending pain or because the life circumstances cannot and will not change and are emotionally and mentally
intolerable. The humans have cast about for years, seeking solutions, and none are to be found. They are in agony, and
wish release. Most suicides do not even hamper others, but are seen as a relief. At last, the others no longer need
participate as spectators in the agony. The tortured is at rest.
Why is this so resisted in human society? It is the control factor, the concept that one's life is not one's own. Organized religion, and controlling establishments, view the human populace as their herds. The herds cannot escape their
bounds, and must resign themselves to their lot. Contemplating escape is not allowed, lest the herds begin to expand
their horizons. Therefore, there is no escape. Pay your dues, work hard every day, pay homage, and obey. This is the theme. Suicide angers the religious elite and the establishment elite because it represents an escape. For no other
reason.

ZetaTalk: Vegetarian
Note: written on Jul 15, 1997
Humans are omnivores, as during their evolution they required the ability to eat a broad diet in order to survive.
Carnivores develop in species that are swift and voracious, but only where a continuous and ample supply of prey
exist. Imagine a tiger with nothing but grass to eat. The tiger may be willing to eat almost anything when the hunger pangs get strong enough, but his digestive system won’t process anything but meat. Carnivores die when their prey
dies out. Species that are vegetarians also have specialized digestive tracts, designed to break down the tough fiber that is intrinsic to plant life. They have multiple stomachs in many cases, digesting in stages. All species that eat plants
consume insects as a matter of course, as insects are scattered throughout the plants they munch on, and thus are
always part of the intake.
Thus, species that evolve are either carnivores, vegetarian, or omnivores. The omnivore, of which mankind is a
member, evolve to meet wildly swinging cycles of food availability. Early humans, being land animals and highly
mobile, could travel during drought to areas lush with vegetation. Strictly vegetarian animals do this likewise, but as
their digestive tracts digest fiber effectively, they can nibble on dried vegetation on the way. Humans, evolved from
apes which were adjusted to eating fruits and insects as well as vegetation, do not have the apparatus to digest fiber.
Thus, while on the road during droughts, they would have starved unless able to kill and eat meat. They have dual
digestive systems, in effect.
Humans are designed, due to the influence of food availability during evolution, to eat either vegetables and fruits or meat, but not both at the same time. This is a fact not widely recognized or understood by humans, and thus they do
themselves damage by eating both foods at meals, routinely. Imagine the cave man on the road, traveling to lush fields of vegetation where fruits and grains and tubers could be located with ease. The troop kills a deer or elephant, and
feasts on nothing but meat and blood for days, consuming the entire kill before it can spoil. They do this repeatedly
while on the road. When they arrive at their destination, they find they no longer need to take the physical risks that
hunting invariably presents - flailing hooves and charging frightened beasts. They become vegetarians.
Modern man misunderstands what the cave man ate while lolling about during their vegetarian periods. They did not
live strictly on vegetables and fruits and grains. They ate any and everything that was handy, and this included
numerous insects and slow moving life forms such as mollusks and possums. They ate less meat, but the diet was
highly varied and included occasional small bites from sources other than plants. Thus, those modern humans who try
to live what they interpret to be a strictly vegetarian life suffer from malnutrition - poor immunity, anemia, lack of
strength, and inability to deal with stress. Man was not designed to live by vegetables alone, and must accommodate
their body with protein sources from living creatures other than plants, or suffer the consequences.

ZetaTalk: Reverence for Life
Note: written by Jul 15, 1995
Reverence for life is a concept promoted periodically, in various ways - Mahatma Ghandi, in his non- violence; Albert
Schweitzer, who coined the phrase; and the Hindus, in their treatment of cows and monkeys as sacred. Vegetarians in
general espouse this philosophy in some manner, as why else give up meat and suffer the almost invariable nutritional
deficiencies that result? We, the Zetas, have described ourselves as vegetarians, and have stated how we deplore the
abusive way humans domesticate animals destined for slaughter. What should a conscientious human do, then, to put a
reverence for life into practice? Done to an extreme, a reverence for life means starving oneself, as even plants have
some sensibilities. What to do?
All this should be balanced with some common sense. If one starts at the bottom of the food chain, with algae and
plants, and then moves up through the insect and worm world, one need scarcely apologize, especially if death is dealt
quickly and cleanly. Even an insect can die a cruel death if one sticks a pin in it and lets it struggle until death
overtakes it. Crush them quickly and cleanly. Following are fish and foul, who have the instinct to escape but truly
don't ponder their possible outcomes. Here also, death should come quickly and cleanly. In a reverence for life
philosophy, sensate mammals such as horses and dogs should be spared when possible, but if necessary for food
should be killed without forewarning of their impending fate, as they experience agony.
A reverence for life philosophy goes beyond whom should eat whom. It also involves practices of medicine, behavior
toward wounded animals, treatment of other humans, and whether one keeps pets or not and under what
circumstances. In sum, it involves putting oneself in the shoes of the creature in question, and treating it accordingly.
