My understanding of Kabbalah is that it stresses the importance of altruistic behavior and discourages unnecessary harm to animals and to the planet.   On the other hand,  Kabbalah has no issue with the  consumption of animals and animal products. The animal agriculture industry uses almost half of habitable land for livestock,  and is the main source of polluted land and water. Animals raised for food suffer significant physical and emotional pain throughout their lives and at the slaughter houses.  Additionally, there is a lot of convincing medical research showing that animals and their by products  are not required for human health. On the contrary, many compelling resources posit that animal products may compromise the health of humans? Can you help me reconcile this paradox?

I wish that all humans show more compassion to animals and fish. It’s a great way to create angels.

Where does our consciousness come from?

I and other forms of  matter/energy live within a god force – consciousness

Is Kabbalah considered pantheistic or panentheistic?
