Hello 
                        everybody 
                      This 
                        is a nice intimate setting. How many of you have I met 
                        before? (Many people raise their hands) So many - ok good! 
                        I am so glad to be here. I love coming to Hamburg. I flew 
                        here all the way from Hawaii mostly to be here, because 
                        I believe in this conference so much. And I'm committed 
                        to helping Wrage to build this Vegan Conference. So it 
                        is every year. And it becomes bigger and bigger.
                      So, 
                        I wanna beginn by just thanking you, thank you so much 
                        from my heart for being here for this conference. It means 
                        so much to me, that you are here.
                      So, 
                        I have been a vegan since 1996. I'm a strict vegan. And 
                        I've been able to do it, while travelling around the world 
                        every year. Which - as you know - isn't always easy. But 
                        it can be done and I've shown, that it can be done. I 
                        remember the first time I came to Germany many years ago. 
                        And there was one Vegetarian Restaurant. And I don't remember 
                        which city it was, because it was on a multy-city Germany 
                        tour. And it was in October. It was quite cold that year 
                        to me. And so rumor - I found this one restaurant, that 
                        served tofu and vegetables and organic and such. 
                        And what I remember most is that the smokers - those who 
                        smoke cigarettes - had to sit inside this restaurant. 
                        If you were a nonsmoker, you had to sit outside. So, the 
                        food was good, but I was freezing. And then, if you go 
                        inside - all the cigarettes where there - and I was just 
                        thinking: "What is this?!" But I'm sure they've 
                        changed, because the whole world has changed - have you 
                        noticed?
                      My 
                        background is that both of my parents who are very healthy, 
                        who don't even have grey hair all the way and have been 
                        vegetarian pretty much their whole life. And so I was 
                        raised almost completely vegetarian. We would have some 
                        turkey at the United States "Thanks Giving". 
                        And then we would have fish, sometimes. But pretty much 
                        I was raised vegetarian. 
                      Strong 
                        Weight Consciousness in California
                      And 
                        besides that I grew up in California: in California there 
                        is so much pressure to keep your weight low as a woman. 
                        And as a child - growing up in California - if you were 
                        overweight, the other children would make terrible fun 
                        of you. 
                      So 
                        being a sensitive child - one oft he things that I noticed, 
                        ist hat: because oft he weight-consciousness in California 
                        - very vew people would eat red meat. But a lot of people 
                        in California believe, that to keep their weight low they 
                        go on this high protein diet - of just chicken and fish. 
                        
                      And 
                        so when I was first giving my angel readings with people 
                        - and I was still in Mediumship, talking to their angels. 
                        At that time I was eating a lot of vegetables. But I was 
                        still eating fish - and some chicken because of this diet, 
                        that was just normal at that time for me.
                      And 
                        I just didn't even think anything about that. Of course 
                        - you know I did my best to be ecological. I always recycled, 
                        I would use eco-friendly clean supplies and shampoo. And 
                        all my fruits and vegetables were organic. But for some 
                        reason - at that time, in my life I was unconscious and 
                        disconnected from fish and chicken and cheese and how 
                        it was affecting me. Now - if you've taken any of my classes 
                        or you've read my books, you know that I teach a lot about 
                        angels. And I've been working with angels my whole life. 
                        And you also know that I teach that angels only help you, 
                        when you ask for their help. So - they respect your freewill 
                        choices. 
                        
                        So, when I was first giving readings to other people - 
                        and what that means - as I was telling them, what their 
                        angels were saying. I had spent many many years as an 
                        eating disorder counseller. And as an eating disorder 
                        counseller I was helping mostly women.
                        
                      And 
                        this was in California, which as I told you, is a very 
                        very weight conscious place. And so I was helping women, 
                        who had developed eating disorders because of this weight 
                        consciousness. And I had written two books on the topic 
                        "The Jojo diet syndrome" 
                        - it is about how your weight goes up and down because 
                        of your emotions. 
                      And 
                        I had also written two other books: 
                        
                        1. "Loosing your pounds 
                        of pain" - and that book was about my 
                        doctoral dissertation. And that was about how children 
                        who were abused very often grow up to develop eating disorders. 
                        And then my other book on food is called "constant 
                        craving". And this was based on research I had done 
                        in my eating disorder practice.
                        Where 
                        I found, that if you told me, what food you are craving, 
                        I could tell you what was going on in your life. And my 
                        book 
                        2. "Constant Craving" 
                        was about what properties were in each of this foods. 
                        As far as chemistry makeup and texture, that effected 
                        your emotions.
                      
                      And 
                        so I was doing at that time. I was going to NewYork City 
                        on a Television Studio or Station called "The 
                        Food Network" And I was giving what we 
                        call foodreadings. 
                        Well, people would call into this TV-Station - and they 
                        would tell me, that they could crave chocolate bars or 
                        pizza or ricepudding or whatever.
                        And based on what they told me which food they were craving, 
                        I could tell that person a lot about themselves. Because 
                        your body knows, what it needs. Your body wants to have 
                        homeostasis, which means balance. And if you're upset 
                        about something - and you're not dealing with that issue, 
                        you are going to develop a craving to help balance yourself.
                      So 
                        I was working with my angels more publicly with people 
                        as I said. And I felt like there was this block, or this 
                        wall, were I knew I could see and hear my angels more 
                        clearly, when this block was removed.
                      How 
                        Can I See You Angels More Clearly?
                        What blocks our life energy sources and 
                        our "third eye"
                        Animal 
                        Proteine  blocks our Higher 
                        Connection the most
                      But 
                        I didn't know what the block was. So I asked the angels: 
                        how can I become more clairvoyant.
                      I 
                        asked them: "How can I see 
                        you angels more clearly?". And when you 
                        ask the angels something, they always answer you. You 
                        don't have to be special, you don't have to be specially 
                        trained. They always answer everyone's questions. 
                        But a lot of times, the answers of the angels give to 
                        you, don't seem to make any sense, or they don't seem 
                        to be connected to the question.
                      And 
                        this was that kind of a case for me. 
                      So 
                        right after I asked how to be more clairvoyant, I started 
                        to see pictures in my mind of chicken. And I could see 
                        little chunks of chicken meat 
                        in my mind. And I thought: "What is this 
                        about?" I did not connect it to the question at all. 
                        And it just kept continuing. Well, I could close my eyes 
                        and all I could see, was chicken. 
                      So 
                        I finale talked to a friend of mine, who was far along 
                        the spiritual path and I asked my angels for further clarification. 
                        
                      What 
                        they told me, blew my mind. The angels said, that everything 
                        that we eat, and drink, and put on our skin, has an energy 
                        or life force. And they said that when you 
                        eat, drink or put things on your skin, which have a high 
                        life force. It raises your vibrations.
                      And 
                        they said, that the highest 
                        life force was something that was freshly picked 
                        and organic. And they did tell me - the vision 
                        they showed me of the highest vibration: it was always 
                        fruit! Because the whole plant is retained - and the fruit 
                        is, what the plant gives, what the tree gives you. The 
                        plant wants you to take the fruit, because that's how 
                        the seeds are distributed.
                      And 
                        they said: the low life force 
                        comes from foods, that are dead. They said 
                        that there is different degrees of life force. So they 
                        said that food that's microwaved 
                        has very little life force. A food that's frozen or cooked 
                        very hot has very low life force. They said 
                        that anything, that would kill you, will kill the life 
                        force in the food. So they said for instance - they said 
                        to me: could you life in a microwave or freezer? And of 
                        course not! 
                        They also told me, that a blender 
                        kills life force - just like it would kill 
                        us to be in a blender. They said, that life force will 
                        only stay there for about 20 Minutes after something is 
                        blended. 
                      So 
                        they just said: if you want to know just think "could 
                        I life in that?" Then they said, that 
                        pesticides - anything with pesticides has very low life 
                        force. Because the word pesticide means kill 
                        insects. (Comment: lat. pestis = scourge, plague and lat. 
                        caedere = kill). 
                        
                      And 
                        so that energy 
                        of killing had intention with pesticides is very 
                        low energy. And when you eat pesticides, that 
                        agression from the pesticides affects you and makes you 
                        feel agressive. 
                      When 
                        the angels told me this, I changed what I was feeding 
                        my sons - to organic food. And just from changing the 
                        salad that they have with dinner every night - from a 
                        regular salad to organic salad - I watched my sons completely 
                        change. My sons became gentle, they became sweeter. That 
                        little boy aggression energy just was gone. And all I 
                        did was just change from regular lattice and regular tomatoes 
                        to organic.
                      And 
                        the angels said, that the lowest 
                        life force comes from any animal product, where the animal 
                        has suffered. Well, I am not here to tell you, 
                        what happens to animals, because I'm assuming, you already 
                        know. Is that right? You already know?
                      All 
                        This Suffering Only Because Of The Money
                      Where 
                        I come from in America, the animals are treated so so 
                        bad. I mean it's just criminal how the animals are treated 
                        in America. And America is a very young country, that 
                        only cares about money. And there is other countries that 
                        are horrible to animals, too. 
                      But 
                        the angels said that, because there is such a focus on 
                        making money by the farmers in America, they literally 
                        just don't care about the chickens or the pigs or the 
                        cows they have. The just don't care. They don't care about 
                        people's health. And so in Amerika most of the animals 
                        receive anti-biotics and growth-hormons. And people in 
                        Amerika eat that way every day. 
                      All 
                        The Energy With Which We Surround Ourselves
                        And Which We Eat, Is Having An Impact On Us
                        When the energie is bright and full of vital life force, 
                        it strengthens and sensitizes us positively
                        When the energie is dark and destructive, it weakens and 
                        desensitizes 
                        us negatively
                      And 
                        the angels said, that when you eat something that has 
                        suffered, the suffering energy goes in you. 
                        My personal belief is that every animal who is slaughtered, 
                        suffers! But I think, some suffer more than others. Many 
                        animals have happy lifes and then have a slaughter at 
                        the end - that's horrible! And their life force energy 
                        would be higher than an animal, that has been kept in 
                        a little tiny pin its whole life and is tortured its whole 
                        life. 
                      So 
                        what the angels showed me is that when people eat this 
                        energy every day, like it is normal in Amerika, they become 
                        very effected by it. It makes them desensitized to suffering 
                        and aggression. And so they start to not care. And it 
                        is one of the reasons, why people act very aggressively, 
                        because they are eating this energy of aggression. 
                      I 
                        also think it is one of the reasons why we have so much 
                        depression in this world, because the animal was depressed, 
                        when it was killed. Animals who go into slaughterhouses 
                        know that they are about to be slaughtered. They are very 
                        intuitive. They here the cries of the other animals who 
                        are being slaughtered. And all of those endorphins go 
                        into the meat, that people eat.
                      The"Third 
                        Eye " ... Clear View - and Clairvoyance
                        and what blocks our Higher 
                        Connection 
                      And 
                        the animal products, that are not meat - such as cheese 
                        and yoghurt and butter and milk - are also effected by 
                        the suffering. 
                      So 
                        the more recent work I have done - spiritually, with veganism 
                        - has to do with helping people to be clairvoyant. I have 
                        had many classes, it were extremely small classes on purpose. 
                        So running this classes with 14 to 20 people. And one 
                        of the reasons I have these very small classes is so that 
                        I could do this energy work with clearing what is called 
                        "the third eye". And I would look inside the 
                        "third eye" psychically 
 and I would see 
                        the energy, that was blocking that person from being able 
                        to see. And I did this for many many years and personally 
                        worked with hundreds of people to clear their "third 
                        eye". 
                      The 
                        "third eye" is also called "the mind's 
                        eye". It is the visual center inside your mind, were 
                        you can see pictures. So if I asked you to think about 
                        your mother and just visualize her, you could see a picture 
                        of your mother in your "minds eye". And the 
                        place were you've seen that picture - is your "third 
                        eye". And you can see very very vividly in ways that 
                        can help you and help others.
                      A 
                        lot of the work I do, is about things that are going on 
                        globally. Since I was a little girl, the angels showed 
                        me pictures about the future. And they were always right. 
                        And the things they show me, always come true. And when 
                        I did this classes with people: what I noticed, is that 
                        their third eye - when they could not see - had a block, 
                        that had to do with something they were eating or drinking. 
                        And the path that the "third eye" gave us this 
                        information was exactly as it had happened to me.
                      Ask 
                        Your Angels: "How Can I See 
                        (You) More Clearly?"
                      Remember 
                        when I told you, that I asked the angels: "how can 
                        I see you more clearly?" and I started to get more 
                        pictures of chicken in my mind. And at that time I was 
                        eating chicken and fish and cheese and yoghurt. 
                      And 
                        when they told me, that - when I was eating chicken - 
                        I was eating the energy of this pain, I was so surprised. 
                        So I immediately stopped eating chicken. And what I noticed 
                        is, that all the sudden my visions became so clear. 
                      The 
                        angels told me, that I could still eat fish, because the 
                        fish I was eating, was wild caught. And they said, the 
                        fish had a good life. I continued to eat fish and cheese 
                        and yoghurt, but no chicken. 
                      Until 
                        one day - back in 1969 - when I was cooking a piece of 
                        swordfish for myself. And I saw some blood from the fish 
                        in the pan. And I had this realization: "Oh my God 
                        - that is blood from an actual being, from a sentient 
                        fish. And something - to me, and I knew that I do not 
                        have the right to take anyones life! And cheese and yoghurt 
                        followed soon, when the angels explained to me, that the 
                        energy of the animal products was bringing me down.
                      The 
                        Diary Industry Is Very Closely Connected With The Veal 
                        Industry
                      In 
                        America the dairy industry is completely connected to 
                        the veal industry. So when the cow is pregnant, the baby 
                        is taken away from her. And they put the baby into a very 
                        small pan, were the baby cannot move, because they don't 
                        want the baby to develop muscles. And the poor baby, that 
                        has just been taken from it's mother now has no sunlight 
                        and can't move. And then it is killed very young to be 
                        veal. 
                      Veal 
                        is probably the most cruel of all the foods, that we could 
                        possibly eat. 
                      And 
                        when we drink milk - in Amerika or have milk-products, 
                        we are giving money to the veal industry. In Europe of 
                        course, you are much more farther progressed than in America. 
                        But if you are still drinking or eating dairy-products, 
                        please do research to see, how your farmers are treating 
                        the their cows. 
                      Because, 
                        the angels have said, that the problems in the world are 
                        going to be solved by you and me. And they said, that 
                        the main way - is by using the money which we spend to 
                        make sure, that it goes to companies, you believe in. 
                        
                      
                         
                          |  
                              Because, 
                              the angels have said, that the problems in the world 
                               
                              are going to be solved by you and me.  
                              And they said, that the 
                              main way - is by using the money which we spend 
                               
                              to make sure, that it goes to companies, you believe 
                              in.   
                           | 
                        
                      
                      So 
                        as I was saying - I gave these small classes with 14 to 
                        20 people, and do clearing on the "third eye". 
                        And I want to tell you, what blocks the "third eye" 
                        mostly. And this is if you want to increase your spiritual 
                        power.
                      Coffein 
                        Blocks Your "Third Eye" Almost As Much As The 
                        Animal Protein
                      The 
                        number one block -  
                        directly behind the animal products (as Doreen expressively 
                        emphasies at the question time) - of 
                        seeing energy with the third eye - is coffein. And I appologize, 
                        if this offends anyone. I'm not here to judge you - I'm 
                        simply giving you information. 
                      Anxiety 
                        & Strain - Come From: Coffee, 
                        Tea, Soda (lemonades & 
                        mineral waters)
                      And 
                        I am telling you that the number one thing I've cleared 
                        out of people's "third eye" is there is this 
                        cloud or this haze around it, from coffee, tea and soda. 
                        And what happens is, that coffee tea and soda - yes they 
                        increase your energy - but they also increase your anxiety. 
                        
                      Coffein 
                        makes you more likely to worry. And it makes you project 
                        into the future - to think: what might happen that is 
                        bad in the future. Coffein also makes your muscles uptight 
                        and tense. It can lead to muscular problems. The lower 
                        self with the ego tries to tell us, that we need coffein 
                        for energy. And I used to believe that, too. I drank a 
                        pot of coffee every day. And I used to drink diet Cola. 
                        I liked the taste - and I liked, how it made me feel. 
                        But what happened because I was drinking so much coffein? 
                        I couldn't sleep at night!
                      So 
                        I had to drink wine at night to make myself turn off all 
                        that coffein - and sleep. So it was going up, down - up, 
                        down - up, down - every day. And I was getting nowhere 
                        in life.
                      Message 
                        Of The Angels:
                        You don't need Coffein as your Energy Source - Any Energy 
                        comes from God (= good) 
                        
                      So 
                        the angels told me: "You don't need coffee for energy. 
                        They said: "All Energy comes from God!" They 
                        said: "God is everywhere - including inside you - 
                        therefore all the energy you need is inside of you!" 
                        And I argued with the angels about this. I said: "You 
                        don't know what it is like here on earth. It is really 
                        hard here!" (The audience laughs)
                      And 
                        so they said - they gave me not a challenge, but it was 
                        almost that. They said: "Just way down to one cup 
                        of coffee a day." And they said: "Just see, 
                        how you feel after one cup of coffee!" I didn't think 
                        I could do it, as a busy busy mother and with a job and 
                        so much to do. I thought I needed my 
                        coffee to get everything done. They said instead: "just 
                        try it". So what I did, I asked the angels to support 
                        me and give me help, so that I didn't crave the coffee. 
                        And they are very happy to do that, for anyone who asks.
                      So 
                        it was like a miracle. I went down to one cup of coffee 
                        a day without any headaches, without any withdraws without 
                        awful cravings. And what I noticed is that my mind could 
                        suddenly focus. And because I could focus, I was able 
                        to manifest much more efficiently. 
                      My 
                        mind didn't go all over the place, I wasn't worrying so 
                        much, my skin started to look better - and the angels 
                        then said: "Ok - you're gonna loose that last cup 
                        of coffee!" And I said: "Really, sinceriously?" 
                        And they said: "You don't need this! You're source 
                        of energy is God - not that coffee!" They actually 
                        told me, that I was giving adoratory powers to that cup 
                        of coffee, I was saying that that was God, that was my 
                        source.. That's how I was.
                      If 
                        You Have More Energy, That Means That You Have More Time
                      So 
                        I said: "Alright
!" And that was back in 
                        1996. And I travel through every timezone constantly. 
                        And I'm telling you that I have more energy now, since 
                        I gave up coffein. 
                        And when you have more energy - you have more time, because 
                        you don't get tired so much. So you have more effective 
                        hours per day when you have more energy. 
                      So 
                        that's the first thing that blocks the "third eye". 
                        
                        (comment by Regina: the first thing after the animal products)
                      Cheese 
                        Blocks Your Spiritual Powers
                      
                       The 
                        second most common thing, that blocks the spiritual power 
                        - is cheese
                        (comment by Regina: the first thing 
                        after the animal products) 
                      What 
                        they showed me is, that it is very much like if your frying 
                        something at home with a lot of oil - and that oil goes 
                        everywhere. So there is this filminess, this oiliness 
                        around the "third eye". And it is very much 
                        like if you took a piece of cheese and put it on a window. 
                        Just scrape that piece of cheese on the window. You could 
                        not see through that window. 
                      The 
                        angels said: "If people want to see the future, if 
                        they wanna to see energy - and they're still eating a 
                        lot of cheese, they might as well put a piece of cheese 
                        right here (Doreen pretends putting a big piece of cheese 
                        right at the place of the "third eye". The audience 
                        is laughing) And it is even worse, that the cheese comes 
                        from cows that suffered. 
                      And 
                        so I said: "Ok, this is getting too much. Ok, so 
                        I've given up meat, I gave up coffee, I gave up wine. 
                        And now cheese, too?! This is not gonna be any fun at 
                        all!" And I did - I resented it. But they said: "We're 
                        gonna give you substitutes, because we know you enjoy 
                        the taste and the texture of cheese." And I'm not 
                        talking about that fake vegan cheese, it tastes horrible 
                        (the audience laughs laudly and enjoys her words). It's 
                        
 it's just horrible. What is that. That is not cheese. 
                        That's a block of soup or plastic or something like this.
                      So 
                        the angels said: "We want you to try eating 
                        hummus - as a substitute." 
                        (Comment by Regina: Hummus (there 
                        are many similar names) is an oriental speciality, 
                        which is made from pureed chickpeas, sesame-puree (Tahin), 
                        olive oil, lemon juice, salt and spices as garlic, persil, 
                        (Chili) and cumin).
                      So 
                        you are familiar with hummus? 
                      It's 
                        a ground up chickpeas with garlic and olive oil. And if 
                        you are allergic to garlic you could put other seasonings 
                        in it. 
                       
                        Eating Bread Depresses Your Feelings
                        Like this we bottle up ourselves - and 
                        that is why we suffer adiposis
                      And 
                        so - that was, when I became Vegan. So pretty much they 
                        stripped everything away from me. And then - just when 
                        I thought, there would be nothing more that can remain 
                        from my diet, about five years ago - they told me to go 
                        glutenfee. (the audience laughs) Anyone else got that 
                        'memo'?
                        (audience: some raise their hands). Are other glutenfree 
                        vegans here? (Yes) 
                      We 
                        should have our own support group! (the audience laughs) 
                         
                      But 
                        glutenfree is actually a bene blessing for me. I don't 
                        know about you - but I love to eat. Anyone else love food 
                        and love to eat? (the audience laughs). Do you know that 
                        food is the only addiction, that you can't quit completely. 
                        If you're an alcoholic, you can quit drinking alcohol. 
                        The same with drugs and smoking and gambling. But with 
                        food - unless you are ready to 
                        become a breatharian, you've got to eat. Your 
                        addiction everyday.
                      So 
                        I told you, that I wrote this book constant craving about 
                        the connection between emotions and eating. And so I have 
                        a whole chapter about bread in that book. When we think 
                        of bread, we usually think of wheatbread. Now this is 
                        interesting for Vegans. Because I'm sure you've all heard 
                        from people who are not vegans: "Well, plants have 
                        feelings, too!" - "You're murdering plants, 
                        by being a vegan", they say. 
                        And that is one reason, why people become fruitarians 
                        and just eat fruit. The silliest argument that 
                        I hear from people who eat meat - they say this to me 
                        on facebook all the time - and I have to resist - being 
                        smart aleck back to them. They say to me: "If everyone 
                        quit eating meat, there'd be too many animals running 
                        around this planet." (the audience laughs)
                        
                      "And 
                        what's wrong with that?" I say. It sounds like the 
                        kind of planet that I wanna be on. But one of the arguments, 
                        that the ones who eat meat say, is that there is this 
                        study that when wheat is grown, there is a high percentage 
                        of field-mice that are killed to grow the wheat. And summon 
                        to the study, that said: vegans kill more animals than 
                        meateaters, because of these fieldmice being killed for 
                        wheat. 
                      But 
                        regardless - going glutenfree mostly means being wheatfree. 
                        Now in America that is very important, because of the 
                        monster evil Monsanto has made everything genetically 
                        modified. You are so smat - to not let GMO 
                        be here in Europe (GMO = Genetically 
                        Modified Foods). 
                      But 
                        what I noticed, when I went wheatfree and became glutenfree, 
                        is that I lost a lot of weight just like that. In my chapter 
                        about bread in "Constant Craving" I talk about 
                        how people eat bread for comfort. That's especially true 
                        - if you eat hot bread with butter, it is comforting your 
                        feelings. It is like having a drink. And every former 
                        breat that you could tell me about, has a different emotional 
                        meaning. And when you eat a lot of wheat, it holds your 
                        emotions down. 
                      Glutenfree 
                        Diet Sets Your Feelings Free And Opens Your Senses - 
                        You Become Very Sensitive
                      So 
                        what I noticed when I became glutenfree - is that my emotions 
                        all came out. And I was forced to deal with them and face 
                        them. 
                        I started to have pastlife memories. 
                        That actually answered a lot of questions I had about 
                        my life. I started to deal with a grief from losses I've 
                        had in my life. What I found as a glutenfree Vegan is, 
                        that I am extremely sensitive.
                      And 
                        so my readings are so accurate and detailed now. And the 
                        books I write happen by themselves almost, because I can 
                        hear this voice of the divine. I just write, what I am 
                        hearing. And I'm one of the lightworkers who reads the 
                        news - and watches the news, because I think it is important 
                        for us to be involved in the world's affairs. And I get 
                        two Types of news. The kind that I read and watch - and 
                        then they tell me the truth, what's really going on. It 
                        is troubeling, what's going on in this world right now.
                      Vegan 
                        Lifestye Is A Big Part Of The Cure For The World
                      But 
                        the angels say that we would 
 there is still time, 
                        there is still a lot of hope. And Veganism is a big part 
                        of the cure for the world.
                      I 
                        think that we have to work on the word "Veganer".
                      Because 
                        there are so many people who do not like that word vegan 
                        - have you noticed? I walked in a store here in Hamburg 
                        yesterday, and they said: "Why are you here in town? 
                        Why are you visiting" And I said: "I am here 
                        to lecture the Vegan Conference." And the man said: 
                        "Vegans!" Er sagte: "Well, they wear leather 
                        shoes - don't they?" And see, this is what people 
                        are always looking - to see inconsistencies in us. Because 
                        deep down they feel guilty for the way they are living 
                        and they think, we're judging them.
                      When 
                        I post about Veganism on facebook, I'm very often attacked 
                        for it. And the number one attack I get is from people 
                        who say that I'm judging them. But see, that's there own 
                        feelings projected onto me. They're 
                        judging themselves. 
                      But 
                        what we have to watch is, that we don't perpetuate that 
                        stereotype of Vegans as being judgemental. We have to 
                        not be judgemental.
                      So 
                        - there are so many types of Vegans - as you know. There 
                        is fruitarians. There 
                        is those who will not have any kind of honey, 
                        or silk, or leather. 
                        There is vegans who won't eat anything that has yeast 
                        in it, because they don't wanna kill the yeast. 
                      And 
                        what's troubeling is when the different types of vegans 
                        start to jugde each other. "You're not a good enough 
                        vegan, because you break this rule." 
                      Let's 
                        Call it "Compassionate Living" instead of Veganism
                        A Life Free From The Causation Of Cruelties
                      So 
                        - instead of calling it Veganism, what I would love to 
                        see is - we call it "Compassionate Living"! 
                        Because that's really what we're about: we're about compassion.
                      Or 
                        cruelty free living. Because it's much more than a diet, 
                        what we eat. 
                      We 
                        are here, to bring more kindness to this planet. And it 
                        is not only kindness to animals. It's got to be that kindness 
                        to other people. 
                      
                         
                          |  
                             We 
                              are here, to bring more kindness to this planet. 
                              And 
                              it is not only kindness to animals.  
                              It's got to be that kindness to other people.

                      CHINA 
                        - Number One Exporter For Leather from Stolen Dogs And 
                        Cats
                      So 
                        I'm one of the vegans who is leather free. But I don't 
                        judge people who wear leather. Because that wouldn't be 
                        very kind of me to judge. That would not be compassionate. 
                        But what I do is: I'm trying to educate. I'm trying to 
                        teach people. Because a lot of people think that leather 
                        just comes from cows, who are gonna die anyway for a "Hamburger". 
                        And what they don't realize is that this may have been 
                        how it used to be one time. 
                      But 
                        these days - most leather products come from China. And 
                        China is the number one exporter to the world of all the 
                        leather. And it is not a byproduct of the meat industry. 
                        Animals are treated horribly and suffer for the leather. 
                        
                      And 
                        investigations by PETA have found, that a lot of leather 
                        products that come from China - do not come from cows 
                        or pigs. Over two Million dogs and cats are stolen from 
                        their pet owners every year in China. Because the Chinese 
                        leather manufactures have found a free source of leather 
                        by stealing people's pets. And they are skinning the poor 
                        dogs and cats alive - to get the fur and the leather off 
                        of them. (horrified reaction of the audience). 
                      So 
                        if you still use leather products - I don't judge you 
                        - but I ask that you please make shure it is not from 
                        China. And you see - a lot of people don't know this. 
                        So if we could just spread this word. Because I don't 
                        know anyone who wants to wear dog boots. But that is what 
                        has been sold.
                      
                         
                          |  
                             So 
                              if we could just spread this word ! 
                              Because 
                              I don't know anyone who wants to wear dog boots.. 
                               
                              But 
                              that is what has been sold. 
                           | 
                        
                      
                      And 
                        then - the vegan shoes - these are (she points at her 
                        shoes). But we - as compassionate people - we also have 
                        to make sure we're not buying vegan shoes from sweat-shops 
                        (comment: that have been produced under inhumane conditions. 
                        Because - yes - a cow didn' suffer to make those shoes 
                        - but maybe a little child is been forced to work 16 hours 
                        a day for hardly any money (comment: and mostly have to 
                        lead a very distressed, miserable and poverty life). So 
                        I am asking you to do some research. And we've got to 
                        make sure: shoes and our purses are not only vegan, but 
                        eco friendly. And they don't have to cost that much money. 
                        You can buy ecofriendly vegan shoes on ebay. 
                        
                      Because 
                        it is not only what you eat - but what you wear. If we 
                        wear the energy of suffering, it affects us energetically. 
                        
                      I 
                        see all of the solutions for this planet coming from compassionate 
                        living. 
                      When 
                        You Become A Vegan, Your Mind And Thoughts Are Clear
                      When 
                        you become vegan and chemical free, your mind clears. 
                        And all the sudden you can see the truth ! The politicians 
                        don't like that very much! The money changers don't like 
                        that very much! 
                        But think about a world of highly aware consumers, who 
                        have a lot of energy. 
                      When 
                        you become a vegan - your self esteem and your confidence 
                        goes up. Because you know that you're doing the right 
                        thing! The number one factum that creates low self esteem 
                        is guilt, because you're doing something that you know 
                        you're not supposed to be doing. 
                        It is not someone else judging you. But you judge yourself 
                        when you feel guilty.
                        (comment Regina: it means, that 
                        you feel the self judgment, when you feel guilty). 
                      We 
                        Are Being Called To Live What We Talk
                      So 
                        in this new energy we are being called to walk or talk. 
                        
                      We 
                        are being called to do the right thing. We are being called 
                        to educate other persons and bring awareness of what's 
                        really going on. Right now is such an amazing time in 
                        Vegan History. There is more awareness and discussion 
                        about animal rights than I've ever seen before. 
                      So 
                        you all know about the dolphins that are being slaughtered 
                        in Japan. And you probably know that the way that that's 
                        financed - is by: some of the dolphins being sold to aquariums 
                        and dolphin shows. And we're asking for everyone - from 
                        a compassion standpoint to not buy tickets to see dolphins 
                        in captivity. 
                      The 
                        reason why animals suffer - is because of the focus on 
                        money. Those Dolphins are brutally murdered in Japan and 
                        other places, because the people who are doing it, only 
                        hear about money.
                        And we as consumers can fight back - by not giving them 
                        any money. And it's all of these kind of steps, that will 
                        unravel all of the cruelty in the world. And that includes 
                        sweat shops and animal suffering. They're both important. 
                        
                      Vegan 
                        Life Does Not Only Mean To Be Free Of Animal-Products
                        But It Means - To Be Free Of The Causation Of Cruelties!
                        
                      Because 
                        veganism doesn't just mean being animal free. It means 
                        being crueltyfree!
                      It 
                        means being aware of everything! Including: is your makeup 
                        brush made out of fur - or not?! It means: taking the 
                        time to do the research to find out if the mints that 
                        you are eating are made from gelatin, which come from 
                        cow bone (comment: also calf bone and pork bone). 
                        But all of this work that we're going through - and all 
                        of the discomfort from having people not understand you 
                        - is worth it. I've been travelling around the world since 
                        1995 to 1996. And I speak in front of thousands of people 
                        every month. And in each audience I ask them the same 
                        question. I always ask audiences: "How many of you 
                        are getting intuition to change your diet?" And about 
                        80% of my audiences everywhere around the world say they 
                        are getting messages to become more vegetarian or vegan. 
                        
                      So 
                        this is something that everyone knows deep down, that 
                        this is what would be best for them. And so it is important, 
                        we don't judge people who are still eating meat. Instead 
                        - we need to educate and encourage them. 
                        Teach them to let go the fears about not getting enough 
                        protein. Where I am from in America "The American 
                        Dietetic Assiciation" has said that a vegan diet 
                        gives you plenty of protein, if it is well planned. Teach 
                        people please, that just a little bit in the direction 
                        of the veganism makes a difference.
                      Sir 
                        Paul McCartney Calls You To Join The Meat Free Mondays!
                        Paul, his wife Linda and 
                        daughter Stelle are making fabulous vegan shoes
                      For 
                        instance: Sir Paul McCartney - one of my heroes (the audience 
                        is laughing) - who's wife Linda and who's daughter Stella 
                        McCartney makes fabulous vegan shoes. Stella McCartney 
                        Boots are great! You don't have to look like a doubty 
                        hippie to have vegan shoes (the audience is laughing). 
                        You can be a glamorous vegan. Sir Paul McCartney at all 
                        of his concerts gives out brochures to everyone that comes 
                        to his concerts. And the brochure says: "Please join 
                        me in having meat free Mondays!" He says "Just 
                        one day a week go without meat!"
                      So 
                        it may be too much, to expect the whole world to be vegan 
                        right now, even though if that's what I want - and I see 
                        it for the future. But let's encourage people - little 
                        baby steps. Please join me in pledging as vegans - we're 
                        gonna be nice to people who eat meat. Let's let go with 
                        the stereotype that we're judgemental - ok! And that is 
                        true compassionate living!
