That's exactly how it works Tasha. All beings need energy in some form. Usually the universe works in a way to build co-creative and self-sustaining eco-systems that benefit all life. In this case, the OC has established its own agenda separated from the natural order of life. Ever seen the scenes from the Matrix where Neo is shown the fields of human batteries? It's is such a powerful metaphor for this situation. Except its happening whilst people are walking around in their day-to-day lives and most are unaware of it. They just get stressed, angry, attached, over emotional, or worn out. The feelings then tend to be suppressed with comfort eating or alcohol. And to pep up again with soft drugs like caffeine and sugar. Which utlimately lower ones vibration by desensitising. It's a downward spiral which keep people entrapped in the lower vibrational frequency. As I said in my article, that's why when people truly step onto the spiritual path, there's a natural pull to purify and cleanse internally especially through diet.
