Glad to hear that! I was concerned that you might be, so I wanted you to know that no offense was intended.

By that logic, I suppose it could be said that you and I are both judging others, but based on different criteria.

I don't see it as judging others. I see it as discernment of actions that some find acceptable and others do not. We are each entitled to the expression of our own views.

As the vibration rises the need for physical sustenance is nullified and replaced with gaining energy from that which is around you-- no eating just energizing.
Do you think that happens spontaneously? Or is it a process?
I think of it as a process...with eliminating dead animals from one's diet as the first logical step. I can't imagine going from a standard diet to breatharianism overnight!

True. But they consume them live. That makes a huge difference.
Also, are not dolphins and whales 3D entities, just like us? Maybe more advanced than us, but still 3D. So I'm not sure they're necessarily role models in this regard. They are certainly more advanced than we are in the sense that they aren't violent...but that doesn't necessarily mean that everything they do is optimal or ideal.

And the same to you!

It is really the very antithesis of being a fairy farm girl to take the animal out of the forest feed it all the wrong foods and then treat it with great belligerence. Not Fairy at all.
I assumed so...glad to hear it! That is something we can agree on!

Not sure when anyone did that.

Fairy, I invite you to separate actions from people.
A person can engage in an act that is inherently STS without being labeled STS. (What is that other 49% anyway?)
Disapproving of an action is discernment. Disapproving of a person is judgment. That's how I see it anyway.
I personally and vehemently disapprove of eating animals. But I do not judge people who eat animals. There is a fine line between discernment and judgment. We have the right to disagree on this. It needn't be construed as a judgment.
