In regards to eating meat

[Richard]

Ra was giving advice specifically for Carla, who suffered from a serious lack of vital energy due to the channeling and needed concentrated calories. It wouldn't have been practical for them to be raw foodists because they weren't used to it. Ra listed foods that were familiar to Carla and would be most useful to her in that context to support the working.

I don't think it's immoral to eat animals. I don't even think it's necessarily unhealthy - if you keep your intake down to less than 10% of total calories you can be very healthy on a diet that includes animals.

The issue is that it's not ideal.

The thing about raw food is that it's what you could call "an unknown unknown".

There are the things in life that you KNOW you KNOW. You know you know how to drive a car.

Then there are the things that you know you DON'T KNOW. You know that you don't know how to fly a plane, or how to speak Chinese. You're aware that these skills are things you don't have, and are content with them.

But there is also another category - the things you DONT KNOW YOU DONT KNOW. And it is this category that has the most to offer you. The stuff that you don't know you don't know is stuff that can totally change your life.

The truth is that for most people including those in this thread, you don't know that you don't know. You don't know because you've never tried it and because you have incorrect beliefs that has been implanted into you by society. This is ok, this is a big part of living on Earth, but the point is just that you have no idea how much your life might improve by improving your diet.

It's just not true that everyone has a different ideal diet based on genes and culture. The human biology does not work out this way. The ideal diet is ideal because it is the diet that all humans share and that all humans evolved for over literally millions of years. Humans are adaptable and can survive on practically anything, but some things make them happier and healthier than others and most people don't know what they're missing until they try it.

An example is celiac disease. This is a disease that doctors will say only occurs in 3% of the population. Celiac disease is a diseases whereby you demonstrate very unhealthy symptoms when you eat food with gluten - breads, pastas and starchy foods like that. The truth is that *everyone* has celiac disease, just for most humans they don't notice because it is not severe enough. Celiac disease is probably the reason why many vegans and vegetarians go back to eating meat - they were eating too much rice and pasta and bread and not enough fruits and vegetables, so meat is actually an improvement over their vegan/veggie diet.

*Everyone* has celiac disease. There isn't a single human in the world who will not feel more energetic by clearing out their intestines of the gummy gluten and replacing it with a better food such as fish or fruit. This is the type of thing that people don't know they don't know and it's just the tip of the iceberg.

A similar thing happens with cheese. A lot of vegetarians go cheese-crazy and end up being a lot more unhealthy because of it.

The only responsible way to go vegan or vegetarian without harming your health is to increase your intake of fruits and vegetables. *That* is where all the health benefits come from. And since vegetables don't provide calories, this means getting calories from fruit.

Our genetic ancestors (apes) did not live in the cold. When the ETs combined Martian DNA with Earth-ape DNA to create humans 75,000 years ago they took on the digestive system of the ape, who did not live in Europe or Canada or Russia. These are unnatural environments for our bodies. Humans are tropical creatures just like apes and have the same basic diet as apes.


We adapted to the cold northern environment, but at a cost. Our lifespans decreased, our psychic abilities atrophied, our energy went down.

The human body only uses glucose - every calorie you put into your stomach is broken down into glucose before being absorbed into your cells. When you put a complex carb, a starchy potato, beef, or bread, that stuff just gets turned into fruit anyway. Fruit is mostly glucose. Fruit is already in the digestible form.

I agree that cooked food is delicious, but so are many harmful substances like alcohol and tobacco and cocaine. No one ever regrets increasing their fruit intake.

Yossarian,

If Ra can suggest that Carla to ingest meat for her health, then it stands to reason that the practice is not frowned on. If one makes a conscience decision to not eat meat, for whatever reasons..I applaud your choice. But since this is a LOO board, some of the posts seem to suggest that vegetarianism is the preferred lifestyle within the Ra teachings. I’ve yet to find that true.
