From Qu'O, Oct. 16 2010:
"One valid choice that many of those who have awakened have made is not to eat meat and to find ways to furnish the body with the protein that meat offers by eating other substances, such as legumes, which contain protein. [1]
Another choice that an awakened entity has, as the questioner said, is to move to the purchase only of meats that have been humanely slaughtered. There are two sources of such meats that are generally available to entities within a reasonable amount of distance from where they live. One is to seek out a kosher store [2] which sells meat, knowing that the priests of that religion have treated animals well and have slaughtered them in a sacred ritual which is taken most seriously by those priests.
The other is to find a biodynamic source where the same feeling of sacredness surrounds the appreciation of mammals while they live and the humane slaughter of them when it is time for them to feed their humans.
And as the one known as J said, barring those choices, there is always the metaphysically correct choice of relating to the animal in that timeless condition which is called “metaphysical time” wherein all things occur simultaneously, so that you are able to contact any animal, before you eat it, no matter how abused or how slaughtered. And as you contact this animal, you express your love of this animal and your appreciation for all that the animal has gone through in order to give you its energy, its consciousness, such as it is, and its love, which is very real. So, in praise, prayer and thanksgiving you heal the division between you and the meat and the animal from which that meat came.
And as you do this to your meat, dancing with the meat, becoming one with the meat, you are in effect lifting that energy to the infinite Creator, blessing it and healing all that has gone before, for the animal and for you."
I am sure you all know that Hitler was a vegetarian… not eating meat does not automatically make you a better person. It is not what goes into your mouth that counts but what comes out of it… some Jesus quote.
I have a colleague here who is a die-hard vegetarian… you should see her. She is pale as a sheet, spotty complexion, prone to hysterics and always goes on about how she is so conscious of everything she eats and eats so healthy blablabla… not to mention she suffers from extreme anemia. Doctor found out her iron levels are non-existent. I sometimes think “it would not do her harm to eat meat occasionally”… meat can also help to ground a person (she is hysterical, as I already mentioned) But she will jump into your face if you talk about eating meat.
I have a problem with the fanatism that shows in so many vegetarians / vegans… that does not seem truly spiritual to me. Spirituality and fanatism is incompatible in my view.
