The 3D life is filled with conundra. For example, it forces us to eat to survive, so we end up "killing" plants and animals. We evolve to not liking that necessity, and might feel guilt, yet I happen to believe that shame is okay but guilt is self-destructive.
Recall that many animals eat plants and the rest eat animals. Yuck, unless it's okay, and I think it is. We are One, so when we eat food we eat an aspect of ourselves. Yes, all things have consciousness and, IMHO, all things want that and accept the consequences.
Thinking that way, does anything go? Yes and no, IMHO. 2D experience is participation in that density for purposes expounded elsewhere. 3D experience, of any kind, is valid too, but we might as well gain from it. Respecting things before and after "killing" them and before and after eating them certainly can't hurt our goal of living the LOO. Might result in weight loss, too.
Eat vegetarian / vegan if that aligns you toward the One; I think it will. OTOH, be not harsh toward those who follow another way. I remember something channeled by the L/L group (don't remember offhand whether from Ra) that said you do more harm to the earth by being judgmental toward people who pollute it than their pollution does. I thought that was stretching it, but now I see the truth of it. First because polluting is experience. Second, when I am judgmental I separate myself from the "offender" by considering myself better.
