In regards to eating meat

[Unbound]

Ra states that the first and second dimensions function pretty much automatically, even though animals are indeed intelligent and conscious wouldn't this also suggest that those in charge of "deciding" what their life will be for are aware of their most likely path given the planetary conditions? I'm not saying that things couldn't be more humane, and that there is an overindulgence of meat, however I think that the idea of eating flesh isn't necessarily STS in nature. Do not the animals also gain in positive polarity by their sacrifice and thus also have the possibility of increased spiritual growth? My argument here is not a "this or that" sort of thing, but to present the idea that everything is a relationship. In whatever way a human "negatively" takes from an animal, it should be positively restored to the animal in spirit, this would seem to me the way karma works. It is not just with particular deeds but with absolutely every action. In short, negativity is much of an illusion.

What about the people who don't need to eat anything at all to survive (like yoga masters), where did they get all the nutrients? Is it because they can harness energy in space and transform into nutrients?

In one of the Gnostic teachings I learned it seems they are able to transform the energy of Impressions in to usuable energy for the body and have also maximized their capacity to gain and transmute energy from the breath. Food, being third dimensional, is one of the lower grades of energy we can use to energize. Impressions being that which spirals in to the solar plexus, the emotional/feeling center of experience. They stated that the "ego"s which plague many are indigested Impressions we have recieved over time, and the masters have both dissolved and learned to transmute this raw energy in to "finer" qualitive energy.

Of course, this is just one explanation I have seen.
