In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

Murder is as natural as the monkey spreading nitrogen and banana seeds.

Wow. I'm stunned actually.

Population control is necessary in the balance of life. Cats killing mice is necessary. Rats spreading disease and killing humans is necessary. This 3D sphere is regenerating life by all means. Murder is a necessary part. STO accepts this fully.

Not this STO. I don't accept it.

This thread, in my view, is about personal choice. How do you feel when eating meat? How do you feel when killing an animal? And I take it further than vegetarians... How do you feel when eating a vegetable? How do you feel when tossing a spent plant into the compost bin?

I hope that this thread is not about right or wrond, good or evil, or about what the population "should" be doing. Azrael, I don't think it is STS to kill a 2D being. (there is nothing in the Ra material to suggest this ). I hope this thread isn't a political one in which we should force change in the world. I hope this thread is about personal expression of personal choice.

3D, I don't mean to be evasive here, and I hope you understand that I've already invested many hours in this thread and see no point in repeating what's already been said. Again I invite you to catch up on the thread first, and then I'd be happy to resume the discussion.

I disagree, and my interpretation of Ra's words is that they do indeed suggest this, though not explicitly stated. This too has been extensively explored in this thread.
