In regards to eating meat

[3DMonkey]

Great post, Monica. It is clear and also thought provoking. Admittedly, I am posting before reading further.

Until the time comes to slaughter them, when the child cries upon learning of the harsh reality of 4H clubs, and on that day becomes hardened

I know 3. Two women agree. The man, well, I'm not sure he was old enough to remember the day he was 'hardened', seriously :-/ (I'll double check to make sure)

What will the entity imprint on its consciousness, as it evolves towards 3D? What kind of 3D entity will it be, because of the circumstances in which it awakened to self-awareness?

Good questions to ask. We could put that in LOO thread

A 'humanely' raised animal will likely conclude that life might be good for awhile, but then, suddenly when you least expect, those whom you loved and trusted, betray you. Such an entity will likely have serious psychological issues when s/he becomes human. S/he may have trust issues...difficulty in forming attachments...difficulty in developing relationships.

Very interesting. As I read the scenarios, I am convinced that murder or no murder, issues or no issues, the life of the animal under a more compassionate caretaker will imprint more positivity into the aura of the entity.

There is one logical point I'd like to address. 2D animals, in all their reaching up to 3D light, are easily manipulated, much like a 3D toddler. I personally don't think that an animal, having no contemplative concept of the death awaiting it, natural death or not, is necessarily going to know or realize that it died as a direct action by its compassionate caretaker. It would be an assumption.

EDIT: And now that you have been in a more lenient perspective, I'm finally noticing that the feed farms and slaughter houses, well those animals see the death of others, right? Wow, there must be a serious 2D vibration of fear/control emitting from this environment....

Uh-oh. Here we go again...

I didn't go over point for point, but I tend to take Tenet's view. Which, I think, is not about 'march against animal cruelty' like I think is Pickle's, but more about letting the 3D Other's do as they see best for themselves because it is more congruent with seeing other as self.
