In regards to eating meat

[3DMonkey]

The ideas of viewing others as not wanting to evolve or that eating meat means that they are not evolving are not compassionate ideas, IMO.

I think evolving is a side effect.

I am kind of seeing it as a bubble, a sphere, an expanding field of awareness of "other". Expanding this field of perception, is like growing, but not the same as evolving. I really think evolving is a side effect of no longer "needing" what I would call "weight". Whether that be the weight of matter we ingest, or the weight of materialistic goods that we collect, it all seems to be weight that we slough off like an insect sheds its skin, possibly even changing its form.

I would say that I existed in the stage you are at, and would have continued if not for the health effects that appeared around age 38-39. So there may come a point where you are cornered by catalyst as I was, and be forced to make a choice. That would most likely cause a change, then after the change comes a shift in perception, which when permanent might be called "evolving".

So some of us on this thread may have intuitively made the change, I was backed in to a corner. Although, depending on your development as a soul portion, it may not even be on your "to do" list. However, I will assume it is since you are on this thread LMAO!

I totally get that. I can accept LIFE backing me into a corner. The thing for me personally is that I've tried all the health stuff you talk about. For me, it takes on a negative effect because I become obsessed with eating and my spirit lets in more "bad" stuff than food ever would. And, it may be my journey that I find myself in the same corner and THAT is what helps me change.
