I am sitting with a friend at a restaurant. She orders a hamburger. Now, we already recognize our power to create, our spirit complex, and our direct spiritual ability to lift a 2D to 3D status. If I look at her plate and think 'that meat is tainted spiritual energy from inhumane practices it experienced and ingesting it will harm her body', then I am creating a bad spiritual energy. I, ME, the one with the thoughts. I am the one opening the door for negative thought forms. ME! Not the guy that killed the animal. ME!!!
Finding the love in the situation is to appreciate the life of the animal, the sacrifice of the animal, the life giving properties of the food on the plate. In that way, positive thought forms will cause the molecules in that dish to sing. Sing!
But does that change the fact that the animal suffered? And does it change the fact that if you follow the money spent on the burger, it will lead to the person causing the animal to suffer, and allow them to continue causing the suffering of animals?
I agree with you that appreciation for the animal is paramount, but no matter how much you appreciate it, it won't stop the suffering.
