In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

Alright. So I recently purchased a lamb. It was raised organically by a farmer whom I met personally. He and his wife left their corporate jobs to be able to spend more time with their children. Raising organic lamb is part of how they support their family. Two days ago, I ate some of this lamb and found it to be quite delicious.

What would you say are the "higher" implications of this? Anything I really should be concerned about in the grand scheme of things?

I would say that you are to be commended for choosing organic, humanely raised (I assume that's the case) lamb. This is a huge step up from unconsciously consuming commercial meat.

I wouldn't think you had anything to worry about. I do hope that someday you connect to other life forms enough to be sensitive to them. And in the grand scheme perhaps that doesn't matter. Perhaps a life cut short (certainly the lamb's was) has no significance as we all move on to the next thing. Would it matter if yours was cut short, or your children's?

The implications are that evolution, change, expansion are happening. This universe is not static. Though 3D and 4D and all the other D's may always exist, it does not follow that they will always be the same. Change will and does continually occur. We as the observers and participants direct change with our intentions and choices. So, if I don't have to take the life of an animal for food--an animal that is in fear of being killed--I choose not to do it. I imagine that my choice helps existence to evolve in a positive direction.

No. All I am suggesting is a natural outgrowth. For example, one cannot make peace with others until they have made peace with the self. This is a prerequisite, although many are still attempting to bypass this fundamental step.

I agree with this.
