Speaking more from the angle of my own personal experience, I have eaten a LOT of meat in my time... but probably the majority between the ages of 8 to 24. As a kid, if we went out to eat I would have no problem putting down two pounds of steak.
Nowadays I really don't care for beef that much at all. But I will eat it if served to me. But as far as portion size- four ounces seems about right. Besides actually being the correct portion size from a nutritional standpoint, this is what feels right to my body.
Way back when I first embarked upon my study of comparative spirituality and religion- which incidentally led me to the Ra material- I flip-flopped a lot between ascetic and libertine approaches to spiritual growth.
I actually believe either path will result in growth... but the problem is that to see either through to the end causes one to sacrifice either liberty or solidarity... neither of which I was willing to give up.
This eventually led me to discern a third path, by which I allow my experience to naturally flow on its own, and simply observe what happens within. As this applies to diet- it gives me license to "eat whatever I want" so long as I am paying close attention to the effect it has on my body. This has resulted in a more balanced growth process, I believe.
But looking back I wonder... what really drove my body to have such a strong desire for meat in the first place? I don't think it was merely social conditioning.
When I start allowing for some more obscure or esoteric angles- like genetic manipulation of humanity by 4D entities- then I can see how it would be necessary from a big picture standpoint for higher density beings to willingly choose to incarnate into these limited forms- in order to make repairs from within.
But in order to do this, one must first accept the program. So if the biological program says that I "need to eat meat" then I need to become aware of, and accept, that program before I can change it. Keep in mind, I think only a certain portion of humanity actually carries this set of genes. I wouldn't at all be surprised if such a study came out very shortly.
Now- supposing that is part of the mission of many wanderers (or whatever you want to call them) is it a service or a disservice to choose a vegetarian lifestyle purely out of a noble, but rather unattainable, ideal? Couldn't that derail the mission?
