In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

[quote='Bring4th_Monica' pid='79527' dateline='1333066436']I agree that
Going within is good. Often times people will realize that their craving originates in the emotional body or in the mental body. These are then dealt with on the level at which they were created, or above.

Then one is left with the physical cravings. Affirm, deny, ask why?

Very good idea.

I guess my challenge to you would be- why not trust the body? Let's say you are totally right and meat is not good for any body. I propose- if that were true- then following the above process would result in meatless diets 100% of the time. Would you agree?

I do not go just by the body (including emotional and mental). I go by my spirit (or whatever you want to call the highest part of an individual). Ideally, it would all be in alignment.

But you raise a very interesting question about the blood, which we have touched upon before. You mentioned the lifeforce in the juice. Would you see this as essentially equivalent to the lifeforce in the blood? Is the lifeforce "tainted" because of the killing of the animal? Or is that just a taboo put upon us to cover something up? If so, what? What really was all this animal sacrifice to the "gods" about, in the first place? I wonder about that...

Of course there is life force in blood. I think that is the purpose behind dark magick and voodoo--killing animals; and even humans in some magick, also druids, Aztecs etc.

It is stolen power, a substitute for power--the power of the self. It could also be seen as an STS act. It's one of the horrors of the bible--animal sacrifice.

@ Pablisimo--once again your words from the heart are awesome.

I mentioned it before in this thread, but not as beautifully as you did: that my understanding of the subject was so expanded by reading the posts here.
