In regards to eating meat

"From this Oneness, there are many distortions, including all of things that we subjectively label "good" or "bad", STS or STO, right or wrong. However, even though this is true it can also be used as a way to rationalize and justify apathy and indifference. This converts what I see as great truths into functionally meaningless "New Age Platitudes". Now, I am certainly NOT saying that is what YOU are doing right now, I want to make that very clear. I am speaking in a general way about the "All is well no matter what" concept that gets bandied about. In my own life, if I am honest with myself, I must admit that I've used it both as a way to e accept, honor, and integrate my experiences in a healthy spiritual fashion, but also as a way to escape from dealing with catalyst and complex situations. It is up to each of us to look within and decide how we are using this higher understanding.

For a wanderer in particular, I see this higher awareness of Oneness as a great boon, and yet also a great pitfall, depending upon how we apply that knowledge."

Yes. This is what Life is. This is what we do no matter what level of intelligence we have achieved. We cannot escape it. The choice is made within these parameters. We justify happiness, we justify sadness, we justify anger, we justify our choices. This is what thought is, it is what we do every day every moment.
