In regards to eating meat

[Shemaya]

It would just take away the truth of who I am, if I were believe that eating meat is incongruent with the STO path.

So why does it "take away the truth of who we are" to acknowledge that we're not 100% STO?

I don't think I ever said I was anywhere close to perfect. I'm not even worried about "making the grade" because I think it is one of the big distortions in the Ra material, that causes confusion for seekers.

Who I am, this physical body and genetics is truthfully made of cells that formed from the foods that I and my ancestors ingested, some of which is animal protein. My very body is made of this. I have faithfully walked an STO path for many lifetimes. Truthfully I am physically made of animals,plants, carbon based elements in my physical being. And truthfully I have been on an STO path.

So to believe that eating or my diet is incongruent with my path would be not only untrue, but very unnaccepting of who I am. You are what you eat, and I accept who I am.

Yes Monkey I would agree with you . If someone is judging another's choices in diet , it is not an STO thought.

By that logic, then if you judge the actions of a violent criminal, it's an STS thought.

Or does your logic only apply to diet? And if so, why?

I don't think so, I often feel dysjuncture when I am observing myself judging another. With a violent criminal, I usually immediately start to think about what happened in his childhood, who abused him in the past, what his/ her life was like up to that point.

That's the dissociation. The meat-eaters tend to gloss over the killing part, and say the vegetarians are "judging their choice of diet" but that's not it at all. The vegetarians aren't judging their diet! It's the torture and killing that's being judged.

If the message that I got is based on my incorrect perception, thanks for correcting my perception. But honestly, that's not what is being mostly written and debated in the thread.

It's mostly about the choice of eating or not eating meat, from what I discerned. Whenever the subject of humanely raised livestock came up in the thread, there was no agreement on that from your team, which is a shame, because it is one way to not only increase awareness, but also possibly find some middle -ground and stepping-stones towards a higher vibe, very early 4D planet.
