In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

I'm not suggesting it's fabricated, and I'm not oblivious to it.

I'm asking if you personally have been to any farms, feedlots, or slaughterhouses; I'm suggesting that the PETA videos don't show enterprises that are respectful to animals, and I'm suggesting that there are many of those.

1. Why does it matter if I've ever been to one personally? Must I travel to Africa to know that there are starving children there? But in answer to your question, I've seen the cattle feedlots from the road. I couldn't stomach going inside.

2. Why are PETA videos disregarded? Why does it matter who filmed the video? the footage is REAL.

3. Of course not ALL farms are this bad. Yes, there are still some old-fashioned, small-time farmers, like the ones in your area. But please watch the BBC film. This is the wave of the future! This method of 'farming' [sic] is being touted as the only way to feed the world's population, and is being promoted to the British "here, learn how they do it in the US." But regardless, there fact is that these do exist, and they are becoming more and more widespread. To disregard the reality of these abominations, because some 'humane' farmers still exist, is to miss the point.

4. I just posted several NON-PETA videos. Even the BBC and ABC News has reported this. And I only spent about a minute searching. There are lots more.

So would you perhaps edit Ra's quote to say that wanderers will lighten the planetary vibration "unless they eat meat?"

As the other vegetarians and I have stated numerous times, our overall vibration is based on the sum total of all our choices, not any particular choice, so it's impossible to answer that. Eating meat is one of many choices that affects our overall vibration. But it's a biggie, in my opinion, precisely because of the magnitude of its impact. And because, in most cases, it's not necessary.

Ra didn't say "don't steal" did they? Yet most of us would agree that it's pretty obvious stealing isn't cool for an STO entity.

Ra didn't provide specific guidelines on what is appropriate for us. That would defeat the purpose of the veil. We're supposed to figure it out!

But Ra gave lots of clues. Choosing the words Service to Others as the name of the positive path is a clue.

Talk about Choice, and 'answering the call' ...those too are clues.

Choosing the term animal products instead of meat when asked a general question is a clue. Adding the phrase to the extent necessary for the individual metabolism is another clue.
