In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

As I see it, what is missing in the above explanation is that Ra does not say to do nothing if attacked, in other words, not to defend one's self (or an other-self). Ra says that regardless of what happens, love would be the balanced emotional response.

Ra would certainly not tell us what to do.

Right. But Ra didn't say that we are to just do nothing, and let someone attack us or our family. Responding with love is not the same as doing nothing and letting everything be. For one thing, there is the respect for the physical body which houses our consciousness, and which we are caretakers of.

With regard to eating meat and supporting the industry, to just let it be because one doesn't want to interfere with any human free will is to ignore it. Just as not doing anything about an attacker is ignoring the situation. One can still respond with love and defend oneself. The idea of responding with love is what is in your heart. You may hate the attacker and defend yourself. You may also love the attacker and defend yourself.

Again, with regard to the meat industry, the question has been asked by the creator of this thread, which opened the door to opinions and viewpoints. The door is open, and the question asked, so I feel I am causing no infringement upon any member's free will by expressing my thoughts. (And this goes for everyone here.)
