The act of eating is a service.

[Monica]

Tell me about it, I have a family of 5 that I feed.

I already did. I told you "all about it" over yonder in that 'other' thread.

I don't think that was Valtor's question, the OP question was "Is eating a selfish act or communal act?" And he stated that he views it as communion, a unifying (STO) act. And I agree with him.

The problem is that eating cannot be separated from the act of acquiring food, which is no longer a natural, rhythmic and harmonious act.

There are negative, separating, thought-forms in the ethers that would have us believe otherwise.

There might also be positive thought-forms in the ethers, that are trying to bring to our attention, the impact of our choices.

But Christ said, "It's not what goes into the mouth that defiles you, but the words that come out of the mouth that defile you." Mt. 15:11 This statement also resonates with me, I believe Christ actually made this statement.

Maybe so, but I think it's taken out of context. Not to mention, the other things attributed to Christ, about violating the Temple with energies of death.

Regardless of where others-selves draw the line of responsibility in choices in acquiring food, it's not relevant to the original question. Food choice is a personal and individual choice based on numerous factors, of which we cannot possibly know completely.

I disagree that it's irrelevant. It's relevant to anyone who thinks it's relevant. It's relevant because such 'choices' have a huge impact on other-selves and on the planet. How is that not relevant?

What's so funny about that?
