Why I am not a vegan

[Diana]

I like to proceed from the working theory that we are evolving, as is everything including the universe and the intelligent source from which all is manifesting.

Following this idea that we are all evolving, what are we evolving to? The answer seems simple: We are evolving to whatever we create.

I feel it is imperative for any beings who have incarnated as humans on this planet at this time of potentially destructive technology (for one thing), who have the awareness and capability, to contribute to the visualization and creation of a more evolved, peaceful, and harmonious existence, free of the enormous suffering and cruelty rampant here now.

For those not aware, capable, or even interested in contributing—fine. We all make choices and have free will.

My visualization, and this is reflected in the Ra material, is that we as beings will evolve to the point that we can exist from light (which appears freely given and not depleted when given), and not have to take any sort of life for sustenance.

It is logical, then, to take whatever steps one can toward the end goal one has in mind. If evolving to a being who can exist from light only and not take life in order to live is the goal, consuming plants rather than animals makes sense as a step toward that goal. Plants are closer to light; they use photosynthesis. And they do indeed offer at least parts of themselves as food; it is necessary for their survival (fruits, seeds; propagation).

And as for cruelty, it's a no-brainer. Trim a plant and it thrives. Cut off a leg of a cow, and it dies. Is it difficult to surmise that the plant did not suffer as much as the cow in this scenario?
