Does eating meat preclude graduation to 4th D STO?

Hi Ankh and Jim,

I agree, repression is depolarizing. Also doing something purely by willpower, to control the body, I would think is depolarizing ( as per se with our diets, especially to lose weight for instance. ) The body needs TLC, and willful control will hamper the joyful self - love that helps us to thrive .

Are you saying a person should just indulge every whim? 

Regarding diet, we are probably all somewhat addicted to things such as sugar and junk food simply by being born into recent generations (at least in the U.S.). Should someone just indulge a whim (based on addiction) when that person recognizes they are feeding their body junk? In this case wouldn't it be more efficacious to "control" the body and feed it good food until the body ceases to crave junk, even though it won't create joy while the body is adjusting? Even doing this with love will probably not make the body comfortable if it is craving sugar, alcohol, junk food, etc.
