I do eat meat and perceive it as currently non-polarized. I simply do not feel anything toward it and am you could say testing whether it remains that way or not.
If i were to not eat meat, I'd also perceive it as non-polarized. It would not bring any STO feelings within me either nor affect my polarity from my current perspective.
K i disagree with the idea that one must feel something for their actions to be polarized. Could you use that same logic in a different scenario and reach the same conclusion? Also this is just my opinion but the action or concept of feeling nothing when you are aware of suffering is STS. you Feel nothing because it is separate from you. Separation is a STS concept and mindstate. You would feel something if you truly saw it as one with yourself. this is just my opinion thru my understanding of course
I acknowledge sufferings as part of existence and not all sufferings do move my heart in the same manner as another catalyst might. I do not believe I would be any more right in trying to help than someone else who is partaking in creating suffering. What moves me and what I work upon relate to my own distortions.
If we want to speak of indirectly causing sufferings, then no one would be free of the guilt when existing within any society like ours.
