[split] "Some people eat animals, some don't."

[Nicholas]

Does eating meat mean you killed the animal..?

Yes. Vicariously, but the responsibility is the same.

Just as, in a court of law, the assassin is just as guilty as the one who paid them.

...

Metaphysically I don't think that logic works in the same way...

The Payer: "I have an assignment for you. I am offering you double your normal fee. Your track record is exemplary and I would be happy to do business with you again."

The Assassin picks up the documents from the table and begins to read. He smiles then picks up the brown envelope. He raises one eyebrow as this is the first time he has ever been offered full payment in advance as well as double the amount. 

The Assassin: "You can consider it done."

The Assassin takes care of business but gets caught by law enforcement. To maintain his professionalism he remains silent during his trial and is convicted of murdering a notorious rival to The Payer.

Looking through the lens of the Law of One as I perceive it, The Payer has successfully polarised towards the negative as another negatively oriented being has done his bidding for him without coercion. No karma results, more power does.
The Assassin however took great pride in his reputation but it has become significantly damaged. The opportunity to continue learning the ways of the negative path is greatly reduced by being placed in isolation while on death row. Due to the emotional attachment with his failure he accrues Karma.

So I think attachment is the key when looking at law from a metaphysical or universal perspective, which is the difference between the gameboard and the Gameboard. In other words the Assassin is playing on the gameboard (creating karma) while The Payer is playing on the Gameboard (polarising).

Do you think it is possible Monica to graduate from this density while eating meat our entire lives? For example a good natured person becomes a pillar of support in his/her community. They are honest, committed and see no value distinction between the local vicar and a Mongolian nomad, yet his favourite time of the week is the Saturday morning trip to the local butchers for his prime rashers of bacon?
