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

[The_Tired_Philosopher]

I'm hearing the same lame arguments again and again, specifically that, since ultimately all is One, polarity doesn't matter, STS is cool too, hey just be STS, it doesn't matter what we do because those 'victims' chose it on some level, blah blah blah.

I've said this repeatedly and I'll say it again: Try substituting humans for animals and see how that works for you. Use your exact same arguments, but with people:

They chose it on a soul level.

It's all good...STS is good too.

You need to accept that some people chose to be raped, tortured and murdered, so go ahead and pay an assassin to rape, torture and murder multiple people on a daily basis...yeah go ahead and do that if that's how you get your jollies...after all, I'd never want to judge you if you enjoy the thrill of watching people getting tortured and killed. That's no different from enjoying the taste of their flesh. In fact, if you happen to be a cannibal and want to eat the victims, go right ahead! Just be careful not to get caught, since it's illegal. But from a spiritual perspective, it doesn't matter. Nothing matters. It's all good.

How does that work for you? Did you find yourself nodding in agreement?

No? Why not? The concepts are the SAME. The ONLY difference is that animals are younger souls. That's it. No other difference.

Therefore, your concepts fall flat. 

Unless, of course, you prefer what Q'uo calls the 'dark and bloody path.' Indeed, some prefer it. In that case, yeah, your arguments make sense.

I offered suggestions to the mods that they make a decision about whether this forum is to be unapologetically STO-biased or not, as is Ra. At this point, it isn't. So it's quite alright if some aren't STO-oriented. Hey, whatever works for you, go for it!

But we can never find understanding between us, if you aren't of the Path of Light, the STO path. Our paradigms are just too different. At the time of this forum's inception, I was told that, of course it was designed to be a forum for STO-oriented seekers. But that has changed. I realize now that I can no longer assume that everyone here has the same orientation. That is OK. I just need to make that mental adjustment, which is what I'm doing now.

Your orientation is STO?

This argument sounds very fear based, ignores another's opinion and even judges them as wrong.

You're right, this forum isn't STO oriented, and you're part of that...  Read your posts only imagine you're us.

Believe it or not, the Italics in your quote might be true in some ways.  You just choose not to believe it.
Nothing wrong with that.

But don't defend yourself as STO, it gives those who actually are in a general sense a bad name.

You're like an Orion Crusader, DON'T EAT MEAT OR ELSE YOU'RE A MONSTER, YOU'LL DEPOLARIZE, OR ELSE

Why won't you use STO concepts and accept that not every one chooses the path you have but many similar paths exist?  Why are you acting this way?

You remind me of me Monica.  Just please stop and consider that we're trying to help you understand from our perspectives, and you grossly ignore them for your own then call us not STO then spout to be STO.
