Why I am not a vegan

This states that service to others is done by opening the heart.

Yes, this seems pretty basic.

So if someone would respond I would appreciate it. I have a question.

First, I want to state that the only viable (in my opinion) reason for continuing to eat meat has come from Aion and his idea of serious transmutation to help heal, which is reminiscent of "sin-eaters" in indigenous cultures. I don't agree with it, but at least it makes some sense to me, and does not theoretically conflict with the following.

Could anyone please tell me, and I would appreciate honesty, how you could watch animals being tortured (living lives where they can hardly move in darkness, not being able to walk, feel the sun, the rain, the grass under their feet, not being able to care for their young, or have community with others of their kind, being fed unnatural food to fatten them, being shot up with antibiotics and steroids, and so on) and then go to be slaughtered (and hear their cries of terror and see them trying to get away and finally watching as their pitiable lives are ended in inhumane ways) and not feel almost unbearable sadness IF YOUR HEART IS OPEN?

This is where I can't go along with those who say they are okay with it because of the bigger picture. Could someone make me understand how this is possible? And you must make a good argument, and not some new age la-la stuff even if it comes from Ra (as what Ra has said is so often used to twist concepts, because of Ra's concern with free will and not wanting to unduly influence us), in order to have any affect on me—not because I am rigid or unswayable, but because I am intelligent and discerning and I think things out for myself.

Well in my case I've stated many times over that this experience is a self sacrifice so that one may know pain along it's path. Meat farms obviously resonate the exact experience they do offer in time/space, and that service is taken by every animal that resonates with that experience. Just like anything else there is light and love to be distilled.

About the opening of the heart, you think it works in the exact same manner for everyone? Heart blockages vary greatly for everyone and as some have gotten a few blockages from their incarnations down here, others had their heart closed before even coming on these planes and have much to unveil and distill if they hope to change it otherwise. Even when the heart is open, the heart is still a distorted mess of experiences and as such what one feels is a reflection of his own path. There are things that self accept and others that self rejects and that is so for any of us just like for those of Ra. The whole world around us being a simple mirror to face our distortions, something of our very making.

A perfectly balanced and undistorted heart would only feel love toward each entity and every actions done in these planes. That is what our evolution progress towards and where the steps of light ever lead us. But you said yourself in another thread that you reject the Logos that is like this, while in my view it is the exact incarnation of unconditional love. A love that wants to change things is very conditional toward itself, both polarities ever are self serving as self is always only acting on how it feels.
