Why I am not a vegan

[Monica]

This line of discussion makes me a little disheartened. Let's take a look at our current refugee crisis. Are you saying those that are physically helping them, bringing them food, offering them homes, are on a fool's errand? How can one say that actions have NO consequences? Of course work in consciousness is a "step up" from work on the planet, but service is service, man. The desire to alleviate pain and suffering is the motivation behind incarnating as a Brother and Sister of Sorrow. I'm not going to say that "Well, the problem is too big, so anyone who's doing anything but praying about it can't even make a dent." What if your prayers are to mobilize those who feel their service is in the direct help of those who need it? You think these problems are just going to disappear without any input from physical labor?

Even if action on the physical plane pales to "work in consciousness", the planet desperately needs those with strong 4D compassion energies, even if it brings them to the point of martyrdom. Not to mention, that one can spend a lifetime "working in consciousness" but still never open their heart chakra. I just want to say, I don't disagree that working in consciousness is paramount, I just wholeheartedly disagree with the idea that those who change their behaviors do nothing to change the way the outer world reflects that being back to them, which appears to me to be the argument here against veganism: That one person's actions do not affect change.

WELL SAID!!!

That does seem to be the argument, along with an underlying assumption that our younger other-selves aren't really other-selves and therefore don't matter.
