It can either be consumed or be left to waste. I did get that we won't find agreement upon this. But unlike what you seem to think, I have no strong desires to infringe upon others within myself nor do I feel that I polarize negatively from eating meat. I'd personally ask you to go to a grocery store and purchase meat (a small amount has no way of adding to any suffering currently happening on this earth and the meager amount you'd pay would not finance anything either), then by eating this meat you could contemplate on what you feel. Do you feel that you are infringing upon another's will? Or do you feel that you are merely repulsed by it's provenance?
In term of cause and effect I also said that your are much more karmically involved in this than I am, I could be on a vegan planet and it wouldn't change a single thing to myself nor what I am working on whereas your awareness is very focused upon this and you might even have come to this planet solely because of this. I eat to eat and nothing more, if things were different I'd eat differently and it would not change much in myself nor my polarity, whereas in my view you do need this reality you reject to fight against until you finally come to accept it, and you will endlessly keep doing so until you do come to where it inevitably always lead, which is awareness that it was all love, that it never truly needed to be worked against, that your fight was against yourself and that others in what you loved and have not loved, were agents of your fate so that you may explore yourself.
Like you said, all is One and the only thing you can fight against is yourself.
Since you admittedly have so little concern for this issue, and disregard your own role in contributing to the demand for more animals to be killed, then why do you participate in these discussions? (Just curious)
...
I said I am not karmically involved, which means I have no strong emotional response to this (whether in a STO or STS way).
I eat meat in acklowledgment of how it was made and unlike you I do not see it as wrong. It is the experience of the animal and not mine and unlike you I have no intent to deny it or to try to keep them from happening. I have a very very very strong belief that everything happens for a reason, even if I were to eventually become vegan there is very close to no chance that I'd regret my past actions.
As to why I partake in these threads, why not? is it not a good catalyst? I'm a gemini that believes we can only be mirror unto one another, I'd worry if I did not partake in these threads.
