Why I am not a vegan

[Minyatur]

At this point, can we forego wasting Internet space on this ridiculous idea that if you eat meat, the animal is already dead so you aren't making any impact on the industry? No offense ETM, but this argument is ludicrous. We are intelligent people here, and this is so basic it's simply not worth spending anymore energy on in my opinion.

If you consume factory-farmed meats, dairy, and eggs you are supporting the industry. This is a no-brainer. I would ask anyone here who is still an omnivore to be honest enough to admit this. No judgments intended. This is not about judgment. I am not pointing the finger at what is "not right." I am simply asking that we converse with humility and honesty. Self-honesty being the primary desire. 

This idea that the OIC desires to experience itself is a good theory in my opinion. It makes sense to me. But I am here, veiled, with extremely limited understanding of reality. This is a theory only. So let's not use this theory as an irrefutable fact to justify participating in cruelty. If someone wants to participate in cruelty, it is their choice, no matter what the recipient of that cruelly wants on whatever level of reality.

I do accept the causes and effects of my acts.

Perhaps there are beings in the universe who just go around doing nothing but experiencing whatever there is to experience on whatever planet or existence, in service to the OIC. This sounds very much like Christians to me. They do what someone else wants (God). They don't think for themselves or discover their own purpose, they only serve the supposed purpose of some(thing)else. Which, someone here may make into a purpose. But what kind of purpose is that? It's one-sided, and STS if you think about it. It's using others for what you want.

Well of course it seems STS, but it is good to note that we each are the exploration of ourselves, which is in a way why polarity ultimately becomes harmonized in awareness. You having no great desire to polarize negatively and that you would find no pleasure in what STS entities find pleasure in, is the result of your past. Through many other paths of experiences you also became all of these one-sided entities.

It's interesting to me that the Ra Material was so intellectual and sophisticated in content. I see in our conversations here the actual motion of paradoxes being revealed and us trying to resolve them. Certainly because the material is so complex, we find ourselves in complex conversations.

I don't mean to disparage anyone's opinions, especially you ETM in this post, as I enjoy your perspectives and everyone's here. I like diversity. But I feel sometimes we get bogged down with minutiae or addictions to opinions. In the meantime, countless animals are suffering as we type. 

I cannot change the way I feel, or perhaps my participation in these threads is a way to open myself to allow a change to take place.

It is not like I disagree with your ways either, I do find that all of you people are beautiful beings in your compassion.
