Sorry for saying that you did, you started the first I ever went to so it was based on that. So basically I didn't read the threads before that so I don't base anything I've said on those threads. But I assumed the threads following that one were kind of answers to that thread. It wasn't meant to hurt your feelings, I just thought something had not been reconciled between people for reaching that much pages. In fact I didn't come on the forum for months and saw this was still going on and tried picking up where I left but maybe things got out of context.
Regardless of that I would have enjoyed learning things from you. I do am trying to improve my food intake and I am the proof that one cannot just say becoming vegan is easy. It may be for some but this isn't something to be generalized. That doesn't mean I shouldn't do it. Though some of the things I've said about oneness I'm sure I would have told you the same if I was already a vegan. I would have hoped this could be discussed seriously and not took for granted to be just another meat eater's opinion and felt this resentment may have reached others. One thing I came to realize is that there seem to be really two different kind of concepts about oneness on the forum. If you can no longer answer I will start a new thread about it.
Would you agree that the version you defend or the concept which you build your perception of oneness unto would be defined by a united separateness or unified duality. While another point of view on the forum seems to suggest oneness is more like one single thing experiencing an infinite multiplicity but still remaining one single thing. I tend to see it more like the second one but seeing how this is maybe just taken for granted without explaining it first before members exchange ideas about oneness, I understand that creates lots of distortions. I am willing to hear anybody on their opinion about this concept.
A unified duality vs a single but infinite multiplicity? What do you think?
