Courting the maiden

[Jade]

Okay, but we're not talking about courting a plundered entity, we're talking about engaging in the plundering. Are you talking about going to McDonald's and spending my money there to infuse it with love? Because I believe I can infuse love from a distance and spend my money elsewhere. Are you saying that an entity who works at McDonald's who may have been plundered may need comfort? Yes, but that doesn't mean continuing to plunder them by going to McDonald's. If you are not talking about the act of actually engaging in commerce at McDonald's, we are speaking of two different analogies and I missed your point entirely.

Once again you miss the entire point of my example.

It is not about McDonald's, it is about a single other-self being that calls upon you and which reaches you in it's call because you resonate with it. It tries to draw you to itself, and where it is in a freaking McDonald's. A single piece of meat that came from an animal to which you could provide a much greater service toward than what little money you give to McDonald's in the process would do. It is not even about eating yourself, just that by being open to any manner of service would allow you to serve in new ways by trusting your unconscious and being guided with it. You said you would go out in the rain if asked to, but there seems to be many things you would feel unwilling to do even if you felt that it is the "right" or "good" choice based upon your unconscious awareness and feelings. Of course, if you'd be unable in any way to feel love while doing so, then you will never be called to serve in this way.

Transformation of the mind is about letting go of things, you said so yourself.

Okay... so I'm not using the Transformation of the Mind because I refuse to go eat a burger at McDonald's? Is that your logical conclusion with this analogy?

This experience (3rd density) is not about blindly trusting our subconscious. It's about learning how to use the resources of our subconscious so that our intuition doesn't tell us the wrong thing, like somehow warp, justify, and convolute eating a burger at McDonald's as an action of compassionate service-to-others. My logic, intuition, and experience informs me that I have much better ways to deal with the call of service I feel towards that entity - i.e. to stop eating it and not to continue participating in a system that tortures it. Again, it's not about blindly following, but slowly getting to know and understand what your High priestess (and others) want/feel. If my High Priestess is telling me to do something that I feel infringes upon the free will of another, I have a choice to not do that. The archetypes are about mind/body integration, not just dominance of the mind over matter.

I was not attempting to make this about meat by any means, and this is just one way I use the transformation of the mind, by letting go of what I perceive as prostituted resources. Some people stop using palm oil because it destroys the rainforest. Many people choose to eat relatively humanely raised meat instead of mass produced antibiotic filled junk. That's why I specifically used the example of McDonald's, because you would be very hard pressed to find anything they do in the production of food as being on the spectrum of ethical.  But shoot, it's hardly even real meat, so if you felt called to serve a McDonald's burger patty, you're likely being called to the soybean filler. (which is just as poorly treated!)
