Diet Guidance from Channelings?

[Jade]

2-8% of a chimps diet is meat (depending on who you ask -- there is some dissenting opinion among experts). That is substantial in my opinion, even if most of their diet is not meat. But if your argument is: we shouldn't ever eat meat because we evolved from chimps and chimps don't eat that much meat you are essentially making the argument that the genetic apple doesn't fall far from the tree, so to speak. The thing is though, sometimes it does! So it really doesn't matter whether chimps eat meat or not because it doesn't have any bearing on what another group of bodies eats or does not eat, or craves or does not crave. All animals share a certain genetic heritage, and all animals have slightly different natures. There are always outliers in any group of normative characteristics.

All of the information posted was Ra and other entities encouraging people to eat less meat. If people ate 2-8% of their diets in meat, I'm sure that would be more balanced, and more what Ra was advocating as a healthy diet. Add in other animals products, and humans are way, way above that threshhold. There are people don't eat vegetables at all! All of us have room for improvement in all of our choices.

For statistics, humans share 96% of their DNA with chimps. That includes their herbivorous digestive systems.

I also don't think it is necessarily fair to Carla to say she didn't take much care with her diet. That fact that they posed these questions to Ra specifically in regards her diet, is pretty good evidence she DID take care with her diet. It seems like you are drawing that conclusion solely based on the fact that she partook of meat? Or maybe you have information about Carla I'm not privy too? I always got the impression she took her health pretty seriously.

Have you read Tilting at Windmills? Carla's favorite mantra is, from the Bible: "That which goes into a man is not that which defiles him, but what cometh out of him", or however it goes. You can find this phrase in many, many Q'uo channelings as an answer to diet. This is how Carla felt. She said during the Ra contact, she attempted dietary advice/changes, but she felt like none of it worked for her. After the Ra contact, I'm pretty sure she implies that she didn't attempt any strict regiment of diet. One of her favorite places to go out to eat was the Cheesecake Factory, and she would often have a cocktail while they were there (per Jim's blog). As Diana mentioned she also liked fast food.

All that was posted were quotes that said "eat less meat" NOT "give up meat entirely". How is "eat less meat" bad advice for anyone? Seriously, if people stayed in the 2-8% range, that seems perfectly reasonable to me. According to Forks Over Knives, science shows that it's at the 5% threshhold that we start to see negative effects from animal products (increased cancer growth, increased cholesterol levels, increased inflammation)

Plus, there was much at stake if the contact could not continue due to health reasons on Carla's side.

Look,

Carla was great and all, and I respect the hell out of her, but I really think this is just wishful thinking. That is to say, it doesn't feel even remotely like an actual real world possibility to me. If it did, I would admit it, I assure you. I would be the first to sacrifice my sacred cows of dogma. To be honest, this sort of thinking just comes across to me as a more subdued version of religious hero worship. Give it a couple hundred years, and Carla will be transformed into the equivalent of the Virgin Mary for the "Church of Ra". Virtually all religious icons eventually get elevated in the minds of their followers to near super human status. It happened to Jesus with Christianity, it happened to Muhammad with Islam, it happened to Joseph Smith with Mormonism, it happened to L Ron Hubbard with the Church of Scientology, it happened to Siddhartha Gautama with Buddhism. Everybody wants the people who play a role in bringing forth what they perceive as great and awe inspiring philosophies to not be as human as the rest of us.

My advice is: don't drink the kool aid. They're just like the rest of us, for the most part. More alike us than different, I assure you.

I'm not sure what, precisely, you were attempting to point out here with your bolded text and what not. Maybe you can be more clear what you saw in it. I think Carla's body was just like your average 3rd density vehicle with various distortions such as allergies and what not. It is true there is a degree of variation among people, but not to the extent you're implying. At least, that is my gut sense about the issue.

I don't think anyone is making Carla into a sacred cow or anything like that. The facts are: Carla was Ra's preferred instrument. Ra has not and likely won't find another like her. She was anomalous in many ways, that Ra points out: Her electrochemical make up, her complex addiction to sugars, her allergies (to meat!) - these are things that Ra had to share with Carla and the group, BECAUSE she was so dedicated to the Ra contact. She would have died, happily. What if her body quit back around session 43? Wouldn't that be a huge, objective loss? Ra had to balance her martyrdom, somehow, which is why they gave her some specific advice (specific enough as to what time of day she should eat a cookie or drink juice), and also advice that they said was applicable to the rest of us, generally. Part of that advice was to eat less meat, and more vegetables and grains. Not exactly groundbreaking health information really.

Carla is different than the other people you mentioned, for the sole fact that Carla has hundreds of thousands of her own words out there, telling her own story in blogs and books. Carla obviously was a human. I actually think it's funny, I see more "Don worship" than "Carla worship", really, but both were pretty flawed humans, once you get to know them. It was the power of the three of them together, and their love and dedication to serving, that made the contact possible, not their individual purity. A true lesson in service to others. 

I can tell you matter of factly, though I'm sure most don't want to believe or even hear this, that when you align yourself with intelligent infinity, you would be shocked at the things summoned into your diet for the optimal health of your body.

You say this as if people aren't speaking from their own experience of "aligning with intelligent infinity" and "summoning a diet for the optimal health of [their] body". I can tell you from my own experience, fast food would never be involved in caring for my body, but of course those are my biases. Maybe when my indigo is as crystallized as yours I'll be able to eat Big Macs again.
