Confederation and meat consumption

[Patrick]

Qu'o:

...Please use your powers of discrimination and discernment as you listen to our thoughts...

@Infinite: There is no need to be disappointed with the information.  Just ignore the parts you do not like and all will be well.

Personally, I like much of what Qu'o says on any subjects, including this subject.

Qu'o:

...there is always the metaphysically correct choice of relating to the animal in that timeless condition which is called “metaphysical time” wherein all things occur simultaneously, so that you are able to contact any animal, before you eat it, no matter how abused or how slaughtered. And as you contact this animal, you express your love of this animal and your appreciation for all that the animal has gone through in order to give you its energy, its consciousness, such as it is, and its love, which is very real. So, in praise, prayer and thanksgiving you heal the division between you and the meat and the animal from which that meat came.


And as you do this to your meat, dancing with the meat, becoming one with the meat, you are in effect lifting that energy to the infinite Creator, blessing it and healing all that has gone before, for the animal and for you...

Since I became a vegetarian, I have always used this method of thanksgiving when I am given meat by another self.  I no longer buy meat for myself, but neither do I reject it when given to me.


Qu'o:

...You asked specifically about the responsibility that you have for what you eat. For those who have not yet conceived of the possibility of choices in this area, their responsibility is minimal. One cannot make choices if one is ignorant of the choices...

There is some karma incurred, responsibility is not nil, but it is slight.

IMHO: In any case, forgiveness heals all and removes all karma.  Forgiveness can always be effected at any time, it works in a timeless fashion.  It is THE answer to ANY perceived wrongness.
