I wanted to venture a look into the effects of food stuffs on polarization. Specifically considering the individual who is aware of the Law of One. Note: I am only considering the polarizing effects of an individuals diet. Take health concerns elsewhere.
For instance, we all know of the horrible conditions of factory farming of animals. Also, of the detrimental effects consuming this food has on our body. Now, consider the fact that the people in the factory farm enviornment are the ones performing the STS actions, while the meat is simply a byproduct. The meat itself harbors no polarizing effects once the act is done, after all, the second density individualized consciousness inhabiting the meat has left it. In fact, you could even polarize yourself STO if you provided this meat to an Ethiopean in loving kindness who would otherwise starve to death, leaving his/her incarnation.
Therefore, I posit that eating factory farmed meat harbors no polarizing effects on the eater, and in fact can provide an opportunity for growth if you can find it within yourself to have compassion for those other-selves which are so confused they impress horrible living conditions on the cows/chickens/etc.
Now, one could argue that if you are aware of the farming conditions and yet you eat the products of it, you are perpetuating the system and therefore "supporting" these conditions. Are we not doing this everyday though? Buying shirts we know are made in sweatshops, using cellphones made in horrible facilities like Foxconn, and simply the act of using any form of money perpetuates our current system, making the lives of those at the bottom of society ever worse, everyday, fueling the American war machine overseas. Is the act of spending money attached to a polarity? Does the creator recognize these things we call "companies" and "stock markets" and attach a polarity to them? Or is polarity simply an individual occurrence in each instance of harmony/disharmony. If it is, surely a selection at the grocery causes no disharmony. And, surely the ingestion of meat causes no disharmony, since I'm not the one who caused the initial disharmony to produce this "lifeless" meat devoid of any second density consciousness.
I bring this up because I believe the ingestion of food stuffs itself has little or no effects on polarization. This is NOT to say the act of PRODUCING food stuffs has no effect on polarization, only the INGESTION. With that in mind, the consumption of food stuffs is purely based on the preference of the individual, as there is no STO way or STS way to select food stuffs.
I wanted to bring this up to show the relative unimportance of what you eat in terms of our purpose of being incarnate at this time, and polarity. Why concern ourselves with what other-selves are ingesting? Why not instead concern ourselves with the confused entities actually causing these atrocities to second density beings? This is an important distinction, as after reading some of the older posts here I can see a large amount of disharmony people are causing to one another over such an unimportant distinction as what they chose to ingest. The much more important thing, we can all agree, is helping those individual's who are so confused they cause these horrible living conditions to be impressed upon second density entities.
After all, how many of us on these forums are factory farm workers/agents? My guess, Zero. And even if we were, we would be loved all the same. The choice of food is a preference, nothing else. Passing judgement causes nothing but disharmony in yourself.
