6 Months Meat-Free: A Retrospective

[Jade]

Lovely post, as always plenum. I've read channelings from recently that talk about as our bodies are moving into 4-D "lightness", some people will choose to live a bit "lighter" without any thought - since meat isn't part of the 4-D diet. This is a good point in the year to look back and think about how far things have come in 2013.

In about 1 week I'll have come upon my 1 year mark of being vegan. This hasn't been 100% vegan mind you, I'll say it's averaged out to 2 cheats a month (no red meat, but the occasional dairy/fish) but the further out that I get from eating meat, the less it seems I'll go back, and the less I crave it or even think of it. It's been a fairly long detox but the tastebuds change rather rapidly, slowly and without consciousness I've cut out more and more salt and sugar.

I used to have terrible digestion problems that are nonexistent now. I never feel painfully full or overly heavy. I've only lost maybe 5 pounds total in this past year, but that's because I already lost most of my extra body fat when I quit drinking 5 years ago, and because I suffered from anxiety induced eating disorders at times. However, as you noted, and as is so that all is one, whether or not the anxiety caused the eating problems or veganism fixed them, it's all an integration and just confirmation of a more fully functioning mind/body/spirit complex.

Also, as you carefully noted, none of this is in a higher-than-thou point of view, just my attempt at honestly scribing my personal experiences with a dietary change. This change was made well before I was aware of the LOO by name, and almost ironically was mostly instigated as a STS function - I wanted to live longer - but very soon I started hallucinating and seeing human appendages all dressed up on fancy plates to be served in place of the animal parts. Maybe I just needed a more socially acceptable catalyst. (I no longer see human parts either; it was a short but intense phase.)
