Why I am not a vegan

[Nicholas]

I would love to get back to the issues at hand in the thread.

Me - Yes I found value in the initial offering by GS because since then I have purchased some B12 supplements from my local natural store.

I will never understand why in a place that flows from the Ra Material and the LOO, where "catalyst" is presumably understood, a thread should be closed because it got too heated. What's wrong with that?

Me - Because Ra were (humble) messengers of tLoO, that chose not to use divisively or emotionally charged rhetoric aimed at controlling the way Don, Carla and Jim thought or felt.

40.14 ↥ Questioner: In dietary matters, what would be the foods that one would include and what would be the foods that one would exclude in a general way for the most or the greatest care of one’s bodily complex?

Ra: I am Ra. Firstly, we underline and emphasize that this information is not to be understood literally but as a link or psychological nudge for the body and the mind and spirit. Thus it is the care and respect for the self that is the true thing of importance. In this light we may iterate the basic information given for this instrument’s diet. The vegetables, the fruits, the grains, and to the extent necessary for the individual metabolism, the animal products. These are those substances showing respect for the self. In addition, though this has not been mentioned, for this instrument is not in need of purification, those entities in need of purging the self of a poison thought-form or emotion complex do well to take care in following a program of careful fasting until the destructive thought-form has been purged analogously with the by-products of ridding the physical vehicle of excess material. Again you see the value not to the body complex but used as a link for the mind and spirit. Thus self reveals self to self.

I never did like that new-agey "all is well" and "anger is bad" and "let's just smile and be happy" BS.

Me neither, however since reading and re-reading tLoO I think I understand the new-agey crews (fear of their own shadow) attempt to mitigate their shortcomings with the happy happy persona.

The "mods" however are not as unenlightened as you assume (imo).

The essence of a 'comm''unity' lies in its ability to understand and tolerate different viewpoints because of the bigger picture. That being an opportunity for service to self entrepreneurs to exploit any division that might arise.

Therefore if the "Bring4th" mods intervene, is it not to preserve the essential idea that inspired this website into being? That being to foster a community for souls that feel lost and left out?

The meat eating topic is as divisive as it can get and I truly appreciate Monica's sharing of her vast amount of research into this topic. I believe I am correct in assuming we also share the same avatar picture, and if so I also can relate to Monica's empathy for all that Mother Earth gives birth to.

A mother's essence is to protect and nurture life and I appeal to all that wish to carry on in this thread to recognise the origins that Life protecting efforts spring from.
