A possible implication is: If one's metabolism (during transition) seems to require animal products, why not satisfy that (temporarily) with eggs and dairy, rather than meat?
Another possible implication Ra was making: it is not wrong to partake of animal products (meat, eggs, dairy, honey etc).

Well, I guess you would have to clarify what you mean by "perfect". In some macrocosmic sense, we are all perfect.
But in terms of our goals, like for example, to be as purely STO as possible, Ra actually *did* bring up some of the personal distortions of these guys, that were getting in the way of more pure "STO'ness".
So that's not really an accurate statement.
In regards Jim:
Quote:Ra: The entity has a mental/emotional tendency, which has been lessening in distortion for some of your space/time, towards negative wisdom.
In regard Carla:
Quote:Ra: There is the need for the instrument to choose the manner of its beingness. It has the distortion, as we have noted, towards the martyrdom. This can be evaluated and choices made only by the entity.
These are just random examples. I don't really consider them faults, but in the context of the discussion, they were distortions they held at the time, which were challenges to further and more effective positivity.
