Why I am not a vegan

[Monica]

Another possible implication Ra was making: it is not wrong to partake of animal products (meat, eggs, dairy, honey etc).

Many vegans lump all animal products together. I don't. For many people, it's difficult to go vegan overnight; thus, temporarily relying on eggs and dairy is a transitional step.

I find the idea that Ra would 'approve' of indiscriminately contributing to cruelty absurd. That would be ignoring everything else Ra said about service to others, polarizing, and the consciousness of higher 2D entities.

Don, Carla and Jim are/were all wonderful people. But none of them was 100% perfect in every way. Ra didn't address any of their personal faults at all, ever. 

Well, I guess you would have to clarify what you mean by "perfect".  In some macrocosmic sense, we are all perfect.

I meant in the microcosmic sense, the here and now. We all have our imperfections, whether it's losing our temper, having addictions, or whatever. Sure, it's all 'perfect' in the grand scheme of things, but as long as there is distortion, there is still catalyst. We all still have lessons to learn, karma to clear, and issues to resolve.   

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.

...

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.

Ok, I concede that point: Ra did mention some of their distortions. But I still contend that this doesn't mean that Ra was in the business of pointing out all their flaws. Key being in the context of the discussion.
