[split] "Some people eat animals, some don't."

[Monica]

You transform something which is very very indirect into something which is very direct. Black and white logic.

I attempt to distill the concepts into their essence, leaving out the magnificent hoops that are often constructed to attempt to justify that which cannot be justified.

Truth is Monica, if you'd go into a restaurant and order a steak and eat it. Your action would have close to no chance whatsoever of even creating further suffering to any animal. So no it is not impossible to eat meat without harming because the harm is already done, in this scenario you'd take already existing stagnant energy upon yourself.

That particular animal is already dead, but one's actions do indeed affect the pool of supply and demand, and collectively, our choices all contribute to the end result.

That's not even getting into the holographic and energetic aspects of transcending linear time!

(I still do agree at your group logic, but don't see myself as part of one)

If you inhabit a human body, and eat, then you are part of the group, like it or not.

I think my habits are more centered in hurting myself than others.

It's both. (A clue!)

Regarding what I eat, I've held the same beliefs as Tanner that all food can be consecreted and seen as sacremental. I've had these beliefs along with inner alchemy since the very beginning of my spiritual path.

That is from the perspective of Self.
