Did Entities Eat Meat Before The Veil ?

[anagogy]

It's interesting to speculate, but since everything is evolving toward something bigger, greater, more aware, I'm not sure it matters.

Chimps are our closest relatives, though separated by millennia of evolution along different lines. Chimps have large brains for a mammal and as such, like humans, will be opportunists (based on survival instinct).

Hopefully this whole soup is evolving toward something better than predator/prey/suffering.

Better than...

Worse than...

I think these are highly subjective.  Is a caterpillar wrong because it is not a butterfly?  Is an ape wrong because it not a man?  Is a human wrong because it is not an angel?  Every stage of evolution is a unique manifestation of a certain level of consciousness.  All experiences are valuable.

The experiences were set up deliberately, by the creator for some reason or another.  One beings hell is another's beings heaven.  I just think it might be a mistake to find imperfection in any state of being, no matter how much it disagrees with one, personally.  In fact, I find disapproval with such tends to hold one in that pattern indefinitely until one sees the value and purpose in it.

In the end, all things dissolve back into the One.  Just as all things arise out of the One, like the illusion of separation.  The evolution does not exist because of what the evolution will net us, the creator is already perfect, but rather, for the experience of evolution itself.

Its like going on vacation and reasoning that since the end destination is home again, one might as well not go.  It kind of misses the point.  That's why I feel that this speculation matters greatly, lest people presume there is anything wrong or broken with any particular level of existence.  That which is not needed anymore naturally falls away, and true evolution occurs as beings desires evolve, not because the desires or behaviors were inherently wrong.
