Meat Eating v Plant-Based (video, balanced spiritual take in my opinion)

[Diana]

What I think we need is to "go back" to the creation of food forests. When Europeans first came to the "new world" they were amazed to find long trails and areas which were lined with berries and other foods. These had been crafted over hundreds of years by the many indigenous peoples. The real question is, why have we put food in a box? Food can be grown in so many places, it should be lining the streets and collected for communities by communities. We have to stop putting nature "out there" and let it in to the cities so that it can nourish us.

This is a lovely idea.

My thinking is that going back is never the answer because we evolve as a species and as societies. However, referencing this way of being is something which can inform how we move forward.

Why we put food in a box will open up all sorts of conspiracies, so I will not go there; as factory-farming both animals and plants is not based on altruistic intentions.

In order to get to a place in 4D, which I can only imagine will eventually happen, where we cease treating other life forms as though they were all here just to serve us, and since humankind seems to evolve as a whole so very, very slowly, a future goal might be envisioned, and steps toward that goal be taken.

Here, we have a goal we might intend to work toward: 

43.20 ▶ Questioner: I’m guessing that it is not necessary to ingest food in fifth density. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. However, the vehicle needs food which may be prepared by thought.

43.21 ▶ Questioner: What type of food would this be?

Ra: I am Ra. You would call this type of food nectar, or ambrosia, or a light broth of golden white hue.

43.22 ▶ Questioner: What is the purpose of ingesting food in fifth density?

Ra: I am Ra. This is a somewhat central point. The purpose of space/time is the increase in catalytic action appropriate to the density. One of the preconditions for space/time existence is some form of body complex. Such a body complex must be fueled in some way.

 
And here, we have Ra speaking of consuming animal blood and fear:

43.5 ▶ Questioner: I’ll just try to pick up the last question left over from the last session. If you can answer it— I don’t know if it is of any importance, but it just occurred to me that the parts removed in cattle mutilations are the same every time, and I just wondered if this was related to the energy centers and why they were important if that was so?

Ra: I am Ra. This is basically correct if you may understand that there is a link between energy centers and various thought-forms. Thus the fears of the mass consciousness create the climate for the concentration upon the removal of bodily parts which symbolize areas of concern or fear in the mass consciousness.

43.6 ▶ Questioner: Are you saying, then, that these parts that are removed are related to the mass consciousness of the third-density human form on the planet and this fear is being used in some way by the second-density entities or, correction, the thought-form entities that do the mutilations?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct as latterly stated. The thought-form entities feed upon fear; thus they are able to do precise damage according to systems of symbology. The other second-density types of which you speak need the, what you call, blood.

So somewhere between 3D fear and eating animals from whom this fear definitely is generated and is consumed when eating them (and this fear will be generated even when the animals are given a good life then slaughtered, as they do not want to die and will be afraid; though this method is so far better than factory farming and constitutes a huge step forward), and, the light ambrosia Ra speaks of which is consumed in 5D, we may find a path.
