There is only one schema that is consistent with the doctrine of densities found in the Law of One.
1D - Atoms, molecules, minerals, rocks, mountains, planets, stars...
2D - Algae, bacteria, fungi, plants, insects, animals, chimps, bonobos, apes...
3D - Neanderthals, primitive humans, civilized humans...
Ra also referred to sub-densities, and sub-sub-densities, and supra-densities, etc. Essentially, that creation is fundamentally holographic in nature. And we can probably all see with the example above some concept of a general trend in which life progresses through the sub-densities.
However, I will assert that there is no discernible principle available from behind the veil to determine with 100% confidence which entities fall into which subdensities in each category.
The idea has been put forth that the principle might have something to do with the accumulation of some form of spiritual energy, or light-ness of being. While I like this idea, there still remains no way to apply it in the world, given the tools and faculties which are available to us in this moment.
Discussion about which entity falls into what category makes for some very genuinely interesting reading, it does not further a purpose of offering a practical approach to diet which is immediately available given the current state of civilization.
IF, the "cause to increase the harvest" is, indeed, that urgent,
[a supposition that is itself questionable and deeply rooted "end of the world" belief system demonstrably ABSENT from the Law of One]
THEN, instead of wasting our time arguing about philosophical drivel, why don't we instead use this opportunity to fashion a unified message about diet that will maximize service to others in the present moment, rather than to serve our own need to be absolutely right in what we believe? Law of Confusion indeed.
Now I hold a Bachelor's Degree in both Biology and Philosophy as well as a Naturopathic medical degree. I have also studied the Law of One for fifteen years. I have been in practice for nearly a decade, and have served in the improvement of hundreds of peoples lives, and through them to thousands more.
This is not to say that I am "better" than anybody else. So don't go there.
I contemplate how to better apply the Law of One to my medical practice on a near daily basis. When somebody asks me the question, "How should I eat?" I don't have the luxury to pontificate with them about subdensities and how to discern between them. Neither do I theorize about the ambrosia of the gods, and make false promises of a land with no disease. I need an answer that is demonstrably true, practical, and immediately applicable in somebody's every day life.
I can only imagine what would occur if I told everybody coming to me for help that the ONLY way to eat is a vegetarian diet. Do you know what would happen? Most people would remove the meat from their diet, while leaving in all the sugar, grains, and processed foods. This would clearly be a disservice to them. Do you know what also might happen? I would eventually have to defend myself against claims of quackery and fraud, or possibly face felony charges for practicing medicine without a license because the state I live in does not license naturopathic doctors. Or God forbid some idiot "goes vegan" in the wrong way on my watch.
So if I, by proxy, must adopt a philosophy that allows for the slaughter of animals and consumption of their flesh, so be it. If anybody would like to offer that my actions are having a net negative effect on the "harvestability" of myself, or my patients, then please stand up and show yourself.
That there are vegetarians out there curing disease in their bodies is absolutely wonderful, and a great example to hold out to others whose health is failing. That there are one or two yogis somewhere in India living off of sunlight alone is very, very intriguing.
These people are in incredible amounts of suffering and pain. Some of them are facing death in the foreseeable future. So here's an idea: why don't you go face these decisions an a day-to-day basis and see what you come up with, rather than squabbling over technicalities of an obscure text on the Internet?
I would like to promote vegetarianism. Wanna know why I don't? Because as soon as the word comes out of my mouth, I know that the vast majority of people are going to associate me with some sort of whacko nutjob living on a communist ranch somewhere in the hills. Whether said whacko exists does not matter.
If I do not quickly establish trust and credibility with my patients, they will be gone. Out the door. And then I will have no further opportunity to be of service to them.
So here is what I tell them: Choose foods that are more nutritious. That's it. I know that if they follow that one simple step, it will eventually lead them to a place where they will start to crave better choices all on their own. In my opinion, that is the BEST way to serve their health, because it does not require them to accept me as their SAVIOR or GURU (seriously what a "3D" notion :idea: ), but points to their own latent inner wisdom to know what is right to choose for themselves.
So again, if anybody wants to declare that I am doing a disservice to my patients, and preventing them from achieving the next step in human evolution, by "allowing" them to eat meat, please show yourself.
I want to know who the fools really are.
