In regards to eating meat

[βαθμιαίος]

Basic on this planet anyway. Is it standard on other planets?

Interesting question. My guess is yes, on other planets created by our sub-Logos and our galactic Logos. It's fundamental enough to our illusion that I doubt it was something done only on earth. This quote from Ra about tarot card four seems relevant, since it deals with our archetypical mind: "All things in manifestation may be seen in one way or another to be offering themselves in order that transformations may take place upon the level appropriate to the action." I understand that to mean that grass, carrots, cows, zebras, and humans are all offering ourselves for possible transformation. As for distant logoi in other galaxies, who knows? It's a big universe out there!

Have you read The Starseed Transmission by Ken Carey? (I believe it was that one, but it might have been one of his other books.) In it, the source says that what we call survival of the fittest is actually flourishment of the most cooperative. I think that's an important insight. The predator/prey relationship is symbiotic; the zebra needs the lion just as much as the lion needs the zebra.

Similarly, humans and their domestic animals have a symbiotic relationship that has evolved over millennia. In fact, cows, chickens, and others no longer exist in the wild. I'm not sure if you'll find this compelling or not, but if humans stop raising and eating cattle, the number of cattle on the planet is likely to decline drastically.

Research done by Allen Savory and others in southern Africa and the American southwest has shown that grasslands and other environments attain their optimal health only in the presence of large herds of herbivores and their predators. Many ranchers and farmers (including myself in a very small way) are attempting to improve their land by managing their animals in such a way as to mimic the behavior of wild herds. I believe that restoring the great herds and their predators, such as the bison and the wolves, will go a long way towards healing the earth and will, in fact, be one of the early focuses of fourth density here.
