OK... so the only person who is really wrong in this thread is me for getting sucked back into it.
Bring4th_Monica- Thanks for the discussion. I found some of your points very thought-provoking and others "shocking and amazing"
I think we agree a lot more in practice than we do in principle. This is actually a good thing.
A couple quick responses:
Animals, yes. Cows, no. We are back in sardine territory again. My problem is that the word "animals" connotates too wide a swath for my tastes. (Get it? Tastes?
)
If you can prove to me why I shouldn't eat a sardine, I will convert to vegetarianism and make my own YouTube video series on it. How is that for a challenge?
Secondly, this is where you confuse me:
So killing is violence... except when it is not.
Forgiveness, compassion, and mercy are all expressions of Love. I offer that you go back and look at that diagram you scrolled past. Take a look at which qualities you excel at and which you struggle with. I personally found this to be a very illuminating exercise.
Pickle- I'm never sure how to respond to your posts in this thread. I can't discern to what degree we agree. At any rate, thanks especially for that list of quotes from Ra that 100% supports what Q'uo said about 3D earth not becoming 4D earth. I hope you know that my "Microbe Postulate" was not intended to be taken as valid. It was intended to demonstrate how living in the 3D physical world under a spiritual mandate of "harmlessness" tends to lead one to absurd and unnecessary conclusions.
We can "all get along" just fine without moral absolutism. With the added benefit that nobody need become a hypocrite in the process.
Diana- I am surprised that you don't see the irony in accusing others of "blindly following" anything after some of your posts here in this thread seeing as you have offered no logical arguments other than "Spirit told me so". I am happy that you have found "your truth" that meat-eating is "wrong". Good luck converting the rest of the world to your belief system with that attitude.
As a departing offer... I would encourage anybody who is so easily willing to simply toss out the knowledge and wisdom offered through the L/L Research Transcripts so that they can be "right" about how others are "wrong" to reconsider their motives. If you think the material is that unreliable... why are you here in this forum discussing it?
Seriously. Consider it.

Bring4th_Monica Wrote:No, in that case, it is an act of mercy.
