In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

Tenet, if you know anything about science you will know that we KNOW very little. Even when talking about biology, we DO NOT understand metabolism. It is very, very complex.

What we know is that the (1) body requires at least 23 different vitamins and minerals for its metabolism, and (2) different foods containing these 23 vitamins and minerals are used by different bodies in different ways. That's about all we know "for sure". Beyond that is anybody's guess.

The hypothesis is that in order to truly know what one's body needs in terms of specific food choices, one must learn communicate with their body. I recognize that is a theory and not a proven fact.

However, I sincerely wonder what all the resistance I see here in this thread is to that. So I ask about it, rather than assuming I know what is going on in another person's mind. Then- I get resistance to the asking as well. I will leave it up to you to discern why that is.

I agree that listening to the body is efficacious, and I also respect your expertise and education. But, that is not the end of the story. What you are getting is not necessarily resistance, but other viewpoints.

Listening to the body is all well and good if one is clear, rational, not addicted (this is big: consider sugar, and comfort food, as we are nearly all stressed to a certain extent in this world), and not laden with imbalances from abusing the body. Perhaps a person who was really messed up physically could listen accurately if they were really intuitive and could discern a mind message from a true body message. (That would be a good book for you to write: how to discern what your body needs by listening correctly. )

There are more issues involving the eating of meat: spiritual aspects such as the animals being other-selves, and the ways in which the "food" affects all of our "bodies" (for instance, the fear in the meat from the slaughter). Someone mentioned that animals eat animals; that would be a 2D. We humans are learning compassion in 3D for graduating to 4D according to Ra. The spiritual implications are many.

I would like to mention (and I am repeating myself from an earlier post in the thread), that I know a man who was a WWF wrestler (or one of those famous wrestling entertainment associations) some years ago. He is now in his forties. He is still a body-builder whose strength makes the whole gym stop and gape. He has been a raw-food vegetarian for something like 20 years. He is one of the healthiest persons I've ever known. I will add that he has been meditating for 15 years as well.
