In regards to eating meat

[drifting pages]

I agree that we should look within for guidance.

I want to point that i have been to a different forum where the "spiritual" group used the mirror analogy to manipulate/dominate an individual if he/she disagreed with them on some level.

They would point that the community mirrors an issue the person had to fix, the group is flawless to find issues and solve them....

If you could see what they did to people...
I read the threads and after a while i realized what was going on....

Human beings are social and we so want to belong...

TO use that to impose yourself on another (a la hive mind) is horrible and feels like mind rape.

This is NOT happening here.

But groups can use the mirror analogy to manipulate others from the outside.

Oh look we all see things as A and you are the only one that sees it as b, obviously we can see something that you can't and if we are being like this to you is for your own good we are reflecting something for you and showing how awful and egoistic you are.
Often wearing sugary coating on top. This was some of the lines i saw there.
