In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

You're exactly right, Monica. We are not our actions or thoughts or feelings. We are infinite Love. We can change at any moment. We are free. We need to remember our true identity. We can do much better than 51% - most of us are too lazy or self-indulgent or mesmerized by our past or present....
I just don't know how to begin explaining my feelings about killing animals anymore...it seems that when real compassion has taken hold of one, then he could no longer justify the unnecessary taking of life. And then the whole phony 'but I need to eat meat to satisfy my nutritional requirements' argument...it's just me, I guess, after 40 years of approaching the One, and watching the world continue it's insane urge to devour corpses, I feel like a mutant sometimes....

Oh indolering, thank you for sharing!! I agree 100%!

We are mutants! But in a good way. We're transitioning to the density in which living foods are consumed.

For me personally, it makes no sense to go from eating hamburgers, to drinking living nectar. It makes more sense to me that there is a transitional period, and that is what we're experiencing. And just look at how vegetarianism, and even raw vegan, have exploded in popularity!

I just did a search in a large city for veg restaurants and found about 15, all on the same (trendy) side of town! And about half of them were raw vegan! That is mind-blowing! 30 years ago, there was only 1 single veg restaurant, and we had to drive 1.5 hours to get to it!

Who are all these people, and why are they feeling such a pull towards a living diet? It must be part of the transition, methinks.

Thanks again for sharing! I hope you stick around!

That's the dissociation. The meat-eaters tend to gloss over the killing part,

This is precisely what the vegetarians are doing as well. In each person's mind, they are justified.

Monkey, by disassociating, I mean using different words to describe what one is doing, in order to gloss over the reality of what is really happening.

Like saying "eating meat" instead of "contributing to the torture and slaughter of beings who feel pain." Or like saying "bought some beef" instead of "bought some chunk of cow carcass." It's choosing to focus on a superficial aspect, while neglecting the reality of what it really is.

The vegetarians aren't doing that at all. We don't use different terms to describe eating plants. I go into my garden and pull carrots from the ground, and tear off lettuce leaves from the plant, and then I chew it up. I have no problem saying that.

When do you ever ever hear someone say "When I bought that burger at McDonald's, I destroyed half an acre of rainforest, and contributed to several years of torture of a cow, and to its last few moments of life in which it was terrified and in agonizing pain. I knowingly did this and I'm ok with it."
