If I eat to keep myself healthy, I am sustaining myself so that I can continue to serve others.
I think all the questions about polarity have been answered elsewhere, so I'll refrain from addressing those questions.
People on an STO path decline opportunities to feel compassion all the time. It's a matter of where we choose to focus our compassionate energy.
Not everyone chooses to focus their energy on their diets.
Disassociation again. You've spoken only of your diet and what it does for you, while ignoring the effect your choice has on other beings...ignoring the torture and slaughter, that must take place in order for you to do that.
Not to mention, that for most people, there are other ways to nourish one's body, without torturing and killing animals.
?? You took what I wrote in 2 sentences to decide that I am not only dissociating, but ignoring torture and slaughter?
Are you saying that I nourish my body by torturing and killing animals?
