In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

Thank you Diana,

Please, allow me to expand on my views of judgment.

You're welcome. I like to hear your viewpoints.

Judgment certainly has its place. But judgment is only useful for the self. You judge what is good and bad for you. The self decides what is "right" and what is "wrong" for the self.

Negativity is created when we try to apply our judgment to another self.

You mean when we judge what is appropriate for another human? I agree. We can give advice when solicited, spread awareness, but being attached to the outcome is where the line is crossed, for both the self and the other.

"If someone came into your home with intent to harm you and your family, would you just let them, just be?"

I am not nearly balanced enough to witness this without reacting. If I were, I would probably not be in 3d.

I hear you. I am not evolved enough for that either.

However, aren't we in 3D to make choices? If we were here to just be and witness, making choices doesn't make sense. Maybe you could help me see this better?

"What would be the value in that, other than to indulge the perpetrator?"

The value is unconditional love and acceptance of that which is.

And yet, there is still choice, rather than just witness. You may be loving and accepting the perpetrator's choices, but are you loving and accepting your loved one's choices (your hypothetical family being attacked)? Your wife (hypothetical wife) may have defended you in a past life and now it is karmically balancing for you to reciprocate. You son (hypothetical son) may have a lesson in abandonment and needs you to step in. We don't know what others' paths are.

"You participate out of compassion for your family, yet you dislike it. The dislike is judgment."

I do my best not to apply this judgment to other selves. Like I said, people seem to be perfectly fine with the concept of money and so I accept this.

I may share the judgment (opinion) I made on money with my other selves, but I will not tell them that it's "wrong" to use money. I cannot and do not want to decide what is wrong for them.

I understand. I agree with this.

In this thread, no one is telling others what they are doing is "wrong." It seems that way to some, but what is happening here is we are discussing the subject of eating meat and its implications. In order to discuss it, we say what we think about it. How can we talk about it without expressing our opinions?

I feel we are spreading awareness, from every perspective here. I have said more than once that my awareness has been expanded. I hope we can continue to explore what is obviously a very emotional and volatile subject (suggesting that it needs exploring and shone light upon).
