"When I think about the debate surrounding the ethics of eating meat, I often wonder why it is so difficult for meat eaters to admit that killing animals (to eat their flesh) is unethical? Truly, I cannot think of one sound ethical argument in favor of slaughtering animals for their meat."
This is what I don't understand here at B4 and never have, no matter how many counterpoints are raised. Why are so many members here in favor of this? I am not pointing the finger at anyone, but I am completely flummoxed over this. For consciously aware people who are compassionate, as the people here at B4 are, how is it possible to deny that killing animals for food is unethical? How is it possible to look into an animal's eyes and think this is okay?
People do not necessarily feel their own personal goal or the meaning of this Universe to be totally positively polarized. There is the One dreaming the illusion of experiences through many-ness, there is nothing that is not called for and there is surely no such thing as death in this game. Death is the loss of a connexion to a window which then has to remanifest itself elsewhere to carry on in it's own unique destiny. People are in space/time where the needed expeeriences for their time/space self is created. You are not a positive being nor a negative, you are the One with only a filter of subjectivity upon it's awareness. These different filters create the experience of many-ness but in these experiences there is not a single entity which you would not be through their paths. Not understanding an other-self is not understanding yourself as you are always both parties. Through the path of each member of B4 who carries on eating meat you are yourself doing it.
Some will feel their need to be here on this Earth to understand the meaning of STS in Creation, why is there? why is it useful? why is it good in the eyes of the One Intelligent Infinity which is my Most-Highest Self? STO is not better than STS, they both are in my view a given role that has to be played. Accomodance is useful in given times just as resistance also is useful at other times. Take one away and spiritual growth of this Octave would lose it's meaning altogether.
The One Intelligent Infinity is exploring it's desired experiences and there is no stopping it, there are only different roles played by the One Infinity to partake in it wether you are STS or STO. Whatever you do you are always experiencing and providing the needed experience for both parties. There are no mistakes, only growth toward awareness as the One Intelligent Infinity of Itself.
So why do I eat meat? Because I do not feel called to not be doing so. Why are other versions of me not eating meat? Because they feel called to do so.
