Did they eat meat & why do you think so? Did they not eat meat & why do you think that?
Thanks you to any who reply.
Intriguing question. Ra was never explicitly asked that, so all we can do is speculate.
(By the way, I am just now reading this thread and answering before reading all the other posts. )
We do know that the ape body was used as the template for the human body. I wasn't able to locate the exact quote, but I remember something about Ra using the ape body and then just tweaking it a bit before depositing all those souls from other planets who had failed to graduate and needed to repeat 3D. So Ra used the ape body as the basic hardware, but upgraded it a bit to accommodate more advanced software, to put it simply.
That should tell us a great deal. Apes normally don't eat meat. They are primarily vegan - mostly greens and fruit - except for a few bugs that happen to be caught in the leaves and thus get eaten accidentally.
However, they have been known to catch small rodents and eat them, but only under duress. In other words, they are essentially vegan, except when they are in a desperate situation, and then resort to eating meat. Their normal diet is vegan except for some bugs.
The human body is physiologically most similar to the apes, for obvious reasons. So it makes sense to conclude that the designers of this 3D 'school for juvenile delinquents' may have assumed that the humans would continue to eat the same diet that their physical ancestors - the apes - did.
I remember a quote where Ra seemed to indicate that they hadn't planned for all the violence. This 1-room schoolhouse of students from many various planets was a grand experiment! So maybe they didn't plan for the humans to behave like wolves and hunt prey and eat bloody carcasses either.
But the humans discovered fire, and because of the opposing thumb, built tools as well as weapons. I think I remember Ra saying that this basically set the stage for violence, including wide-scale wars. Yet we know that Mars and Maldek were also violent, in fact extremely violent to the point that they destroyed themselves and even their planet! Did Ra ever talk about what kind of physical vehicle they had on Mars and Maldek? Was it bipedal with opposing thumbs also?
So the real question isn't whether our ancestors here on Earth ate meat, but whether our 'soul' ancestors on Mars and Maldek ate meat!
Ra, on Venus, had a very peaceful society. This leads me to believe there is No way they could have killed animals for food. That just doesn't jive with the idea of a peaceful society.
My conclusion is that the question of early humans on Earth eating meat or not really does deeper, back to before they were even on Earth.
And, you say 'before the veil' - well were there even humans here before the veil? Or did the veil start at the same time the humans were put here? Was there even a time when 3D entities were here before getting veiled? I know they were, on other planets, but were there unveiled humans here? (I don't have time right now to search for this in the Material, so I'm just going by memory and I don't remember.)
Folklore and myths speak of a 'Garden of Eden' ie. perfect existence, before the 'fall' which is the veil. The same myth can be found in many cultures, Not just the bible, so there must be something to that. The assumption seems to be that this planet had this beautiful, perfect, idyllic reality, but I wonder if maybe they were actually remembering a reality before they were brought to Earth and veiled?
