Then the real question has to do with killing animals for meat, Not eating roadkill.

Here's the quote:
Quote:19.22 Questioner: I just have two little questions here at the end. The instrument wanted me to ask if there was any other substances, foods, etc., that she should not eat or drink, or anything she should not do because she does not wish to have poor contact for any reason.
Ra: I am Ra. There is no activity which this instrument engages in which affects its abilities negatively. There is one activity which affects its abilities positively. This is the sexual activity, as you would call it. There are substances ingested which do not aid the individual in the service it has chosen, this being that which you would call the marijuana. This is due to the distortion towards chemical lapses within the mind complex causing lack of synaptic continuity. This is a chemical reaction of short duration. This instrument, however, has not used this particular substance at any time while performing this service. We believe we have covered the use of such chemical agents as LSD, this being positive to a certain extent due to the energizing or speeding up of the vital forces. However, it is not recommended for this instrument due to the toll it takes upon the vital energies once the substance wears off, this being true of any speeding-up chemical.
If you read it carefully, you will see that nowhere did Ra say anything about Carla's 'purity of service to others.' That's Not what the question was about. Don specifically asked if there was anything that would affect the CONTACT. Ra always answered questions directly and rarely offered extraneous information. Ra answered Don's question. Don never asked if anything in Carla's diet affected her polarity of her 'purity of service to others.'

This has been discussed ad nauseum. Ra worked with Carla where she was at. Even then, Ra put limits and said 'occasional' ingestion of meat. I don't think Ra meant bacon for breakfast, lunch at McDonald's, and chicken for dinner every day.
:idea: It just occurred to me that, if anything, Ra was trying to subtlely suggest to Carla that she reduce her meat intake. Back in the early 80s, it was common for most Americans to eat meat 2-3 times a day, so Carla likely did too. Rather than using this quote to try to prove that Ra somehow approved of Carla eating meat, why not try looking at it another way: Maybe Ra was actually trying to suggest to Carla that the limit her meat to only occasional? That would have been a major shift for someone who was accustomed to eating it every day, 2-3 times per day.
Carla had myriad health challenges. She already ate meat. I think Ra accepted her where she was at, and answered the question using what Carla was already doing - eating meat. Given her existing diet, occasional meat was enough to keep up her vital energy. There's No question that meat is very dense. Had Carla been drinking wheatgrass shots and green smoothies 3 times a day, and other nutrient-dense, intensely nutritious plant foods, that would have been more than sufficient to keep up her vital energy. Plant foods have much more vital energy than dead animal flesh! But Carla didn't have that sort of diet and Ra was very careful to only answer direct questions, never volunteering additional information nor making any suggestions that would have impeded their own individual process of unfolding. Ra didn't tell Carla what to do with her medical condition, either, did they? Surely there is much that Ra could have said, but they didn't. Why? Because they accepted Carla where she was at.

Do you think that Don, Jim or Carla EVER lost their temper? Did they ever think a negative thought? Did they ever act in a way that was less than exemplary?
They were, surely, all 3 very beautiful souls, focused enough in their dedication to service to allow the Ra contact to come through. But they all still had their own issues and human failings, just like the rest of us. Did Ra point out to them every time they had an impure thought or fell short of their ideals? No, Ra never did that.
Ra's objective was to disseminate higher concepts - the Law of One. Ra never took on the task of analyzing those 3 individuals in terms of their daily actions and lifestyle choices. Wanderers or not, they were all living in 3D bodies, veiled, and Ra knew that.

This is precisely why I quoted Ra, above, so that we can all see what Ra actually said. Ra never said anything about Carla's 'purity of service to others.' At least not in that exchange, in regards to her diet or lifestyle.

Not sure how you got that. Only 3D is veiled, yet polarity exists until mid 6D. Polarity exists without the veil.
