It's true, we unfortunately can't exist in modern society without being connected to all sorts of horrible things. We can make an attempt at living ethically as best as possible, but I think a central aspect that is missing in the general population as a whole is not what is ultimately right or wrong, but an attitude of sacredness and gratefulness.
Yes, that is what the pre-veil humans had in spades, a strong connection to God/ OIC/ Spirit and they were very conscious of the sacredness of life. They were aware of the cycles, the circle of life that is designed into this planet. They didn't fear death as many do in veiled conditions. They understood the body, whether human animal or turkey animal, is a vessel for the creator and true identity is not our form, but our Soul.

I think the first step then is to start cultivating that awareness at meals or when things are purchased. Blessing food, meat or otherwise, and cherishing material goods should not only have a vibrational effect, but the awareness alone of things being sacred creates the condition where things are appreciated and less likely to be abused/consumed blindly.That is just what Aion has been saying. He described his process earlier in this thread and other threads of blessing and transmuting the lower vibratory energies that are encountered when we consume. So not only to bless appreciate animal products that nourish our bodies, but all that we consume that nourishes us. It is nearly impossible in our modern Western society to only consume what is free from energies of exploitation or enslavement...those are energies that formed the basis of our current civilization. Exploitation, enslavement, stealing the life force of others, human and animal. It is a naive and unsophisticated argument to place the blame of participating and supporting those lower energies on only "meat-eaters" or omnivores.
This is likely one reason why there is so much backlash in threads like this. When looking at the whole picture with an understanding that consciousness and energy are fundamental and the foundation of our existence, we can see that the STS System that we live in is fundamentally exploiting all Life.
We have the power to free our consciousness from that however by understanding that we are all things. By shifting our perception of identity. Therefore, I am male, I am female, I am white, I am black, I am vegan, I am pescetarian, I am omnivore. I am all of these and none of these. If I identify with Light and Love, rather than my form, it is less distorted to make choices in alignment with that identity. Identifying with love and light places one in alignment with the energy of appreciating the sacredness of all Life.

I can see how basically the spirit of things has vanished creating a void because we don't feed it, and it has gone extremely hungry and is devouring everything around it. By feeding the spirit, things should begin to change.
Again, the awareness of the sacredness of all life is what the pre-veil humans knew with much less distortion than us. It makes total sense, as we nourish our Spirit with love and light , the natural flow will be one of freedom, symbiosis, cooperation, community.
