In regards to eating meat

Again, this isn't directed at you, Ankh. I'm just commenting on the quotes you posted.

Are you picking a fight with me?? Just kidding!!

My quote was meant in this way: I see great advices from Pickle, Diana and you, for the one who wants to start a new journey in dietary matters. I wanted to add another advice to already given, great, advices, and that is to have respect for the self, as I saw this advice missing. It was an additional information.

I understand what you mean, and that it has been infected discussions before. I didn't mean to have any disputes, but to give an advice, which was, in my eyes, missing.

To begin to master the concept of mental discipline it is necessary to examine the self. The polarity of your dimension must be internalized. Where you find patience within your mind you must consciously find the corresponding impatience and vice versa. Each thought that a being has, has in its turn an antithesis. The disciplines of the mind involve, first of all, identifying both those things of which you approve and those things of which you disapprove within yourself, and then balancing each and every positive and negative charge with its equal. The mind contains all things. Therefore, you must discover this completeness within yourself.

The second mental discipline is acceptance of the completeness within your consciousness. It is not for a being of polarity in the physical consciousness to pick and choose among attributes, thus building the roles that cause blockages and confusions in the already-distorted mind complex. Each acceptance smoothes part of the many distortions that the faculty you call judgment engenders.

The third discipline of the mind is a repetition of the first but with the gaze outward towards the fellow entities that it meets. In each entity there exists completeness. Thus, the ability to understand each balance is necessary. When you view patience, you are responsible for mirroring in your mental understanding, patience/impatience. When you view impatience, it is necessary for your mental configuration of understanding to be impatience/patience. We use this as a simple example. Most configurations of mind have many facets, and understanding of either self polarities, or what you would call other-self polarities, can and must be understood as subtle work....
