I believe eating meat is natural, its part of our this density experience. Does the lion damage its soul when it eats the zebra? No, it is doing what it was designed for. If the lion suddenly switched to a diet of grass it would die. If humans aren't meant to eat meat then we wouldn't derive nutrition from it. If we were to suddenly switch to a vegetarian diet, we would have to supplement it and mix foods to make complete proteins. I some how doubts our ancestors could have known about this 20,000 years ago. As hunter gathers, they ate whatever they could, which is why we are still hear today with our omnivorous stomachs and bodies that require meat.
The only thing that goes against nature is the disgusting way we treat the animals before we eat them.

Well, I don't criticize anyone for their choice in lifestyle. Those ho are vegetarians do so by choice as those who are meat eaters remain meat eaters. I do not recall ever having met an Indigenous person who espoused that vegetarianism is necessary to respect nature and the earth. It is my understanding that meat eating is admissible as the circle of life. As long as that life is respected and spirit is thanked for the sacrifice to nourish.
Truthfully to be respectful of nature then we as meat eaters must deal with the fact that animals are not raised in a respectful and humane manner. So I try to limit myself to free range. I am not present when that animal gives up its life to feed me . So I do the next best thing and thank Mother Earth and that animal for the sustenance provided.

The crime is not in eating meat, it is in the way they are treated and the lives they are forced to live to feed us. IMHO.

In the long run we will have to deal with the meat eating aspect of our nature. It is said that for our light bodies to develop fully we must not consume flesh. I was vegetarian for 4 years and had to go back to my carnivorous ways due to health and muscle mass issues. I may try again , but not sure when that will be happening.

Do I feel like a hypocrite? Yes , many times. Am I trying to correct it ? Yes, not easy though.
Do I believe that it is wrong? We believe nature to be cruel because survival of the fittest is cruel. Animals kill to eat and survive. We take the cowards way out and allow others to kill that which will nourish us. But in the long run the outcome is the same. We are animals on this chain of life. Albeit some of us more enlightened than others. Yet animals nonetheless.

Would I love to be more enlightened and above this need or desire for meat? Yes , I would , the road is a difficult one. One I have proven to myself before that I can accomplish. But difficult nonetheless.

So I guess until the time comes that I can overcome my bodies need for flesh I will live the life of hypocrisy. Trying to be thankful and as respectful as I possibly can to the life that was sacrificed so that I may be healthy. That is all I can do for now.

Goodnight and may you have sweet dreams, dear one!

Visions of the golden spinning merkhabah which when still transforms into a golden form of human alight with pure energy and filled with love. Surrounded by the beauty of nature as it should be and the energy of all those incredible creatures. We will once again reclaim our place on this earth and fulfill our promises to our mother. She has waited much too long for us to fulfill our promises to her and her children. May we do her justice in our attempt to make things right once again.

[desertrose]

So Shall it be , my Sister. For as we intend so shall we create a kinder, gentler, more loving world. Where we will finally be able to live as we were meant to be. In harmony with Mother Earth as guardians for her and all her creatures.

Amen to that Teresa. Animals are precious and deserving of care and love. In my case mine are my furry and four legged babies. I really don't care how crazy people may think I am. They give unconditional love and deserve to be protected. What has been done to nature is unforgivable,we can never do enough to make up for the destruction our species has wrought upon the earth and her creatures.
