"Vegetarianism functioned as a purification...If you eat something which is fundamentally based on murder,on violence you cannot rise above the law of necessity. You will remain more or less an animal

"Vegetarianism functioned as a purification. When you eat animals you are more under the law of necessity. You are heavy, you gravitate more towards the earth. When you are a vegetarian you are light and you are more under the law of grace, under the law of power, and you start gravitating towards the sky. Your food is not just food: it is you. What you eat, you become. If you eat something which ...is fundamentally based on murder, on violence, you cannot rise above the law of necessity. You will remain more or less an animal. The human is born when you start moving above the animals, when you start doing something to yourself which no animal can do. Vegetarianism is a conscious effort, a deliberate effort, to get out of the heaviness that keeps you tethered to the earth so that you can fly -- so that the flight from the alone to the alone becomes possible. The lighter the food, the deeper goes the meditation. The grosser the food, then meditation becomes more and more difficult. I am not saying that meditation is impossible for a non-vegetarian -- it is not impossible, but it is unnecessarily difficult."

Yes they like living in houses too. Houses made from murdered trees. But you dont see them going out and living in caves do ya . hypocrites is EXACTLY the term for these people who claim they dont eat animals because it is mean. They need to take off their blinders and look around at nature. Its not all rainbows and unicorns in Nature. It is also sharks and bears and lions.

Assiya is impresive that you have been vegan for 18 years and your doing fine. I wish I was vegan sometimes , but I cant. I have strong GERD i dont disegst allot of fruits are to sour for me , im also Gluten intolerant I cant eat wheat producs they make me sick , I also get anemic easy . Im not going risk my health to pleasure vegetarians Im not hindu and my asestors had eat meat fror so many Generations. You see me as a meat eater and you got negative feeling towards me cause you think is my fault that a cow die. A cow can feed over hundred humans , there parts of india that children are skin and bones in starvation. Now Assiya I tell you that my view is contradictory to your I see what you dont.

~you can be vegan

~fruits are sour to you becouse-too much fake/refined sugar, posibly you eat

~gluten intolerance can be cured by stopping eating fake breads/pasta/soy products/milk..............being vegan and eating plants I am tolerant towards wheat sprouts, rye sprouts, alfalfa or flax sprouts/even organic soy

~one gets anemic 'couse your body is deprived of minerals and vitamins obtained, only, by fresh veggies and fruit

~I had generations of ancestors of "bad" dna and karma of animal suffering. One can rise above what we are led to believe.

~I don't see you as meat eater, I was one meself once, I only see better world and unfortunately for meat eaters that kind of world has no room in counsciuos , kind, peaceful, loving and compassionate reality above 4th level, as ALL chanelers channel..............................................
