"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."

This belief is totally incorrect .... meditation has nothing to do with what type of food you eat ... If you want to FEEL your energy rise via Kundalini Energy ... just go to onlinemeditation.org ... where you can actually FEEL the energy in your hands and above your head ... don't believe false beliefs that have no proof behind them except for words ... Feel the experience first and then make your decision ... This world is filled with people's false belief systems ... Always go by the experience and what you feel

OK MOL, I do think you are getting your point across with your graphic videos ... but take into account there is tremendous evidence regarding meat being a necessity in some peoples diets ... take a look at "blood-type diets" or even the "Paleo Diet" .... I am 100% against the cruel killing of animals ... but at the same time I do need to have the protein of meat in my diet, in order to feel Iam at 100% .... I tried to cut meat out of my diet at one point ... and I didn't feel that good for that month .... I did research on my blood types and found out why I need to have a meat based protein diet .... but I do understand your point with the way animals are killed .... but nevertheless, its really starting to bug me every time Mr. Krishna states that meat-eating humans are evil ... If he chooses to eat a bird-seed diet that is his private choice ... I don't go around and bash his kind ... Where is the respect?

I eat organically grown meat not the poison in the grocery store!

So while love my burgers and fries I do not condone the corporate slaughter houses and their practices!

Well hate to use such tactics but like you say trying to get the point across. I understand the need for protein, as our bodies are lacking three of the cell salts that it needs, as well as being poisoned by numerous foods that we do eat. But there have to be alternatives. There is absolutely NOTHING that we cannot do if we set our intention to it.,

But mainly its making a choice as relates to spiritual growth , and being as one with all life. What if the tables were turned? And humans were on the menu?

In a galactic society there are many many types of beings as I understand it. Do you think they would invite you to their dinner table if they thought of you as a cannibal?

Its about giving up ALL that you THINK you need and climbing the ladder out of the bondage. Who knows, they may turn the lights on in 2012 and say "Please exit through the curtains on the left and right".But the choices we make now affect what our future will be like. And we cannot create paradise, if we are still living in shit.. Pardon my french..:-)

Humans ARE on the menu. Go out in the wild without weapons or food. See how long it takes before some brother of spirit in nature decides you taste good. What you eat has nothing to do with what level your soul is at. This debate and argument is pointless because the supporters of vege-ism are just trying to guilt people into acting like they do. Religions have done this for eons as well. New agers should practice what they preach more and be more accepting and understanding of those on different path than themselves since the cry of the lightworker is for people to respect their beliefs. Like many christians do they attack and command others who do not believe what they believe, but when the spotlight is turned on their belief they cry foul and no fair and go all ad hominem.
