Tony/Does meat eating indicate a lack of spiritual developement?

[Guest guest]

--- Dear Tony,

that would of course depend on your view, your perception if you

will. there is need to hunt, the animals become over populated and

suffer horribly otherwise. There is only enough food for a certain

number, beyong that number, there is starvation, disease, suffering

that was not ment to be because we have placed ourselves outside of

our place in the sacred circle of life. We do not choose our place,

it was granted us by grandfather in his wisdom. When we choose to

leave this place that was granted to us in the name of "progress", we

do untold damage. Within the Circle, there are many roles, it is

needed to maintain balance, not my design, it is that of grandfather

and i am not worthy to question his wisdom. He created all, and did

so as He saw fit and proper. Just as easily He can wipe away that

which displeases Him, we would all do well to remember that.

Love Gracie
