Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 No one is blaming you Randy. Eat and drink what you want. Some vegetarians may view your comparison between carrot and steak to be in bad taste. As said before, food is a very personal matter. I used to eat meat. I also ate fish for many years. Now I am a vegetarian. That is how things are. What is natural at one time becomes unnatural at another. If one is authentic in the moment, one has done what can be done. To be spiritually proud because we eat certain foods or meditate or follow some great teacher, or know samadhis or are wise and enlightened etc., is just another burden. To know one is ordinary is the greatest freedom. Then one is done with all the hassles. Who are we going to impress? And when we try to impress people, or create a certain image of us, there is a cost associated with that. We have to worry about maintaining that image and we can be imprisoned in it. The simplest thing is to be who you are and to give others full freedom to be who they are.

Namaste H, I agree with much of what you say but many aren't spiritually proud because they are veggies. Perhaps they just don't like violence and cruelty?..............ONS...Tony.
