For that matter, If you were forced to live in the

very far north,

would you

eat fish and meat and still consider yourself

"spiritual"<

 

Tony's answer:

I just used meat eating for it usually elicits

reponse, but I could have used any other addiction

rather than meat addiction or any desire.

 

I live in Canada and have been up north, most of the

natives that I saw got their food from the supermarket

like everyone else, and their liquor, and clothes from

a store as well. I doubt they even know how to use

traditional weapons even. The kids can play pokemon

though. These are hackeyed arguments and usually

shooting from the hip from people who are addicted to

their desires and try and justify them. As I said

bullshit.

 

I was trying to find out who was on here not teach

anybody anything. That would be somewhat difficult to

people who already know everything wouldn't it? I mean

I have had 'realised people', answer me, what a joke!!

 

I just wanted to find out if they were for real or it

was all just intellectualism. I thought perhaps they

may even know something, I had overlooked.

 

However the point is not whether one eats meat but

whether one has the level of awareness and compassion

to realise one shouldn't, kill, never mind all the

stuff about non-dualism and realisation etc.

Not worth two bob if it is just words on a list.

 

It is an interesting diversion though, but mostly

bullshit, and from the types who relish piling

writings upon writings ha ah ah.

 

Om Namah Sivaya, Tony.
