  What's the difference? They are both coming from the ego.. you go to some 
ridiculous extremes to justify your own position in this post. Humans bred

  Well, I say life eats life, and that's just the way it is. 
   Talk to a tree, it will tell you.  
  Do you not see the violence in your accusations? That's funny.  
  Your words seem angry.. but there was no anger in my killing, or any 
hatred or any negative emotion. Nature may seem violent, but there is only 
love.

  Listen to you go on and on.. who are you talking to, Danijel? Who needs 
to be convinced?  
  My body tells me it is carnivore.. one way it tells me this is thru 
allergies.  
  Would you "have the choice" to be a vegan if you were allergic to wheat, 
rice, beans, carrots, oranges, most nuts.. the list goes on.. have fun in 
your righteous judgmental world.. keep on pretending it is a pose of 
strength not fear... if you like it like that. 
 
  BTW oh Mr. Wise Guru who knows what is best for everyone, did you know 
that extreme judgmentalism is a symptom of unbalanced K.??  
  Of course it, is also a symptom of evolution often seen in arrogant 21 
year old males..;)   Something to do with testosterone, I think.. Goddess 
bless 'em.. :)))) They too are perfect.

  Killing out of mercy for the snake. Duh.  
  Killing quickly out of mercy for the pig. Duh.  
  So you care not for the reptiles worldwide who die of sunburn? 
   (shrug) OK, well, I do..  
  If you get an infection, do you have mercy on the bacteria? 
 
  What if I had killed rats again this time instead of a guinea pig? Takes 
several rats to equal the meat of one pig. The larger the meal, the less 
often she eats.. the pig will hold her for a month.  
  Rats have killed more humans than snakes, via being carriers for the 
black plague, amongst other diseases.. of course, plenty o rats have died 
horrible deaths for the causes of science, too.. and humans have been saved 
from rat-borne diseases by keeping pet snakes in the house since ancient 
times.  
  Cats and witches and snakes.. I am allergic to cats..  witches were 
accused of being in league with the devil coz they were more likely to 
survive the plague.. coz they kept predators in the house to kill vermin.  
  Two years ago there was a warning out coz wild rodents including mice 
were carrying a fatal bronchial disease.. my house was full of mice.. they 
were bringing in fleas.. the landlord would do nothing..  I put flea power 
down the air vents, to dust the mice.. Avalon of her own accord lived under 
my dresser beside the air vent, snacking on the mice that came into my 
bedroom.

  Since you apparently could not tell, o sensitive self styled Master, it 
was emotional expression. Weird from a grey alien like me, I know.. sorry 
to surprise you.. but I do love my snake.

  You want me to kill it with neglect. I'm not gonna. I love her, enough to 
kill for her. That's how it is. 
  It is easy to love the cute furry things.. it is easy to pray in church.. 
it is harder to love the scorpions, and harder to attain bliss in the 
cremation-ground.  
  It is easy to love you when you are showing your sweet face, it is harder 
to love you when you are flaming righteous judgmental. But I do, 
anyways...:* and I give you my attention.  
  And because being righteous seems to be something you enjoy, I will love 
you by poking you even more.. :) being even more bait for judgment for 
you.. here I AM.  
    ("...the villagers used to say I was Lucifer incarnate..;) sympathy for

  Poke poke poke.. even tho then you turn into a scorpion and get even

  Good for you. I don't feel much for the cause of Croatian Weasels, 
either. ;B
 
  I did spend many hours as a child attempting to wipe out the population 
of English sparrows, too.. coz they are foreign to Canada, and are taking 
over and driving out the native birds. One pair of sparrows can have 3 
nests of five eggs every summer.. They also cause major destruction to 
farmers, and it was on the family farm I was taught to find and destroy the 
nests, and throw the baby birds hard against the steel burning barrel so 
they were killed instantly and felt nothing but a moment's pre-mature 
flight. Farm cats ate what was left.  
  Finding the nests was a fun game. Killing the baby sparrows was not a 
game, but just something that had to be done, well and mercifully. Not the 
sparrows' fault they were breeding in the wrong country.. humans did that. 
Brought them here. 
 
  I was also taught how to snare and trap gophers to bonk 'em onna head.. 
and how to put up a flag and keep an eye on the trap or snare, when the 
flag went down the trap was sprung, and first priority is the gopher 
getting a speedy final exit from the trap, not be miserable breaking it's 
teeth on the steel for very long. Shot plenty of them, too.. learned to be 
a good shot so they would not suffer.  
  It is not something I do anymore.. I even let insects live, usually.. but 
it is normal for a country upbringing.  
  What was also normal was periodically the adults having to shoot packs of 
dogs that were killing sheep.. coz some city folks thought it was more 
"humane" to turn their unwanted pets loose in the country, rather than have 
them put down. These ex-housepets would form packs..  
  Cats, too.. numbers of unwanted housecats that had no idea how to survive 
in the wild.. the farm cats would half-kill them anyways. The coyotes got a 
fair number, I imagine.. there were lots of coyotes and foxes around, they 
were left alone as valuable predators, unless they went after sheep. 
Coyotes are smart.. few did.  
  Of course, we would find coyotes that had been shot by city folks for 
target practice.. hawks, too.. twice, we rescued injured red tailed hawks 
and brought them to the zoo rehab. One was released, the other became 
display.  
  Your issues around death are not mine. I surrender to my Tao. I am a part 
of nature.  
  I know death is too important a transition to ever be an accident, in a 
universe without accidents. I have spent much time speaking to the dead 
ones.. and telling them this comfort, so they may give up the regrets and 
fear they are hanging on to, and go into the light.  
  Wings of the Psychopomp. Death is a part of life. All things are 
impermanent. All things are eternal.

  All manifestations are equally perfect.. perfectly equal. and some eat 
others. This is also perfect.  
  Someday something will happen to my head and the worms will eat me. So it 
goes. I do not know when that time will come, the lines in my hands say it 
is a long way off.. but I don't fear it. It is something I have done 
before. It is my hope that when it comes, it is quick and painless.

you the best of luck with them. That you are projecting them onto me is 
getting ... kind of predictable :) but it seems to be something you enjoy, 
and it does not harm me, so have fun at it.

There is a good reason for the practice of ahimsa. As Life is one, killing 
is a partial suicide. It will leave impressions in the subconscious mind. 
These will add up and when raising K. or meditating, these impressions are 
met as blocks or hindrances. Humans are very similar, as they belong to one 
species. Their digestive tracts vary very slightly and only in capacity, not 
in function. Both carnivores and omnivores secrete en enzyme (uricase) to 
dispose of uric acid, a substance that is the byproduct of protein 
digestion. Without this enzyme, carnivores and omnivores would get ill and 
die very soon. Primates don't have this enzyme, so they are neither 
carnivores nor omnivores. Our closest relatives in the primate world are the 
bonobos: they prefer to feed on fruits and so should we. Our digestive tract 
is too short for a herbivore, so leafy vegetables should be juiced. As it 
can take up to a few months before the body is adapted to a diet of mainly 
fruits and during this period one can feel awfully bad/weak, many come to 
the wrong conclusion. If the body doesn't adapt it means there is an 
existing health-problem that should taken care of first. The very fact that 
humans are mammals means that the subjective experience of eating is 
unconsciously associated with feelings of motherly love, care and security. 
The like for food is our first and strongest tendency. It is the reason why 
the majority is incapable of reflecting objectively on the matter. During 
one's practice of meditation there will (hopefully) come a phase where the 
tendencies start to die out. This goes according to the rule: What came 
first, will go last. It means, that the tendency "moderation of diet" will 
die out long before "like for food" dies out; this explains the fat Buddhas 
and yogis. The above, unconscious association of eating is also the reason 
why many emotional problems transform into eating disorders. As a rule, 
everything in the abyss of the unconscious can be a serious hindrance, be it 
for raising K. or for meditation.

Horsefeathers.  Sounds like vegetarian evangelistic propaganda to me.  Tell 
that to a diabetic, who must carefully regulate sugars and other 
carbohydrates.  Their digestive systems obviously does something very 
different with these substances than a non-diabetic's system would. Some 
people handle fruits, grains and legumes well; others do not.  As I said 
before, one size never fits all.  Some people can take a handful of 
aspirin; if I take even two, my ears ring and I feel like I'm going to 
vomit.  Some people's systems won't handle strawberries, some won't take 
tomatoes and lots can't handle milk or dairy products at all.  Still 
luckier folks can eat anything without worry.  No two people are exactly 
alike.  For that matter, no two animals are exactly alike, either.  I had 
one cat that was allergic to milk--it would make him very sick.  My others, 
over the years, had no problems with milk.  Some have been allergic to 
certain medications, while others weren't.  Same species, different 
digestions, different needs.

Making meat-eating or the morality of killing an issue in the first

  Are we talking about the same subconscious? 
  The subconscious that marshals white blood cells to kill bacteria, the 
same subconscious that allows cancer when the Higher self says it is time 
to die? the same unconscious that holds the "lizard brain", where we and 
the Serpents are One?  
  The same subconscious which is connected to the Jungian cosmic 
consciousness, which knows All of the play of life an death?  
  All death is suicide on a higher self level. Life and death are One on 
the Wheel.  
 The blocks come from the resistance to this.. the judgments and fears of 
the ego. 
 
 Human.are very similar, as they belong to one 
>species. Their digestive tracts vary very slightly and only in capacity, not

  Goddess is limitless manifestation, and humans can differ quite a bit in 
their dietary needs. The simplest example of this is lactose intolerance. 
Asians often cannot tolerate milk products, whereas light skinned northern 
races learned to use lactose as vitamin D. during the sunless months, and 
adapted their digestion to tolerate it.  
  I do see this attitude of "Vegan is holier than thou" as a form of 
spiritual racism tho.  
  If the Tibetans got overrun by China coz they were so evolved, then what 
about the native Americans??

  Dunno about the enzyme.. but I do know a study was done on rain forest 
primates, to know more of their eating habits.. it was thought that such 
primates are picky eaters of fruits, because so much of what they eat is 
tossed away after one bite.  
  Turns out that they were not after the perfect fruit, they were finding 
the fruit with bugs in it, biting out and eating the part with the bug and 
tossing the rest. Picky eaters of insects and grubs. Life eats life. They 
help the trees by eating the bugs.   
  Smart monkey uses a stick to eat the termites.. just like us..

  Mmmmm.. it also explains the stories of yogis who become incapable of 
feeding themselves, and must be fed by their disciples or they will die. My 
body does not prompt me to eat very often as it is.. but I am glad it does 
sometimes, and gives me cravings for exactly what it needs. Or I'd forget 
to eat and become reaaaly skinny..

  Wasn't this a Muppets episode? "Pigs in space"..  
  There is also the one about the robot aliens who disdained us coz we are 
made of meat.. and I remember a science fiction story about aliens decided 
to wipe us out so they would not catch a deadly disease.. Chess.  
  Is is really all about fear of rejection?? Weaning off the breast? That 
is non Vegan too, I guess.  
  Cannibals call humans "long pig".. Christians eat the body of Christ, 
Kali chews on Buddha guts.  
  So it goes.. Blessings, Mystress.

In some places if there were no snakes and things to keep the rodent 
population 
in balance there would be enormous swings in population (as occurs in 
Australia 
sometimes even though they have snakes). 
The population increases geometrically to the point where everything is 
consumed. 
Which can be crops that people rely on to live.  Then most of the rodents 
starve 
to death and the other stuff recovers quicker than the rodents etc. and the 
cycle 
repeats.  If killing is wrong do we let the rodents eat us out of house and 
home 
without trying to limit their population in some way - ie kill some of them 
- even 
if it is by introducing a natural predator to keep them in balance.  Here in 
New Zealand we have introduced animals which are causing terrible problems. 
Are we not supposed to kill the possums but let them destroy the beautiful 
native bush and thus the native bird population. Not to mention that they 
carry TB and sometimes transfer it to cows which endangers our health and 
exports.  As to the rabbits - they do unbelievable damage to the high country. 
The trouble is introduced natural predators like stoats and weasels go for 
native birds and the like.  The are no easy answers to this killing business 
and as far as I am concerned if mystress wants to feed the odd rat or guinea 
pig to her beloved snake more power to her.  It may not be something I would 
be happy to do but I will not condemn her for it.
 
Take the apparently healthy idea of drinking fruit juice. This is not the 
natural way fruit comes.  The latest research shows that human protein 
exposed to fructose is 
altered in the same way that occurs naturally with age.  So imbibing an 
amount that 
is not immediately digested may not be good for you.  As against eating 
fruit where 
it my enter your system more slowly.
 
I am currently on holiday from my job and from my part-time studies, so can 
follow 
this list and contribute.  Even so it takes keeping up with.  I think my 
normal  
thing will be lurking and occasionally mass deleting. I am really enjoying 
the list though.

"Well, what do you think, Pooh?" I said. 
 "Think about what?" asked Pooh. 
 "The Tao of Pooh, of course." 
 "The *how* of Pooh?" asked Pooh. 
 "Do we have to go through *that* again?" I said. 
 "Go through *what" again?" asked Pooh. 
 "The Tao of Pooh?" I said. 
 "What's the Tao of Pooh?" 
 "You know--the Uncarved Block, the Cottles- 
ton Pie Principle, the Pooh Way, *That* Sort of Bear, 
and all that." 
 "Oh," said Pooh. 
 "That's the Tao of Pooh," I said. 
 "Oh," said Pooh. 
 "How would *you* describe it?" I asked. 
 "Well ... this just came to me," he said.  "I'll 
sing it to you." 
 "All right." 
 "Now, then...(er*hum*),"
 
      ''To know the Way, 
 We *go* the Way; 
 We *do* the Way 
 The way we do 
 The things we do. 
 It's all there in front of you, 
 But if you try too hard to see it, 
 You'll only become Confused.
 
 I am me, 
 And you are you, 
 As you can see; 
 But when you do 
 The things that *you* can do, 
 You will find the Way, 
 And the Way will follow you.''
 
 "That's what *I* think it is," he said. 
 "*Perfect*," I said.  "But you know, don't you . . ." 
 "Know what?" said Pooh. 
 "It's the same thing." 
 "Oh," said Pooh. "So it is."

The length of the human digestive tract varies. In places where people have 
traditionally eaten lots of meat it is much shorter.  In places where 
people eat 
lots of vegies it is quite a bit longer.
