What an excellent session! Thank-you, to all involved. When these sessions come along, its like receiving a gift in the mail.
A number of people pointed out that this session provided
"food for thought", which I thought summed up the heart of the whole veg/meat debate quite well.
Anyway. . .
A few points struck me while reading through all the posts. . .

Does that mean that it's possible that 4D humans in the future will one day eat 3D humans? Since 3D people aren't optimal nutrition for other 3D people, but are to those in 4D, will 4D people perceive 3D people the same way we perceive cattle and chickens today? One could make the argument that only the STS 4D humans will do such a thing, but given the lines of reasoning I've seen on the forum for eating 2D beings, they could be equally applied to eating 3D beings the next density over.
Please tell me I'm wrong about this.
Well, reading the Wave and other materials should clear this up, I think. I see 3D people energetically feeding on 3D people all the time, right here and now. It's what bullies and psychopaths do. It follows that 4D people will be able to do this with more facility. I recall reading that sexual energy is also harvested. (Which I find a somewhat unsettling concept. What a way to dampen one's sex life!) —Keeping in mind that it's all about energy at the higher levels; feeding on actual flesh has been explained as only being necessary when 4D visits lower levels.

Regarding Gandhi. . .
I had the thought that in spite of his own beliefs and intentions, he might have been played. —If there is a program for everyone, then without understanding the roots of the problem, without knowing the nature of the psychopath, etc., then teaching passive resistance, and *really* believing that everybody was equal and had access to compassion, then such a giant bit of cultural programming might have been entirely within the design parameters of the 4D farmer. All of India kept like a barn yard? (To phrase it as somebody pointed out earlier), —where the chickens are ever-available to the predator and can be counted upon to not fight back.
A similar corruption appears in Jesus' message, if I understand things correctly; the whole, "Turn the other cheek", "What would Jesus do? (Suffer without complaint on a cross!)" programming. —Except the Dark Side had to wait for Jesus to die first before they could spin his message, as he seems to have had a lot more knowledge than Gandhi. He wasn't teaching from a point of knowledge-weakness.

I do love animals, by the way. But I also understand that while on this world we do not have a choice but to kill to feed. Maybe in a future better world we won't need to.
I agree, especially with a ketogene diet I'm getting sometimes questioned, why I eat that many animals and if I don't feel sorry for them. I come up then with an explanation that it is simply a fuel, to give to the body what is most natural to it, the best fuel as it in the session was put. Most often it then leads to factory farming. And with a maybe more macabre way explaining it, helping them to get earlier out of these terrible cages.
I eat meat but I was vegetarian for the love of animals... I still feel sad when I see a truck with animals that are going to be killed and in what conditions my god. What can I do with this sadness that is still very strong sometimes? I there something I can do to palliate it? Or it will be always here. I really don't know.
I think, while I
do see the logic in Legolas' thinking, that this might also be somewhat evasive in a self-calming kind of way.
Torture is torture, and stacking animals, like chickens in little cages, I find quite offensive when I allow my mind to look on the practice of factory farming without filters. In any case, those animals are grain and chemical fed, which diminishes the quality of the 'fuel'. I just can't go there, for several reasons, not the least of which being, "As Above, So Below". I have a vague notion that if I treat my food with respect, perhaps the predator stalking me will give the same consideration. I'd much rather live a free-range, chemical-free life and have my body die with respect if I have to go, (and we all must.) —All very STS thinking, I'm not pretending it isn't, but I hope this thinking is a stepping stone towards a point where I have access to the choice to become properly STO.
And so, in the interim, I think the solution is to kill with compassion.
Of course, giving free range lives and respect to the animals which are going to feed us is not as I see it, (and I may be wrong), viable when considering that there are 7 Billion mouths on the planet. My thinking, though, is that many, if not most, of those mouths are not at a point in their learning cycle where they would benefit fully from a meat-rich, cruelty-free diet anyway. How many people are emotionally, psychologically and spiritually ready to face the challenges of 4D? Many can barely navigate their highly controlled 3D lives as it is, and I suspect they will need to do a lot more grind-work through 3D before they are ready to graduate. I see shifting one's food choices as a kind of result of raising one's frequency.
I *think* that those who need meat and who choose to try to imagine life in the shoes (or hooves) of others when making their food choices, will have the chance to meet their dietary objectives and may do so without the need for factory farming. So few seem to care as it is, so it's not like the demand for respectfully raised meat is stretching supply over-much.
I've always found the idea, (as it is often discussed in philosophy courses), of trying to create a uniformly even and 'Just' society where everybody experiences the same lessons, kind of ridiculous. I don't think fits with the nature of reality.
Just some thoughts.
Thanks again for the session! :)
