| Thoughts on Meat Eating Pt2 |
| This is an update to my Thoughts on the Eating of Meat page. I continue to stand by the thoughts contained on the first page because they were my thoughts then and I cannot change that. Those thoughts will also continue to be the thoughts of others who are currently seeking confirmation of their own feelings about the subject. However, as of 16/03/03 I am no longer a meat eater and am a vegetarian! This is as strange to me as it may be to anyone else who reads this and knows me personally. I have (perhaps had?) a medical condition that meant that I had to limit my intake of fruit, cereals and veg very strictly and meat was essential for my survival. This in mind, I did not make the decision to become vegetarian after much thought and deliberation or even on Humane grounds. I woke up on the Sunday morning of 16/03/03 with the feeling that I had to stop eating meat, simple as that. It is perfectly possible that at a subconscious level there were moral reasons for this, at present I do not know as I have not meditated upon it. Anyway, I had the typical Brit Sunday "Brunch" of bacon and eggs etc and didn't enjoy it which reinforced my "intuition" and frankly have not looked back! I don't miss meat at all, in fact I am thoroughly enjoying my new lifestyle and into the bargain my health has not suffered one little bit! I actually feel much better, my thoughts have more clarity and I do harbour doubts about the wisdom of the docs whose diet I have rigidly adhered to for some 36 years! I doubted all those who said I would feel better and I eat humble pie right here and now! Something else has come to my attention through this. A very good and well informed friend has also told me that cheese is out too. I know what you are thinking, I thought the same thing too and questioned it. (Nothing dies for the production of cheese?) Most of the folks who visit and read the pages on this site are fellow "seekers", individuals following their own Spiritual Paths and the information that follows is very important. Cheese is a major cause of Spiritual "Blocks" and can hold us back! This is a major blow to me personally because I had planned to supplement my diet with the stuff! :-))) I've started phasing it out and hope you do too! Well, that's my update/news for now, if you have any veggie recipes you feel I might like, please feel free to either post them in the forum where everyone can benefit or e-mail me diretly using the button on the homepage! Namast�, Alan |
