hi everyone....loving the discussion, i'm back to my basics of all raw veggis and fats with the addition of cooked meat....i think the lamb was a poor choice, maybe it was the quality....even though organic and humane something was wrong there, it was ground , so who knows what part of the animal i was really eating.
anyway, the fasting buddha story has personal meaning for me and i really do believe that spiritually, there are appropriate times to fast and be vegan and appropriate times to eat and engage in a different way
for me it was like i graduated from fasting. though i practice eastern meditation and medicine, my most intimate spiritual connection besides with nature itself, has been with Christ and i literally feel there came a time/ an age when i was told no more fasting, it's done. not that i shouldn't continue to eat in a way to maximize my consciousness and that at times i should limit animal intake but that at least for now my fasting period is over
when we need to let go of things, to die to the selves that we know and attatch to, it is time to fast and return through surrender to god. when god is ready to use us as a tool, we have to reach out and take nourishment for life here and now and fulfill our purpose
i don't know about raw meat. i still think on some level it is healthier. i had such an amazing experience with that buffalo. for the first time i saw our universal field, total non-duality
and it was completely visceral, not a concept
i came out of my fear that has made me try to stay seperated and now i am filled with abundant meaning of creativity and the limitless potential of what i can choose to do with this life
holy crap!
