I consider myself a non-strict vegan, I drink milk on occasion, and will have eggs mixed into cookies or brownies. It seems to me that 10 days isn't really long enough to experience the full benefits. I've been a vegetarian for about a year and a half. I really feel that I have been able to strongly feel a shift in my body and my soul. 10 days seem short, you may feel lighter or cleaner, but its only really a dabbling.

I grew up on a farm where we raised our own animals for food. I've definitely seen both sides of the track. You've probably never had to kill or butcher for your food (sorry for the graphic picture!), so meat is something you pick up from the store. Let me just say that killing animals for food is not something that is glorifying or even remotely romantic or fun. Its a disgusting process, and while we treated our animals relatively well, it is deeply traumatizing to kill animals and that physical trauma is left in the meat that you eat. And its even worse with animal factories.

So even at best the meat that you can get is organic and small farm raised, its still has the energetic trauma that you are putting into your body. Luckily vegetables don't experience that trauma to my knowledge, so we just ingest enzymatically charged, healthy foods.

So in a way, to me, being a meat eater is saying, I like to feast on death. I choose to ingest food that is not energetically promoting life in my body, its promoting pain, suffering, and I'm ingesting that into my body. I'm making that a part of my body, and therefore my life experience. Is that really the best you want for your life? Is that really the highest level of consciousness you can aspire to?

I don't believe that it is.

I do apologize for the soap-box reply, usually I am a very easy going when it comes to meat eaters and friends in my life. But something struck a cord in me, and I had to let it out. I guess I feel if people come to this site and seek to become more conscious, they should be more conscious about ingesting death-filled energy and substances into their bodies, and wake up to the reality of where our food comes from.

Thanks for reading,

Sincerely,

Ben S
