Dolazy,
I'd like to expand on my subjective reality model 3, which I may refer to as a multi-avatar subjective reality, to address your question from the quote above. Under this model when something becomes manifest more than one intention must be satisfied. In fact it seems the sum of all intentions would need to be satisfied and not contradict with each other.
When all avatar's intentions play a part in what is healthy, it makes more sense that a vegan diet would be healthy. Here is where compassion and health go hand in hand. If your actions are better for the whole the whole will benefit from rewarding you for your actions. Or maybe plants are less vengeful or just don't mind being eaten as much as cows do
From Steve's subjective reality
pod-cast I would say he definitely believed model 2 at that time. I really think a multi-avatar subjective reality answers more questions than it brings up and is perfectly consistent with intention/manifestation. It definitely explains why congruency is important and provides a much stronger argument for compassion and morality.
As far as I can tell this model is also consistent with Abraham-Hicks, Eckhart Tolle, Nisargadatta Majaraj and the Bhagavad Gita. Non of these advocate a vegan diet however. Abraham-Hicks seems to believe that both predator and prey welcomed the competitive game of eat and be eaten when they agreed to incarnate. I want to believe we will evolve beyond that and perhaps the problem of factory farming will move us in that direction. Research such as the
China Study would indicate that we are (in this model). The
bird flu will certainly motivate us to address the factory farming issue if predictions are correct.
