Chia`s cosmic healing book, page 150. A beatiful picture of “Let`s do it” crystal and next to it an ugly “Do it” crystal. The pictures are from the book of the Japanese researcher.

I think it`s more about intention. Good intetion, good karma, bad intention bad karma (even if you are doing a good deed). Although, to be honest, I don`t have any kind of intention when eating (at least not one that I`m aware of).

*Example: You and a friednd go out hunting. You just watch, your friends shoots an animal. You eat the animal. You can say, oh, I didn't kill the animal, I'm just eating it. It's already dead. Mayeb concsios thinks nothing of it, but subconcsious knows.
September 10, 2006 at 12:18 pm #17758Depends on the intention of the hunting/killing. I don`t think we`ll agree on this, as I don`t see anything at all wrong with eating meat. Of course in time I may change my mind. One thing I do think though, is that it`s possible that by becoming more advanced in energetic practice diet might have to change as the body might not be able to digest meat so well.
September 11, 2006 at 3:36 am #17760Gentlemen, the real issue here is in the search for what is right and what is wrong instead of the search for what is most appropriate and useful. Spirit doesn’t judge. We make up our rewards and punishments. Beliefs are all-powerful. As Ram Dass said several decades ago: “It’s not about eating meat or not eating meat. It’s about who’s doing it and why?”

January 17, 2007 at 1:53 pm #17762While not an expert, my experience of eastern mystic concepts of emptiness is that this mean CLEAR..
BUT it also implies an emptiness wherein all things occur.. there seems to be a certain faith that in the emptiness, thins spontaneously generate, there is a peace to it…
I do not think it should hva ever been stated wihtout proper understanding and context
it is an emtiness that is a fullness, a total clarity within which all things occur..
