Are you ?
Not necessarily, but you are more likely to be more mindful about what you eat.
In this blog, I’m continuing my story about how I became a vegetarian and then a pescatarian.
The first part was called “Do You Have to Be Vegan to Be Spiritual?” And you can read or re-read it HERE.
The second part was called “Does Your Diet Affect Your Spirituality?” And you can read or re-read it HERE.
So, let’s continue.
Do I feel guilty about being pescatarian? About eating fish and seafood? To a degree – yes. And so I have pretty well stopped ordering anything other than vegetarian in restaurants or for takeout. Will I become a vegan? Don’t think so, since for me, it’s too dramatic a step to take. At this point in my life anyway.
However, I stopped drinking cow’s milk and switched to almond or coconut beverages.
But I still enjoy cheese and yoghurt and even cottage cheese. We generally only buy eggs from free run chickens. And I still bless the animals in the transport trucks that I see on the highway as they make their way to the slaughterhouse.
But I have also listened to messages by Abraham-Hicks about food and eating.
That it’s not the food we eat but our belief about it. That it’s all about vibration.
And I understand what people mean when they say:
“Weren’t animals put on earth to serve human kind?”
“Isn’t the purpose of a chicken to lay eggs and a cow to give milk?”
“Everything in moderation”.
Well, the human diet appears to be a continuum. Carnivore, omnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan, and fruitarian. All the way to subsisting only on water and the rays of the sun [as some yogis and mystics can apparently do]. And everything in between.
I figure that my purpose in this existence is to have fun, and be happy. And to become a better person every day. It is also to experience joy and savor the succulent sweetness of life.
I am not what I was yesterday, or what I may become tomorrow. So, today I’m a pescatarian on the cusp of being vegetarian again.
And I love vegans for their good intentions. And I love my omnivore friends and family. And our carnivore, predator pets. You see, we all make our individual choices. And tend to do our best with what we have from where we are.
So no, you don’t have to be vegan to be spiritual. Or vegetarian or pescatarian. You just need to be grateful for whatever you eat.
Keep manifesting good things 🙂
