Reader's Comment: Man is not born to eat meat

Way back in 1968, which decade I dubbed, "The World's Decade of Awareness," mainly because I Awoke right then and was able to realize it was so, I decided to stop eating animal flesh. I also quit smoking and doing all manner of other things that I knew were harming me. I considered the most harmful items to be the two named here.

There were no vegetarians I knew of that were anywhere close to me. But I knew I had to stop eating animal flesh. So I asked around about it, even consulted with doctors. To the last advisor, friend, doctor, or otherwise, I was told that if I stopped eating animal flesh, I would die of malnutrition.

They all said, "You cannot and must not stop eating meat. It is your very life substance."

But I knew I had to stop eating it.

I determined, "If it kills me, I'll just be dead."

So I stopped eating animal flesh. I also began to learn about nutritional supplements. At that time, nutrition was virtually about nothing except counting calories. As for vitamins, there was very little authoritative knowledge available. The typical medical doctor had not the slightest idea what nutrition was about except to advise a patient to consume a 'Four Foods Group" daily, with primary attention on counting calories, in which maximum vegetable intake was ridiculous in light of today's knowledge. It wasn't much.

Lo and behold, when I stopped eating animal flesh, the science of nutrition came to my aid and literally exploded with research and knowledge on the subject in order to sustain me in my "folly." Counting calories was still important, but soon there were hundreds of items regarding vitamins and other supplements that were equally important. Calorie-counting was bulldozed out of the forefront of "all-importance" by the outburst of nutritional knowledge. Eventually, the addition of more and more veggies were added incrementally to the daily Four Foods Group until finally, researchers just basically advised, "Eat the maximum of the widest variety of veggies you can every day." 

For me, it was a real miracle that arrived with perfect timing.

The result is that I have not eaten animal flesh (knowingly) for more than forty-two years. Today, at 73, I am so far above and beyond ALL the flesh eaters around me, health wise, including the youngest and seemingly hardiest, that there is no comparison between us. At age 69, for instance, with my bare hands, legs and back, I was able to lift one of the wheels of my Ford Ranger completely off the ground while it was still attached to the vehicle. I could, and still can, pluck an engine out of a vehicle with bare hands. At 73, my muscles are still rock-hard and well developed, including a stomach that can take a fist blow hard enough to knock me off my feet without harming my stomach or knocking the wind out of me. A sledge hammer would probably do the trick. Well into my 60's, I have sustained crushing blows, some to shins, with steel objects (accidentally,) which left no typically enduring visible bruises for more than a few hours. My body does not bruise easily. This spells cellular stamina.

But more important even than superb physical condition is the shape my mentality is in: the force within the forces that is driving it all. Way back when I began starving the "animal flesh eater" in me, I realized that I AM what I eat, and that I took on many of the animal characteristics of the beasts I assimilated. This is not true of the plant realm because the plant that one consumes does not possess animal vitalities, hormones, secretions, and various other assimilable driving energies inherent in animal flesh that have the power to upset the complex clockwork of a more evolved human being that is not created to process flesh. The human body works harder and produces more toxic energies within itself to assimilate animal flesh than it does for the plant, while the plant comes to one's plate virtually pre-digested to assimilate more easily and compatibly to provide a healthier form of cellular nutrition.

It is known scientifically, medically and physiologically that the entire body of the human being (except for the grey matter of the brain) dies off cell-by-cell and moment-to-moment to be replaced (reborn) through cellular mitosis/meiosis. On average of 7 years, a human body is thus born anew in its entirety (excepting the grey matter of brain.)

If one is using animal flesh to feed, nourish and create this continuing and constant cellular re-birthing process, many of the toxic chemical substances of the animal thus assimilated are transferred into, and become part and parcel of, the new cell. This distorts the cell in various harmful ways, little by little, which are virtually undetectable over one's lifetime, constituting an overall cellular decline all the way from less than optimum, to ill health, death, and oblivion. It is a fitting punishment for the human omnivore in more ways than one.

In my forty-second year of vegetarianism, my entire body has thus been replaced 6 times (assuming I am anywhere near average in the regard.) In that time, all the cellular substances that give rise to my body and thoughts have to have been cleansed of the lower animal substances that normal flesh eaters assimilate and thereby become in body and thought. I am on my 7th cellular body replacement right now sans animal flesh, having begun at age 28.

The whole world seems to be keeping pace with me (as two race cars competing at Sebring) in contrasting effects of what each of us is, has been and are becoming. The world seems to be falling apart at the seams while I continue to maintain my physical strength, general health, vitality and sanity.

Indeed, I am so mentally and physically together that I feel, and am certain, that I am Ascending into a whole different, much-elevated realm of existence fairly rapidly right now while the whole world is going to hell.

In the equation I would like to tell how Absolute my relationship is with God Almighty, which was not so absolute (or even existent) when I was a flesh eater way back then, but I have already attempted it a couple of times (on the Internet) and met with the screeching, howling animosity of hell when I barely stuck my little toe in that area. Many ordinary, normal people seem to want to kill me for how close to God I am. I somehow threaten authority pretty fiercely. Preachers will not get close to me. Only the fewest and wisest on the Internet refrain from taking part in the orgy of attack that gushes at me when I begin to mention God in the most powerful way, which, even so, still constitutes little but "sticking my toe" in the Reality. If I were to haul out the Big Truth, I would probably be attacked by the U.S. military sooner than later. If later, I might be ready. Ooops, did I give too much away there? :)

I know exactly why Jesus was rejected, even killed (murdered?) He was too close to God Almighty in a world that was descending in the other direction. Poor Jesus.

As a postscript, I would like to mention that according to Anthropological knowledge (and even biblical reference*), man was not created a flesh eater. Some of the most salient realities of human anatomy and physiology (in addition to the Bible) reveal that the human being is constructed to be a vegetarian, not animal flesh eater. And so, it is not a question of "becoming" a vegetarian; it is a matter of just being what one already is, which means refraining from eating animal flesh.
