Your Cat Stevens song (above) is now in a commercial. What I've heard of it in that commercial sounds good. I very much enjoy the sentiment of "Do what you want," which the song seems to impart.IP: Logged |

And now we come to what I always say. People come and ask: Is it better not to drink alcohol or to drink alcohol? Is it better to be a vegetarian or to eat meat? I never tell anyone whether he should give up alcohol or drink it, whether he should eat plants or meat. I say to people: Alcohol does so and so. I simply explain its effect, and then they may decide whether to drink or not. I do the same with regard to vegetarian or meat diet: Meat does this and plants do that. And the result is that they can decide for themselves... One does not tire so quickly. From within the organism one does not get so tired because one does not deposit all this uric acid and its salts. One does not tire so quickly and keeps a clearer head and can therefore think more easily, that is, if one thinks at all... We must understand each other precisely as to the purpose of today's lecture and the intention behind it. We are not agitating in favour of particular tendencies, nor are we trying to be reformative. The spiritual scientist is obliged to state the truth of things. His attitude must never be agitatorial, and he must be confident that when a person has perceived the truth of what he says, he will then proceed to do the right thing... Now I do not proselytise, I merely want to state the truth. We shall get to know still other effects of meat diet; we shall be obliged to discuss this subject in some detail. This is why progress in inner anthroposophical life gradually produces a sort of revulsion against meat. It is not as though one has to forbid meat to anthroposophists, but the healthily progressing instinct gradually turns against meat and no longer likes it. And this is much better than becoming a vegetarian out of some abstract principle. The best is when spiritual science causes man to develop a kind of aversion for meat.

"It can be said that the greatest single cause of degeneration in man is the use of fire in the preparation of foods." ~ Arnold De Vries, The Fountain of Youth
The Teachings of Pythagoras: "There was a man here... He was first to say that animals should not be eaten, and learned though he was, men did not always believe him when he preached, 'Forbear, o mortals, to spoil your bodies with such impious food!'" ~ Ovid, Metamorphoses

“It is comforting to know that every day we are in contact with people who put such confidence in us that we strive harder to do our best. These are the ones that build people and there’s no job more fragile or creative than giving others confidence. No two people ever respond the same way, and since there can be very little trial and error in handling individuals, sensitivity to hurt and fear must be considered. Where one person can be challenged, another may need to be told how to rise above emotions and imagined shortcomings. The Cherokee, like so many others, appears composed or stoic, but his nature is sensitive to criticism in any form. We all need approval and attention, and when someone cares, it makes an important difference.”~ “A Cherokee Feast of Days: Daily Meditations” by Joyce Seqichie Hifler IP: Logged |
