Being vegan is a silent reflection of my spirituality. That's not to say that I am not at times vocal about my vegan stance - but I think of that as more of a ethical and health stance than spiritual. I feel very fortunate that my diet is health producing - because at a certain point in my life I could no longer be a participant within a circle of cruelty that began and ended with myself and an mindless appitite. My highest self demanded to be met with equal compassion and empathy by my very human self that was living this live of blind consumption. And when the two collide something has to give - and the will of spirit is unbending when fully confronted. I changed. Slowly (and at times not so slow) I became the person who would put aside his taste for flesh and instead choose (healthier) his meal with a higher intent. My life - spiritualy, health wise, ethically - has become immeasuralbly richer with every meal choosen thus. In this way - my life has become my message.
Peace,
Eric
