If you don’t believe or aren’t even curious about reincarnation then the premise of this post wouldn’t relate to you. Carry on and keep scrolling.

Hi this is me sniffing a Sagebrush. My name is Mai and I eat meat. It’s not something I’m fondly proud of, it’s something that I’ve come to terms with in this phase of my incarnation. It’s something that I now honor. To get here, took a lot of inner work. I once felt major feelings of guilt and shame every time I re-start to eat meat, I still do occasionally. In the past I’ve tried to go fully vegetarian then vegan, then vegetarian for years going back and forth, and then eating meat again. I was doing it as it is what society tells you the “right” thing to do is, especially in the spiritual or health communities. While it is the right thing for some, it is my belief that it isn’t for everyone. Just like having a spiritual practice, or to have/not have children. Under the same umbrella, imposing our beliefs unto other people isn’t the best way to go around because it actually repels most. If I were to forcibly tell an atheist plant-based eater that it’s absolutely a must to have a spiritual practice to evolve their spirit to add richness and meaning to their life, I can imagine how they might react. Same goes to telling others about ideas of meat consumption, just because it works for some. I’m guilty of all of this, as I am someone having strong opinions and convictions myself. My tongue had sharp edges, delivering my “newly found truths” with zero compassion, to everyone, masquerading it as the way and only way, and then coming to find higher truths only to disseminate my previous beliefs. I now strive to practice what I believe in and only if anyone asks, I tell them my story, I share my journey, and perhaps share some of my learnings to help them with their work. I hope that they do not find the need to replicate but only be merely inspired, and honor their own sacred individual journey, as it is truly magical.

I find myself slipping back into eating meat, more recently as I physically feel better when it is a part of my diet, perhaps a few to several meals per week. This is not to say that animal welfare is taken to the side because of my own “needs” of feeling better as a human. The meat source is to be highly considered, and this is not to say that I am practicing this 100% but it is something that I strive for. I honor my journey with the efforts that I can currently practice within my means. I have come to conclude that my relationship and intention with what I ingest is far more reaching. Health wise, the feelings of guilt and shame attached to the food as it negatively affects one’s body is far more worst than the food itself. I am grateful for every taste of what is offered to me, all the while, striving to be a better human in ways I can without it feeling forced.

The esoteric principle behind the foundation of this belief, what I’ve found is that all souls that decide to come to Earth does so to learn and grow and ultimately becoming a perfect soul to re-join the Source. With that, I now know that not all souls are in the same level of advancement. All souls will ultimately become perfect, the duration to get there does vary and take thousands and thousands of years of incarnations. Learning to outgrow fear-based emotions such as envy, hate, shame, guilt, anger, jealousy, toxic pride, and greed is why we’re on Earth to outlearn and purify. We need not to judge these feelings as they come up, but to honor them and purify them for that is the only way to get out of these patterns. With each lifetime, my soul decided on what lessons I am here to learn. The purpose of having numerous lifetimes is to learn and purify all negative constructs and tendencies of our once young soul. We can’t learn everything and be a perfect soul in one lifetime, it’s impossible. It goes to show that when we’re imposing our beliefs and views unto other people, we are forcing them to learn what our Soul is here to learn, completely neglecting their journey and what they are here to learn, which is all inherently sacred. I may be here in this lifetime to learn to shed jealousy and pride while someone else is here to learn compassion. I am learning to practice honoring everyone’s sacred journey, letting go of judgment, including judgment I have for my own self.

If anyone wants to further discuss where these beliefs are stemming from, I can talk. It’s truly exciting that these findings are from scientific origins, as it was able to persuade my mostly analytical/logical brain (INTP). With any new finding, I put it to test and if it adds value to my life and boosts inner peace, then these beliefs is fully accepted by me and is here to stay.🧠🫀✨

I’m also not here to tell you this is how it is, My proposal is for you to question what always has been and seek answers for yourself. Why not explore all that could possibly be? and how it could help you out in this sacred journey called Life. Not just to be a better person, but also to feel better in your own skin and truly live a life of inner peace. With every breath, being Peaceful, Grateful, and Loveful. You will be able to walk through hellish situations, unscathed, with grace. Honor your Divinity. It’s there for you to claim. Sending all of you all my Love.🧡
