Knowledge about taht is absolute. I wonder why this is not generally understood, because between death and rebirth, people face problems and obstacles in their development caused by their meat eating.
Why does it (pain) not echo into life on earth?
Jan van Rijckenborgh (1896–1968), a Dutch gnostic and founder of the Lectorium Rosicrucianum, was associated with a lifestyle that included absolute vegetarianism.
This is related to the purification of human blood from coarser animal substances that dominate a person's mental and physical being.
The mystery of blood, the purification of blood is also known in high esoteric schools, both in Manchaism and Buddhism.
There are also more scientific definitions of the same subject, why vegetarianism is the cornerstone of progress on the path of spirituality.
The relation Is only properly understood when his relation to the other kingdoms of nature, and above all to the plant kingdom is borne in mind, according to Rudolf Steiner.
"The plant kingdom, as a kingdom of life, carries the inorganic, lifeless substances to a certain stage of organization. Now man is so organized physically that he can take up this process where the plant left it and carry it on further from this point, so that the human organization comes into being when man organizes further what the plant has already brought to a certain stage."
In an animal we have a living being which also carries on the process of organization further than the plant.
"Now suppose that a man eats the animal; it is not now necessary for him to exercise the inner forces he would have had to exercise if he had eaten a plant; for the animal has already carried its organization to a higher stage, and man need only begin at this point. Thus he lets the animal do part of the work that he would have had to do."
So now the well-being of an organism does not consist in its doing as little as possible, but in its really bringing all its forces into activity.
Thus when he eats animal flesh he chains within him forces which he would call upon if he ate plant food.
Through their condemnation to inactivity the organizations in question remain fallow, they are crippled and become hardened.
This he carries with him through life as a foreign body. In normal life he does not feel this; but when his organism becomes more inwardly mobile, as happens in anthroposophical life, said Steiner, his physical body begins to feel uncomfortable, because it has a foreign body in it.
"We are not promoting any special cause, but are only concerned with presenting the truth."
Yes, it is best when spiritual science leads a man to have a sort of disgust and loathing for animal food.
