&lt;p&gt;      Hi SherryJ ~ &amp;nbsp;I hadn&amp;#39;t heard of &lt;em&gt;Serving Humanity&lt;/em&gt; but would suggest that you place this in &lt;a href="http://groups.gaia.com/gaia_books"&gt;Books&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and on your home page on interests. &amp;nbsp;Once you do that you can push the link on your page &amp;amp; find others that have read it. &amp;nbsp;You can put a review on it there as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found a website&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://masterdk.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://masterdk.com/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and found the &lt;a href="http://atlanteanlore.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Atlantean lore site&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;I found &lt;a href="http://www.akashicstudies.com/akashic.html" target="_blank"&gt;Akashic Records&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp; chose that site. I recommend finding words in &lt;a href="http://www.onelook.com/" target="_blank"&gt;onelook&lt;/a&gt; giving an array of dictionaries but do understand that to gain the clarity from that book the awareness is probably different after 10 years. I don&amp;#39;t have that sort of discipline myself, but respect those that do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;noun&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;A vegetarian who does not eat any animals, but does eat eggs and dairy products.&lt;br /&gt;We don&amp;#39;t have a current topic going on here but on this &amp;quot;room&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://groups.gaia.com/integralvegan/conversations/room/8689"&gt;Integral Veg*n Posts&lt;/a&gt;, pick any topic from here... even if its on the bottom and they are relevant to have chats on over and over.&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for coming here &amp;amp; I look forward to talking to you more.&lt;br /&gt;To healthy eating &amp;amp; enlightenment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I am a new member &amp;amp; a lacto-ova vegetarian for the second time in my life (this time forever - I am 56).&amp;nbsp; Has anyone read Serving Humanity by The Tibetan Dwjal Khul?&amp;nbsp; He states that per Atlantean lore, one must be a vegetarian at least 10 years in order to read the Akashic Record without error.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Love, Sherry &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I have a question -is this group like the other Integral groups on Gaia? [only] For those who read Ken Wilber&amp;#39;s and related works? I was wondering at the name. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Hello,&amp;nbsp; My name is Mary, aka Mother Mary here on Gaia. I give more of an intro in the discussion &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;quot;how long?&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; A little fyi~i share about being vegetarian on my &lt;a href="http://maryrives.gaia.com/profile"&gt;profile&lt;/a&gt; at the bottom.&amp;nbsp; I look forward to connecting with other like-minded folks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that it is Thanksgiving week &amp;amp; turkeys are being consumed my the multi-millions, I shudder at the thought, but am so thankful that there are so many more of us vegetarians &amp;amp; vegans!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I have little tradition here at ZNG I am continuing. Please see the poster below that was made by Native Americans for this take on and feeling about the holiday. Thing is, I really like Thanksgiving because of the spirit of unity behind it, yet I abhor the lies perpetuated about our true history. Feel free to copy and paste this anywhere! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Hi Denim,&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Welcome to Gaia and a veggie-life! I&amp;#39;m glad you found good info here. Also, congratulations to you. That is very exciting. A world of deliciousness awaits you :)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I found becoming vegetarian inspired me to expand my diet and try new things. I discovered many wonderful foods I&amp;#39;d never tried on the standard American diet. And I felt so good because I knew I was living in more alignment with my values. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; By the way, I just opened an &lt;a href="http://pods.gaia.com/integralvegan/discussions/view/359007#359007"&gt;Introductions board&lt;/a&gt; for our Group. You can reply to this &lt;a href="http://pods.gaia.com/integralvegan/discussions/view/359007#359007"&gt;post there&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;

Your blog is fantastic!&lt;br /&gt;I think it is so important for people to learn about being vegetarian and know the facts. I truly believe that a trend towards a vegetarian/ plant-based diet is the best thing we can do for the Planet; and, the statistics and research support that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recently attended a lecture about vegetarianism by the owner of &lt;a href="http://www.zenpalate.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Zen Palate&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.zenburger.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Zen Burger&lt;/a&gt;, two vegetarian restaurant chains in New York City. He said that 50% of the water supply is used for farm animals and 80% of agricultural land. And, animal agriculture causes an estimated &lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/environment/article/0,28804,1602354_1603074_1603171,00.html" target="_blank"&gt;18% of greenhouse gas&lt;/a&gt;, which is 40% more than all transport combined. So, a vegetarian diet would help the earth a lot more than even hybrid cars. &lt;a href="http://jessica.gaia.com/blog/2007/4/are_you_green_and_how_so"&gt;Here&amp;#39;s a blog&lt;/a&gt; I wrote a while back with some more links and resources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, he said that a cow gets approximately 1000 shots in its lifetime before it is slaughtered, and we consume the stuff it was injected with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://starfinder.gaia.com/"&gt;Cindy&lt;/a&gt; said Oct 31, 2:05 PM:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m fairly new too, both to Gaia and to veganism, and I&amp;#39;m really happy to have found this pod&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pods.gaia.com/trust/demote/discussion/357897" title="I didn&amp;#39;t like it."&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                                        &amp;nbsp;                       &lt;a href="http://simpleandbasic.gaia.com/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;              &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Re: Hello         &lt;a href="http://simpleandbasic.gaia.com/"&gt;Denim&lt;/a&gt; said Oct 31, 11:16 PM:&lt;br /&gt;Hello to everyone!&lt;br /&gt;I still consider myself new to Gaia as well and definately new to a meat free diet&#8230;I have been enjoying the older threads on here&#8230;lots of information so far.&lt;br /&gt;Denim &lt;/p&gt;
