No problemo, if there is such a thing as 'meatlessness.' Big if. Undeterminable. > There is no "going to heaven" if heaven is all around all the time > everywhere. Tell any fish to go to water.

This is the point of view taken by those who have a need for consistency, for something to identify with that is "countable on." There is something *else* which is consistent and "countable on." It's called change. There are many who feel that they can "put their money on" BOTH that which is changeless AND that which is ever-changing. BOTH are eternal, BOTH are *equally* the Absolute. Tantra is the path of embracing BOTH the Absolute, never-changing aspect of life AND the relative, ever-changing aspect of life. If you believe in a God, BOTH are equally God. If you don't, BOTH are equally eternity and "countable on." Some like to *believe* that preferring the never- changing to the ever-changing is the "best bet." But IMO it's really a process of REJECTING half of life. Life has two sides. BOTH are "countable on," and BOTH are "good bets." Tantra is a path for those who resonated with MMY's original 200% of life. Preferring the Absolute is for those who never believed it, and who always felt that there was something "wrong" or "lesser" about the relative. There isn't. There never was.
