I have abstained from meat twice for 1,5 years. It's not clear what exactly I gained from it, though I certainly have not regretted doing it. I think that during these periods I was relatively more vulnerable, but then again other coinciding events may have influenced that. If I had to decide I?d say it does have an effect on consciousness.

If you like it, it isn't mortification :grin:

Personally, I don't believe there is anything useful to be gained by taking on artificial suffering, or denying the realities of the flesh. How can producing more suffering reduce the total amount of suffering in the world?

On the other hand, I feel that voluntarily enduring pain or hunger can be very useful to teach the body that suffering and pain are two different things, and that the link between them can be broken, even if it takes years of practice. Whether this truly is mortification is debatable.
