This allows those words to mean something. If you simply change the definition to suit your interpretation, the word is meaningless. Do you understand? Your buddy spoke of eating sentient food. This means meat. If you have a problem with that, take it up with the guy who said to eat sentient food. Your lack of education is not my problem, it's yours. And you cannot solve it by posting two paragraphs of meaningless drivel that doesn't address the problem, which is that your boy thinks auras can be made and seen by eating meat.
What you find in the dictionary is not what come from personal experience and from PRACTICAL experience.
Ton, you live in a world of pure fantasy.
Definition of words well before they come printed in a dictionary come from a cultural system build over hundred if not thousand of years like in this case about the word sentient.
The words sentient, tamasic and rajasic have been used for thousand of years in the eastern religions and yoga and they just mean good, bad and in between good and bad.
These meanings are the real meaning followed by not few hundred or thousand people like in the case of the dictionary but by MILLIONS of people around the world (Hindus, Buddhist, yoga etc).
All you can find in the dictionary is none but a vandalize meaning of their original meaning.
The original meaning originate thousand years ago in the Indian subcontinent not in London or NY where the dictionaries are printed.
Just go among the millions of people that know the real meaning of this world and try to sell your dictionary version of the word sentient.
They will spit in your face.
