Above a man's existence is awareness that filters into the brain. With the mind one becomes aware of a body. Actually, the mind made the body (with God's help) because it needs a place to hide from pain. And therefore it is responsible for the condition of the body. If the mind is mixed up, the body is mixed up too. A change of body has to start in the mind. As the mind becomes whole again, the old body falls away. When there is right instruction from above, the mind will take the lead and the body will change to a higher form. It will escape the ``trap of earth.''
What is the right kind of food for the body? It can only be a food that has living cells, as found in fresh fruits. It maintains a clear thinking mind and keeps the body healthy. All other foods taken in come as a suggestion of an evil source and drug the brain. Foods that are destroyed by fire (cooking) act as a drug and the mind cannot think clearly. The proteins in meats and dairy products putrefy in the intestines, they give up the acids to the blood which carries it to every cell in the body. It courses through the brain and drugs it with the same force as any other acid would do. Man eats carbohydrates as found in breads and potatoes that ferment in the body which produces alcohol that narcotizes the mind. Earth sure is a dangerous place and few there are that see it.
Destroyed cells are heavy with matter, and like everything dead that is eat, poison the body. It has to be expelled at the cost of vital energy. Only living food produces healthy body functions and keeps all parts of the brain working harmoniously.
Humankind is kept alive by a fear for the death of their bodies. A wrong voice is saying, ``save your physical body and take the medicine!'' The higher voice syas: ``you don't have to compromise to keep your body alive.'' To goad the body into health is to lose the soul. Only God gives life. Investigate for yourself what life is all about!
All humans can be divided into two groups, those that worship their bodies and hang on to it all cost, and those that strive for detachment, not knowing what comes next. It is not the physical death that is at stake, it is spiritual death that is the real tragedy. Therefore, it is proper to save the soul and let a false life fall away.
The lower body consists of:
To close your life to foolish conduct deserves integrity. Do the exercise to never discuss ``lower body'' desires. A mature man does not insist on keeping an open mind, he closes it to anything vulgar and which promotes lowness. He works on closing off the exit to his lower body. In contrast, a fanatic mind has locked himself tightly inside of it, unable to escape.
If all of this makes sense to you, ``Do Nothing but see it.'' This invites rescue. It comes like a gushing well that is reviving a garden. This is the only correct science because it is a renewal of life.
The way out begins with this statement: ``he who indulged in wrongness until he has become sick must withdraw from it until he is well again.'' Every healing starts with a withdrawal from destructive habits which were devised to suppress pain. Do not run away from God any longer, but face the habit's uncomfortableness. Remaining with withdrawal pain brings more suppressed pain to the surface. But when it is not freshly subdued bu suffered until release from a higher source has arrived, healing occurs.
But old habits are not easily forgotten and pull the student back into their power again. Luckily, due to his attained healing, the student has become sensitive to pain again like a child when given alcohol. He has become acutely sensitive to the new pain. As a matter of fact, a fresh indulgence will multiply the pain. This is just what he needs to keep clean. And now he is destined to wake up healed. With this struggle a higher life is attained that will never make him go downwards again.
