Physical Evolution I) Purification: Fasting In the same manner as man builds for himself a new house, brings down the old one and lays strong foundations to build with new materials, first clean your body of every accumulated putrescence in order to build for yourselves a new body which will be a fitting temple for the Spirit. Fast. Choose a day out of seven in which you'll just nourish yourself with the food of the spirit and nature's vital force will eliminate from your body every undesirable thing. Moreover, if you wish to cleanse every part of your body, fast for seven days, but seek the assistance of someone with more experience. And you will see how all putrefactions, abominations and
illnesses that affect you leave your body. When you fast like this, even
the dense vibrations of astral matter will be eliminated, purifying your
more subtle bodies as well. And when the temple has been thus purified,
you'll build a new one made with noble materials, a worthy dwelling for
the Lord of the Temple.
But man is not to be a slave of the beast he carries within. He is to be its lord and master. Overcome the gluttony that makes your body denser, gradually simplifying your foods. Abstain from alcohol and tobacco because they don't only damage your dense body, but also the more subtle ones and this damage continues beyond death. In addition, don't allow lust to enslave you and to steal your vitality because you may lose it. Don't be like the tree whose trunk doesn't make use of its sap and dries up without giving fruit. Seek to unite with your complement only as an expression of a pure feeling rather than for a simple instinct that degrades the act. Man perverts his creative impulse to a level that is even lower than a beast's instinct since the beast copulates during the mating season to procreate. Transmute sexual energy towards the intellect, dedicating
your spare time to the arts and to study. Move into a more profound Feeling,
sublimating your sensuality into goodness and tenderness towards all which
surrounds you, that is, towards spirituality, channeling your energies
into meditation and elevated ideas. II) Renovation: Nourishment Your dense body is constantly renovating itself. With the material you provide to it, you can build yourself a new body. Provide gold to your nature and she will build with gold. Provide lead to her and she will build with lead. Provide decomposing meats or exciting and aggressive substances to her and your nature, as well as your physical appearance, will be of like kind.
You are not supposed to kill either beast or man, not even for the nourishment that goes through your mouth, because by doing it, you won't obtain life but instead death and also assume a debt that you'll have to pay in accordance with the Law in relation to the Animal Kingdom, which is fraternal to your kingdom. For this reason, you'll spill blood in wars and in fraternal struggles, just as you spill blood in animal slaughterhouses. When the lust for meat stirs inside of you, remember those decapitated heads with their popped eyes belonging to the corpses whose meat is rotting inside your stomach. Remember the rivers of blood that coagulate in the slaughterhouses and drip away from the hanging rows of carcasses. Learn to see beyond the appearance of a sybaritic, luxurious dinner table, the masked presence of guts and mutilated cadavers. Remember the millions of microscopic worms that move about in the meat you consume, emitting the fetid, rotting stench of death disguised with spices. Think about the terror and suffering experienced by your smaller brothers when being sacrificed by whom should be their brotherly relative. Remember all of this always and provide your nature with pure nourishment from Mother Earth, the nourishment that is watered by rain and seasoned by the Sun. Give to your dense body the generous fruit that comes from the land and therefore nourish it with the pure energy that will give it life. Feed it as well with unburned and uncombined foods because that which is simple and natural is best. Also, be frugal in your feeding habits so that that which is dense doesn't lock in that which is subtle. Furthermore, don't ingest your foods when negative thoughts and lower emotions perturb you because, in this way, you poison both your food and your body. When you eat, do it slowly, as if praying, breathing slowly and deeply so that all the essence of the food goes into your body. Absorb the vitality of water which is a life source and
purifies your body. Breath in deeply the hidden energy which is found
in the air of open spaces and the countryside, the energy that emanates
from the Sun for the benefit of all Earth creatures. Know that Man doesn't
just nourish himself from dense foods but also from the subtler energies
found in water, the air and the rays of the Sun. III) Preservation: a natural lifestyle
Keep your body active and, by doing so, the internal vital energy will flow freely and will be channeled throughout the organism along the energy centers both in the dense and etheric bodies. Throughout the day, always keep the spine straight in order for the energy from the air and from the earth to flow through it. In this way, your emotional state will tend to be in harmony with the state of the body. Remember that your body was born from Mother Earth, as your spirit was born from the Creator Father. Therefore, live in the bosom of your mother by following the laws of Mother Nature and she will take care of you, you will not know illness and you will be on the good path related to Physical Evolution. "Then, there will be a balance in your dense plane and, therefore, a firm base for the work of the Spirit."
