food vibrations, andswhen one puts himself
on a diet for a certain purpose he accom-
plishes his aim in much less time and more
successfully by taking this into account.
The truth is the therapeutic value OF
thought. as for instance Of cheer and good
feeling, is not surpassed by the influence
Of the sun, and there is nothing which may
be depended on SO surely to correct sur
Rlusage Of malign vibrations, even when
they are an inheritance.
1T is equally a fact that consciously
directed thought Ia no less a power in en-
phasizing the vibrations set up by the
chemical action Of food. Let him who
doubts his observe for himself and he will
be convinced"
IL was further asserted that much illness
has its source in the conflict set up by eat
ing foods which are antagonistic in their
vibrations, since ultimately they throw out
OF adjustment the physical machine and
completely disorder the equilibrium within
the body. A great variety Of food eaten
at one time tends TO this, and when one
eats food calculated. to stimulate physical
activity and is engaged in work which
taxes the mind only he sets in operation
opposing forces which are certain, to work
him woe.
Retaining food in the mouth until it
becomes t~asteless tends, it ia stated, to
unity vibrations. This is considered the
chief reason why to eat deliberately is
especially conducive to good health, since
the chemical action Of what is eaten then
becomes nearly synchronous and facili-
tstes rhythmic equilibrium in the body.
Vibrations, it il said, like muscles must
be put In training to insure good results.
Some little time before work Is to be I'M
dertsken one should, according to the
tenets Of this cult, begin to diet for the
results he desires to gain, since the effect
Of food vibrations is cumulative rather
than immediate.
Still it is said that results are often noted
in a very shor time, especially when a
radical change OF diet is ~inaugurated.
When n has, for instance, been eating
food that controls the activity Of the mind
and changes TO a diet of red meats pro-
nounced inclination to indulge in physical
activity is often at once noted.
Nuts and other foods rich in oils are also
said to produce quick results. as they supply
carbon. which furnishes a motive power
that quickens and increases energy through
out the body.
That eating food with reference to vibra-
tons, and with thought directed to the
result desired. will eliminate a craving for
alcoholic and other stimulants is another
assertion made by those who hold that food
vibrations are, in their way. as important a
power as any in nature.
Also, it is held that a change of diet, with
reference to the vibrations. greatly en-
hances efficiency. That is, after a brain
workev has prepared himself by a course
Of diet for his work and continued it. for
some time. he should not go on indefinitely
with either the work or the diet. but should
lay aside the one and change the. other.
II il explained that by following this
course the different centres are rested and
the result is much the same az when plants.
by artificial means. are for a time held in "a
quiescent state. NJ. Leblanc and others
have demonst rated that when Towering
plants are forced to rest by being chlOrO-
formed. they bloom sooner and produce
finer flowers than those allowed to grow in
the usual way.
As illustrating in a large way the effect Of
food vibrations. attention was called to the
peculiarities OF different nations and what
they eat.
Taking England. it was pointed out that
the patience. strength and force OF the OK
ave ever distinguished, and been the
source OF the triumphs, Of that beef eating
people. The French. who eat. though spar
ingly. OF everything the earth affords. are as
merclrial as their food il varied.
The Russian peasant, who lives on
food which neither in substance nor prep
aration makes any appeal to the higher
vibrations, is slow. heavy and utterly un-
able to comprehend any method OF meeting
injustice save by a more violent wrong.
The Hindu, living without change on
small quantities of such foods as stimulate
religious IL a dreamer, since
from lack of sustenance and use the centres
controlling the physical activity are afro
phied. h Japanese, on the other hand,
who have deep knowledge as to food
values, have the endurance and brain
activity which the foods they eat would
naturally insure.
In addition TO other things the food vi
bration cult insists that all that is eaten
should be very carefully prepared. Since
this seems to give the cook more vantage
han she already has, it would be lament
able did the teachers OF the cult not add
that the vibrations OF unoooked food are
much stronger than those of cooked food
and that a certain proportion Of uncooked
food should be used daily. This and keep
ing the thought throttle open and holding
the will directed and steady will, it is
averred. produce results such as the most
sceptical must admit after a little obser-
walton.
1t is confidently asserted that when a
knowledge of the power of food vibrations
becomes general women will teach their
children what to eat to secure certain re-
suits. Then, il Ia affirmed, it will be no
longer the rand that rocks the cradle but
the one that makes the menu which will
rule the world.
1t is predicted that when this comes to
pass men will live to a great age, many
things now eaten will not be thought fit
for food, illness will be rare and all work
will be done with so much greater ease that
leisure will be at the command Of all.
