Why So Difficult to Overcome Liquor,
Narcotics, Etc.
| The question has been repeatedly
asked: "Why is it so difficult to over
come the acquired habits of strong
drinks, such as Whiskey, Beer, etc.,
and the Use of Narcotics?
! Because the real self-the soul
energizing will cannot act effective
! Iy. Mans moral and soul-nature be-
comes affected. The man under
such influences is not normal; and
large number are really more or
| less obsessed.
These stimulants and narcotics
have a peculiar and evil effect on
the Pineal gland, and also the pitu-
ilary body, and really prevents the
awakening of the inner senses-the
real man. The effect is both physic-
al and psychic and in effect para
lives the real soul will force within
the man.
claimed that the seat of the Divine
soul, or the place where physical
being is joined to the Divine being
in us, is at the Pineal Gland, often
called the "Divine Eye"
A little clear thinking here will
explain why drugs of any name or
nature in these cases are CT no bene-
fit, but in the end produces evil re-
suits. Drugs in such cases can only
stimulate and benumb the Psychic
Life Force Centers.
This is deep occult truth. Not
all can comprehend this.
The chemical or drug cure, is now,
always has been, and always Will be
a failure. "The Gold Cure" Yes,
gold is the insidious foe of man; not
only in his pocket and heart, but his
BRAIN insanity may be the result
of injecting this gold-drug solution
into his blood stream, but not so by
injecting temperance, common sense
and living a natural whole-soul and
pure life.
The benumed, paralyzed man by
such drugging is not cured in any
true sense, but really on the true
ROAD 10 ueSJTuCllOu.
BY cleansing and purifying the
body so that the moral, mental and
educational nature of man can be
reached is the real-the only cure.
Let the individual come into pos
session of his senses so that he fully
understands for himself the true
nature of the evil, he will want no
more of it. Unmask the enemy SO
that the real soul-self can clearly
see and understand, he will make the
effort of his life to forever rid him
self of this evil enemy.
Each soul may eventually decide
for himself.
Plainly speaking, the individual
either wants liquor, stimulants and
narcotics or he does not want them.
If he does not want them, he has the
power within him to overcome and
to eradicate the cause and rid him
self of these habits, by cleansing the
temple (the body together with all
other destructive habits, and lusty
desires.
All these rest forever upon the
understanding and the will. The will
of man is really the epitome of his
power of mind force, or power of
action.
Let me further say that no cure
is complete and permanent that
fails to reach and change the soul
the real man.
The whole organism must be
cleansed, the impurities, poisons and
membranes in the body eliminat-
ed. The temple of the soul-self
cIeansed. Then the all-power soul
self becomes free to act and can
assert it's moral and Godpower ma
ture-he becomes free man.
These results can be obtained and
lastingly so if the person really de-
sires TO become free and whole. But,
at least with some who are more or
less under Karmic influences, it re-
quires all of man to overcome. All
IFS and Butts must be thrown over
board.
Then work in harmony with me
and results will come. In all SUCH
cases to obtain the best lasting re-
suits some fasting is necessary, and
the man must learn and understand
the use of the Psychic Rhythmic
Vital Breathing to clean the whole
man, together with other hysienic
agencies.
He will learn not to think of his
| body as himself. But on the other
hand he must learn and comprehend
that the body is an animal organism
which he holds, and he is to care for
because of it's usefulness in serving
| him.
Then the moral and spiritual ma
| ture of man will be on the throne,
