food. The mind constantly
builds new body with new ma
terial. This body represents your
mental attitude. Quoting from
mind the Builder" by A. A.
Lindsay, M. D.:
''In all forms of buildings in
the world there are definite plans
except in the instance of man
himself. In body, mind and char
acter he is left to haphazard. In
all his phases he just looks to be
what he is, pieced out. We have
all seen different sorts of struc-
lures where a workman or set
of workmen did some construct
ing and through disagreement,
Encouragement or disgust quit.
l have seen this in buildings, in
sculpture and painting, and know
of it in canal, bridge and dam
construction, and railways; also
in educational systems from kin
dergarten, cooking, sewing and
mechanical arts to the literary
departments and professions; and
whether it were things that were
to take form in material or men
tai, they did not appeal to Our re-
spect, but called forth ridiculc, for
there were no definite designs,
but each builder built after his
own notion of convenience and
made a poor splice. When real
order is introduced, it was usual
to have detailed, definite designs
that could not continue even on
foundation that began in hap
hazard"
The first stage of digestion be-
gins in the mouth. Therefore it
is very important to masticate
every mouthful of food thorough
ly before swallowing. The
stomach takes charge of the sec
ond stage of digestion, where the
food should mix perfectly with
the gastric juices. Here through
a chemical process of nature it is
transformed into blood and car
ried to different portions of the
body, where it is changed into
solid tissue through the process
called assimilation.
When the stomach performs its
function properly, the skin is
clear, the cheeks rosy, the eyes
are bright and the hair is lux
urious and glossy. A sort of a
"life is worth living" vibration
radiates from the individual that
is commonly called personal
magnetism" This force can be
controlled and strengthened by
right thinking, until it becomes
SO strong that through its normal
use we are enabled to ward off
disease and in every way improve
upon the model bestowed upon
us by nature.
Quoting from Occult Science
in Medicine" by Franz Hartman.
M. D.:
That which nourishes a thing
goes to make up it's substance.
The physical body receives its
nutriment from the physical
plane, the soul is nourished by
influences coming from the soul
of the world, the intellect is nour-
ished, grows and expands in the
intellectual plane; an ill-ed body
becomes diseased soul living ON
morbid desires and inordinate
longings becomes depraved,
mind fed with false theories, er-
rors and superstitions becomes
dwarfed, perverted and unable to
turn its face toward the sunlight
of truth.
"The food for soul and mind is
as substantial to them as material
food is substantial to the mate
rial body; body, soul and Spirit
being three states of the eternal
One, manifested on three differ
ent planes of existence, being
governed by only one fundament-
al law. What the stomach is in
the body, the memory is in the
mind. Both are related together !;
a dyspeptic stomach causes de-
fective memory and an irritable
mind; an irritable temperament
causes indigestion and forgetful-
ness; forgetfulness can cause in
attention, irritability and dys-
pepsia.
"Soul, body and mind are one
in man, and disorders existing in
one can cause impurities in the
other; each passion in man, each
superstition in which he firmly
believes, is capable of poisoning
his body and of producing a GER
tain disease. A belief in saliva
ton made easy renders a man in
dolent. Incidence causes want
of self-control, which causes want
of resistance to injurious infu-
ences in the physical plane. Re-
peated physical misfortunes may
make man coward, and his
coWardlineSS often prevents him
