Secrets of vitality

The primary means for assimilating the Life Force and


thereby experiencing high vitality are through lucid foods,
breath and calmness of mind.
1. This means that high quality (organic), fresh,
uncooked foods will be best for receiving the Life
Force through solid food, as this will have the highest
enzyme content, and thereby facilitate the digestive
process. All the metabolic processes in your body are
enzyme dependent. Thus, when you eat cooked
foods (dead, no live enzymes), the body has to work
much harder to produce more digestive enzymes in
order to properly assimilate the food, since it is not
getting any help from the food itself. To meet these
demands, the body has to decrease the production of
other enzymes needed to run its other metabolic
processes throughout the entire body, including
heart function. Over a period of time, the other
systems of the body become compromised and
disease results.
2. Deep breathing during the normal course of daily
activities and the practice of additional breathing
exercises as part of the exercise program will be best
for receiving the life Force throughout the breath.
3. Promoting harmony, balance, peace and relief of
stress will be best for receiving the Life Force through
the Astral Body (mind).

Preventing the loss of Vitality


It is important to promote these principles all the time
and to know how to handle the aspects of the personality,
especially the mind, to bring them back to a balance
quickly in order to prevent any serious or permanent
damage to the immune system. It is most important to
promote peace and harmony of mind. This can be
accomplished by the study and practice of the teachings
of mystical wisdom, developing dispassion, detachment
and equanimity in all activities and in all situations. The
following areas of life are to be monitored closely since
they are a primary means for loss of vitality.

Sources for loss of vitality from the human


personality
1. Agitated mind
2. Worry
3. Anxiety
4. Vain imaginations and fancies
5. Covetous nature

level for another 2-4 months before trying to go to the
next level.

according to the demands of your body. You may use

Guidelines for correct eating habits

Start the day with no breakfast but with coconut


water, or freshly juiced or powdered green drink, or
freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice with water
(bottled, from a pure source)
No overeating- eat when hungry only.
Food for the body: eat only a vegetarian diet, at least
50-80% raw fruits and vegetables
Ideally, eat one at a time alone- the stomach will
have an easier time digesting one kind of food at a
time. Otherwise ideally do not eat more than three
different items at one time.
Drink sufficient fruit juices throughout the day; water
consumption will decrease, as you will be getting
more liquid through the fruits, fruit juices and other
raw foods.
Ideally, do not drink when eating, and up to 1 hour
after.
Chew all food thoroughly, 30-50 times per mouthful
(drink your food- by proper mastication solid foods
should turn to liquids before being swallowed).
Yoga exercises daily.
Breathing exercises daily.
Sunbathing daily for 10-20 minutes.
Food for the mind: Attend lectures on high philosophy
and spiritual issues allows the mind to produce

positive impressions which will promote the flow of


the Life Forces (Sekhem) from circulating throughout
the body. Right action Being ethical and nonviolent conserves energy and promotes harmony.
Food for the soul: Practice of meditation daily
allowing quiet time for the mind so that one can
experience the glory of the eternal self within.
Use only starch free or reduced starch vegetables
when breaking the fast and thereafter.
Try to have no more than two major meals per day.
Do not eat at lunchtime simply because it is
lunchtime- eat when the body alerts you that there is
true hunger.
Due to the problem of over farming, which depletes
the land of its natural nutrients and thereby causes
crops to be nutrient poor, try to eat organic foods,
otherwise one may supplement the diet with
vegetarian vitamins (formulation especially designed
for people who practice vegetarianism) which may be
found at your local health food store.

Three states of consciousness and their


corresponding foods
Many people do not realize that what they consume has a
strong effect on their psyche. This implies not only foods
but all manner of consumption. Just as there are three
major states of relative consciousness, there are three
basic kinds of foods. This first group is composed of those
foods which engender restlessness, agitation and
distraction.
Ex: sugars, salty foods, dry foods, hot spices, coffee, fish,
poultry, eggs, etc.
These foods promote passion, stimulate the emotions and
excite the body. Also eating in a hurry promotes
restlessness and distraction. The second group is
composed of foods which promote dullness. This group
includes: meats, tobacco, alcohol, fermented foods, and
processed foods, stale or overripe foods.
These foods promote dullness of intellect, anger, hatred,
greed, volatility, negative thoughts, disease and clouded
reasoning ability. These foods are filled with negativity
due to the way in which they are handled in the food
processing system. The addition of unnatural chemicals
to food in and of itself is reason enough to classify them
as tainted with poison. The killing of animals effectively
poisons the food with negative hormones as well as fear
vibrations from the animals. Also the human digestive
tract is not designed to handle meat so the food rots as it
passes through the intestinal system, causing diseases

such as cancer. Is there any wonder why medical doctors


admonish those who contract cancer or experience heart
trouble to stop eating meat and to stop smoking?
Shouldnt they begin promoting a meat free diet for
everyone (including themselves) at an early age? If
smoking is known to produce cancer shouldnt it be
outlawed as are other addictive drugs? Poisons are sold
out of greed and ignorance. Also, such poisons are
consumed due to ignorance and addictive desire.
Dull foods are not good for the body or for the mind, but
much like the stimulating foods, they create and addictive
form of dependency wherein even when the person has a
full understanding of the deleterious effects of the foods,
he or she continues to consume them anyway using the
excuse well I want to enjoy my life even if I shorten it.
The weakened will disables a persons reasoning capacity
as well as their willpower to resist the urge for the foods.
Lucid foods are those which promote harmony, inner
mental peace, bright intellect, willpower, etc. They foster
purity of the mind as well as the body. They are nutritious
and enhance the bodys ability to fight off disease. Lucid
foods include: whole foods, cereals, fresh vegetables and
fruits, legumes, seeds, nuts, sprouted seeds, herb teas,
honey.
