1.Developingyourvitality
Thisisthebasicprinciple:youmustmakeeveryefforttokeepyourbodyhealthyandtolead afitandhealthylife.Infact,thefirst mission oftheInitiatedisto free theirbodyfrom anythingthatcanimprisonit(forexample:illness,pain,tiredness). ThisissothatyoucanexperienceTHEPOWEROFBEING. Andthisiswhereyoumustbegin,sinceitisalsothemostfundamentalpartofyou. Youshouldunderstandthatyourbodyistheexpressionofyourlife;yourbodyisyourBible, yourencyclopaedia,yourlifehistory.Infact,everythingthathappenstoyouisinsomeway recorded andreflectedbyyourbody. Wisdomiswrittenintoyourbodyineachofthecellsthatcomposeitandthiswisdom, whichcomesfromthedivinecreation,isINFINITE.Yourbodyknowsthisinstinctively;it feels itsdivineorigins. Thecloserelationshipbetweenyourinnerlife(yourmoods,frameofmind,psychological disposition,mentalattitudes,thoughts,emotions)andyourbodyisindivisible,inevitableand unavoidable. Inotherwords,themarriagebetweenbodyandmindcanNEVERendindivorce. Butforthismarriagetobehappyandsuccessful,youmustrespecttheneedsofyourbody, lookafteritandloveitlikeafriend,yourbestfriend. Thewaytoachievefulfilmentbeginswiththebody.Itisonlywhenyoureally inhabit your bodythatyoucanbeginthejourneythatleadstooutwarddevelopment,abundanceand happiness. BEING(whichissynonymouswithexistence,energyandvitality)meansthatyourmind inhabitsyourbodycompletely,thatyour self occupiesallthespaceduetoitwithinyour body. Haveyounoticedhowmanypeopletherearewhoarenotintheirbody,whoarenot at home, whodonotexperiencetheirbodyinthepresent? Thegreatmajorityofpeoplelivealongsidethemselves,intheirhead,intheirmemories,in theirfutureprojects,andignoretheneedsoftheirbody,ratherlikeabsenteelandlords. Themainreasonforthisisthatmanypeopleleadasedentarylife,an illness thatinvolves spendingmostoftheirtimesittingorlyingdown,withouttakingphysicalexercise,without themovementthatiscrucialtomaintainingphysicalandmentalvitality.
