Digestion & the Fiery Energy

arise from the backwash, but from the total in the pipes. We are prone to put too much emphasis on the material solid evidence and too little on the blocked energy field and blocked current flow which is the real cause of the physical stagnation.

Energy, when turned on, can move any amount of bulk. But mere bulk can move nothing. And still the quantity impresses us more than the quality of the evidence! Our experience with atomic forces will change all our material viewpoints in time. If we want to be in the advance guard of progress, there is no time like NOW! As we sow, so we reap.

It will be helpful to understand a little more about our digestion, as faulty digestion is responsible for the excess gases and much ill health. Digestion is a fire which consumes material. In the mythologies of the Norsemen, the earth was considered a huge body, and in the abdomen, or in the bowels of the earth, lived the god Vulcan, who was a fire God.^[1] He had a smithy and a forge in that hot place in the middle of the earth, where he forged the chains for those condemned by the gods. It is an interesting story when we consider the import of what these myths are trying to tell us in the form of symbols and stories. Can we read what is written therein for our benefit? Man forges many chains of ills with his own knife and fork at the dining table; and how compelling are the bonds of sickness.

"Those whom the gods condemned" implies those who disregard the wisdom of the laws of life, the purpose higher than mere indulgence of the appetites and the senses. Those lacking in intelligent self-control become victims of indulgence and are bound by their own limitations, created in the depths of their own nature. Energies become bonds when stagnant, blocked, or when reversed through our own improper use or abuse. Such is the story our Norse ancestors left in their archives for the benefit of those who wish to profit thereby.

¹ Vulcan is the Roman god of fire and smithing. Surtr is the Norse fire god, possibly appearing in earlier stories as a volcano demon. While there is no smithing god per se in Norse mythology, there are several legendary smiths who figure into the stories of the gods, including Brokkr and Wayland.
