Polarity Diet

eating and drinking? However, in mental and emotional upsets, we do not think it out of place to resort to psychiatry in an endeavor to solve the troubles resulting from our habits of indulgence. Even this approach does not explain the "why" of a certain craving, but endeavors to change the thought pattern.

In this newly-found explanation of mind as the neuter [neutral] pole of all matter, we bring the two factors to the surface as POLARITY ATTRACTION. Mind patterns always have motives or objectives for their drives. It is either possession, enjoyment or mastery over certain things to which this energy expenditure is geared. The after-effects of these impulses are usually the pains and distresses for which remedies are sought outside of the field of causes.

Simplicity of diet and restriction in quantity and selection is a touchy subject for the doctor to broach to successful business men or women who enjoy eating and drinking as a satisfaction in keeping with their position in life. To even mention physical health through simplicity of diet is often impossible. Yet faulty diet habits are contributing factors in many diseases.

Suffering makes the mind small and willing to do anything for the relief of the pain as long as it lasts. And the very food or drink which causes the pain because of over-indulgence, may be repellent - even as a thought - in the time of suffering from the results, but not after that. Is this not reversed polarity in action? Should we consider it as punishment or merely as a correction of natural forces in action? Whichever view we take, Polarity is the one factor around which all this attraction spins; in the first place as over-indulgence; in the second place as reaction of forces in the system in an effort to right itself.

Is dis-ease [disease] a corrective effort of Nature, or a punishment which we must escape somehow? Do we ever escape our thoughts or our weaknesses by travel or by runnnig [running] away from responsibility? Should the good doctor help Nature in its polarizing effort, or oppose and suppress those corrective forces at work with chemistry? These are the problems of our times. The answers lie in the energy field of Nature and in man. The constitution of neither is changed to favor anyone.

Nature has five fields or patterns of manifestation which we know as Creation. The five fields are: Etheric, Airy, Fiery, Watery and Earthy. The one central energy or river of life which is the etheric force, flowing out of the etheric realm of Paradise, is the neuter [neutral] balancing unit force. It is represented by the central core of the body; namely, the brain and the spinal cord and the thumbs and big toes. (Explained in book I.) We are told that this river splits into four heads. Similarly, the four sensory and motor currents flowing over the four fingers on each hand and the four toes of each foot are polarized and sustained in action by the sum total of the neuter [neutral] current flowing over them and supporting and co-ordinating their action.

Nature splits this central energy field into four heads of manifestation in the outside world:

1 - The first river is the air, the breath of life and the gases it contains, like oxygen, which makes life possible on earth.

2 - The next is the fire of life and warmth, supplied by the sun and embodied in fuel in the earth.

3 - The third is the water principle [water element]^[1] of fluidity and hydrogen which constitutes about three-fifths of the earth's surface, as seas and rivers.
