PRESENT YOUR BODIES IN A LIVING SACRIFICE,

HOLY, AND PLEASING TO GOD

 

The Master said:

 

A time has come for the contemporary world to study the human body, and then a social science will be constructed according to the needs of the people. The Writ says, "Present your bodies in a living sacrifice, sacred, and pleasing to God". The Writ also says that the body is a temple of God, which means that you shall enter inside that temple and shall learn. Christians do not yet study in that temple and remain ignorant.

 

The waist has to be rather narrow, and when doubled has to give the breadth of the shoulders. And if the breadth of the hand by the wrist is doubled, it has to give the breadth of the neck.

 

When man is with his shoulders lifted up, it shows that he is wondering what to do. He is like a plant that is young, aspires upwards, but hesitates. And when the shoulders are directed downwards, the person compares himself with an old tree that is tall; he feels strong and looks down with a high opinion of himself. And when the shoulders are horizontal, it is a good sign and shows that the person is on the equator, in equilibrium. The distance from the navel to the end of the hands, which are lifted above the head, is equal to the distance from the navel to the end of the feet.

 

The head constitutes the capital investment, the face represents the capital in currency, and the hand shows the profit. The mind is the physical side of the Divine world, the brain is a physical side of the mind, and the human head is a result of the human Spirit. The soul works through the heart, and the Spirit - through the mind. The lungs are the result of the human soul, and the stomach is the physical man. In the forms of the body, where it is protuberant, the pressure is from the inside, and where it is concave, the pressure is from the outside.

 

In phrenology, the Americans and the English came to a boundary, where they stopped; from there on they need new horizons and intuition. Contemporary physiognomists have no maxims about when the face is normal, they do not know what the measures are. There are rules at what length the nose has to have such and such breadth. When the nose is broader, the feelings prevail, and when it is longer and narrower, the mind prevails.

 

Figure 9

 

When a part of the brain has been active and functioning, there the skull's bone has become thin, and vice versa. Let us examine the human head (see Figure 9). The worldly abilities are placed below, the spiritual ones - higher up, and the mental and the Divine ones - at the top of the head. A person is pleasant to you, because in him is developed the centre of justice ©, or the centre of clemency, which is on the top of the head, slightly to the front (B), or the centre of Love towards God, which is on the top of the head (A). The centre of music is behind the outer end of the eyebrows and up along the brow (D). The centre of prudence (E), the centre of intuition (F), and the centre of imagination (G) are on the upper part of the brow. The centre of greed is behind the ears and slightly to the front (H). The centre of individuality is between the eyebrows (J). On both sides of the brow is the centre of causality (K), and between the two centres of causality is the centre of comparison, slightly above the centre of the brow (L).

 

Generals have a broad head, their eye does not blink in danger; if a person has a narrow head, no general can come out of him. When the head is concave at the top, this shows a poorly developed religious feeling. Let us say that you have inherited from your father a broad head and that is why you flare up; then you shall send energy and blood towards your brow and towards the upper part of the head.

 

In Boston, the daughter of a rich American fell in love with a lad. Her father sent the portrait of the lad to a phrenologist, who told him not to give his daughter to that man, because he would kill her. And the father did not marry his daughter to him. The same lad married to another woman and after a year he killed her.

 

A brother wished: "Tell us something about the hair."

 

When one's hair sticks up, this man looks like a cornfield, the ears of which are empty and stuck up. More electricity gather in the hair of electrical people and it bristles up. Such hair shows more electricity and less magnetism, and the settled down hair shows the opposite. Hairs are always antennas - you have 250 thousand antennas for communication with the Cosmos. You can gain knowledge from everywhere; you take energy in with each hair. They do not exist without reason and it is not good they to fall. When living conditions are harder, hairs are thicker. The more favourable the conditions are, the thinner the hairs are. When you touch the hairs of somebody, you will guess how he, his grandfather, and his great-grandfather have lived. Hairs shall become smooth. If the character is mild, hairs are mild. If the character is sharp, hairs are sharp, hard. Why do you wash the hairs on the head? Since, because of the dust on them, you cannot take powers from Nature, and then hairs cannot work well as antennas. Man with short hair always becomes very active, and one who has long hair, becomes magnetic. When man has long hair, he is calmer. Long hair is a better conductor, and the short one - a worse conductor. One, who wants to be energetic, shall cut his hair. If he wants mildness, he shall leave his hair longer. Some sisters, who have let their hairs long, are in better spirits. Americans run, course, as if their ships are sinking, and that is why their hair have fallen off. When one has a magnetic character, magnetism goes to the hairs and they do not fall off. And if there is worry between the mind and heart, the hair becomes curly.
