“ Muscle Tensing, with Fasting.
When we begin to fast, our first attention is to our flesh structure. We must tear down our old house of worn-out substances and gather new material for our new construction work. The body is always reconstructing itself but it is too slow a process to fit the whirlwind consciousness of the new Illuminatus. ”

“ The old world never knew that we could change our personality just as fast as we can change our desires and that when we have outgrown a situation or an idea, we can take off the old face and form which fitted them, and grow new ones just as easily as a lobster grows a new claw. ”

“ This conscious control of the breath, with fasting and muscle tensing, were the mysteries of the temples of Lemuria and Atlantis over thirty thousand years ago, and those who knew the law continued their lives thousands of years in youthful, free, healthy bodies. ”

“ A muscle used and released will keep normal, an unused muscle atrophies and and an overused muscle hypertrophies. There is a normal use and disease which must be maintained of a weak, dying flesh body results.
In the life of our modern civilization the ordinary individual does not use more than two-thirds of his muscular system, nor does he use one-third of his lung space. A few important muscles are made to do all the work, the rest lie dormant or, at the best, try to urge themselves upon the attention through lameness, weakness or stiffness. ”

“ Under the new method of exercise we conserve all our energies, yet have results the old methods never gave us. This new method is not alone the normal muscle function, but an almost abnormal action, brought about through tension and release. ”
