As spirit, as we know, survives the death of every physical organism to which it has been bound, so the micro-spirit or micro-life in every food product cannot possibly be destroyed, diminished or augmented, but will survive any form of separation from physical matter regardless whether this separation occurs by means of gastric juice or cooking. Digestion in itself is thus only a process of separating and liberating the spirit or micro-life for the building up and maintenance of the digesting being's organism. That this digestion or process of separation is supplemented by an artificial process such as cooking has no influence whatsoever on the placing of the liberated micro-spirit's new incarnation. This is decided solely by the micro-spirit's or micro-life's own talent kernels. If these talent kernels are of such a nature that they can develop to full maturity in the flesh and blood of the digesting organism, they will instantaneously incarnate there. This happens especially in the case of ripe fruit around a kernel. However there is much liberated micro-life which cannot attain normal development in the above-mentioned flesh and blood. This micro-life therefore quickly incarnates in other substance or matter where the perfect conditions for the unfolding of its talent kernels are present. As there is much of this form of micro-life present in the food products which one cooks to a certain degree, namely meat, gristle and blood products, it is reasonable that here one can ascertain less vitamin activity than usual or a loss of vitamins; but as already mentioned this has absolutely nothing to do with the cooking process, but rather to the unsuitability of this particular micro-life for assimilation as nourishment in the organism concerned. And the situation would not be altered even if the mentioned products were enjoyed in an uncooked or raw state. So cooking is not only harmless but is a splendid help for man in his cosmic wandering across the epoch of both animal and vegetarian products which are coarse and difficult to digest, to the resplendent golden age of a future new culture where diet will no longer be a problem but, in combination with all other aspects of daily existence, will be a mature mankind's divine enjoyment of the eternal source of health created by. God Himself through the whole of Nature's abundance of rays.

So a more refined form of digestion is developing in the organic structure of terrestrial man which will gradually remove the killing principle from the digestive area so that - also in relation to his micro-beings - the being will be capable of manifesting the observance of the fifth commandment: "Thou shalt not kill", and can thus represent in all fields the perfect or finished human being's behaviour or total fulfilment of the law of neighbourly love.

With the development of this new killing-free digestive process a corresponding special diet situation is becoming a reality. So one begins increasingly to insist that a 'raw vegetarian diet' is absolutely the only correct form of nourishment, and one wishes cooking to be excluded from every field in the area of human nutrition. As we have already discussed, this attitude is neither logical nor scientific where it involves the use of very robust and coarse products for man's nutrition, as cooking here is not only harmless, but is simply necessary to convert these products, which are designed for an animal digestive capacity, to food for human beings. Of course, something quite different is in evidence when it is a matter of the use of those products which have been completely developed by Nature's hand to be pure food whose micro-life can pass into an organism as nourishment without any sort of prior destructive process of death-inducing digestion. Indeed, such micro-life's normal physical and mental existence is simply dependent on this assimilation as nourishment in an organism. That cooking therefore is not only superfluous but is positively harmful will not be difficult to understand when one learns that the products which have been completely developed by Nature itself to be food products constitute the flesh and juices of edible ripe fruits. It may be presumed common knowledge that ripe oranges, bananas, peaches, grapes, plums, apples, pears, melons etc. do not improve in taste and aroma by cooking, and without this or any other killing process are easily assimilated as nourishment in the organism of terrestrial man. This is also the case to a certain degree with the lighter leaf products which are used in salad, and the pressed juice of mild carrot-like root products. And so, particularly in the flesh and juices of edible ripe fruit, we have the micro-life which, entirely without any sort of killing process, destructive digestion or physical death, can be assimilated as nourishment in an organism; and which therefore - with its contact with the observance of the fifth commandment and the law of love - constitutes the true food for the perfect human being.

But terrestrial man is still very far from being a completely developed or perfect human being. To a great extent he still belongs to the stages between 'animal' and 'human being'. Therefore his digestion and diet is also something between the animal and the human. He therefore still does not have the capacity to be able to live entirely on the pure flesh and juices of fruits but must still have a certain quantity of coarser vegetable products. Therefore the present problem in terrestrial man's nutrition is not a question of what is best - either the raw vegetarian diet touched on here or the coarse products where cooking is still necessary - but rather is largely a question of which combination or composition of the two sorts of diet one should use in order to safeguard one's perfect health and ensuing normal bodily well-being.

As terrestrial human beings are developed very differently and therefore cannot find themselves at the same stage of nutrition, the answer must be individual. Every individual must therefore perceive the reactions of his own organism to different food products, and through this come to recognise the dietary composition which gives him or her exactly the most perfect feeling of health and well-being.
