So terrestrial people find themselves in a zone where they struggle with illnesses and sufferings based on their unfortunate choice of stimulants and sources of nutrition. This struggle is so dominant and the food consciousness so erroneous for a vast number of people that it is already now evident to cosmic consciousness that the beings concerned are well on the way to losing their normality or ability to create perfect bodies in their next incarnations, and therefore in these incarnations will be comparable to those beings who today fill our homes for the mentally handicapped, mental hospitals and hospitals. Such aspirants to future more or less abnormal incarnations or existences based on an erroneous food consciousness are identical with those who in daily existence appear as weak-willed "morphine addicts", "alcoholics", "smokers" and so on. Those stimulants that bring the beings into these categories are all, without exception, realities that are pure poison for the organism and that are accumulated in this organism only because of an emerging or habitual hunger or thirst that is quite unnatural, since these substances have nothing whatsoever to do with nutrition; in their absolute purest forms, they are totally alien to the organism.
      As substance is in reality the same as power or energy, and energy in turn creates movement or vibration, none of these alien substances or energies can be introduced into an organism without creating corresponding movement or vibration. It is this vibration that is the basis for taste. If substance were not concentrated vibration, one would never be able to be taste or smell it. When something tastes sour or sweet, this particular taste is only an expression of the reaction between the vibration of the substance and the vibration of the substance in our tongue or organs of taste. In the same way it is the reaction between the vibration of the substance and the vibration of the substance in our organs of smell that is identical with what we call the "scent" or "smell" of the substance. The continuous introduction of alien substances into an organism means the same as a maintenance of an unfolding of alien energy in this organism. But such an unfolding of alien energy can spell only trouble for the organism's normal and necessary unfolding of energy, since it cannot exist in the organism without resisting or restraining the normal functions of the organism. So the reaction arising between the normal energy and the alien energy cannot mean anything but disharmony for the organism. It is such disharmony we call "illness". When the alien energy is stronger than the normal energy and completely overcomes it, the physical body perishes and death occurs. Through death, or life in the spiritual world, the individual, by virtue of "X2" or his principle of creation, acquires the ability to incarnate or be born in a new physical body. But just as he has, by faulty ways of living, undermined or worked against his principle of creation, to that same extent will the abovementioned ability be lacking. And the individual will then, as previously mentioned, to a corresponding extent come to appear as abnormal or ill in his new physical existence. Through these dark lives or profound experiences, however, the "I" is again led back to the light, but in a new, transfigured form.
