While the stimulants described here are all without exception in reality not food, and have therefore nothing to do with nutrition, it cannot be denied that the stimulants I will now mention to a certain extent really are food; but note only "to a certain extent". They belong to that form of food suited to organisms of lower or more robust and primitive natures than the human; in other words, they are foods from which the terrestrial human being has in reality more and more grown away – to a great extent without knowing it. The numerous abnormal states brought about by these foods have, however, given rise to the beginnings of a rapidly accelerating development of the individuals' food consciousness or tendencies to desire more refined food, more appropriate and natural to their advanced organism and elevated spiritual mentality.
      So the foods from which terrestrial human beings have grown away, and to which they are therefore beginning to take a dislike, cannot be regarded as normal for these beings since they are also, to a certain extent, a manifestation of alien energies extraneous to large parts of the organism. Such foods include meat, pork, fat, lard, fish, lobsters, crabs, shrimps, snails, mussels and the like. These foods are suited only to beings with coarse and robust organisms such as lions, tigers, hyenas, dogs and cats. To the same extent as the evolutionary step of the terrestrial human being lies above the steps or stages of such beings, these food products will be unnatural food.
      If people nevertheless to a great extent consume these products as daily food, it is an expression of the fact that their food consciousness and taste organs have not been able to keep pace with the evolution of the other parts of their organisms. These taste organs do not yet therefore cause the hunger or thirst proper to people's advanced step, or the normal desire for those food products suited to that step. In other words, the nature of the particular taste of these products is still not so pleasant or habitual for them as to outdistance the taste of the above-mentioned animal substances. Curiously enough, one therefore finds that people today choose the coarse animal foods or meats, which are in reality, as sources of nutrition, too far below that step for foods which, for the cosmic or occult sight, proves to be the proper one for the organism of the advanced terrestrial human being.
      So present terrestrial mankind, which is otherwise to a very great extent modern or up to date, is thus within the area of nutrition in reality out of date or old-fashioned. The same being, not only within spiritual areas but also within the areas of nutrition, must be said to be, in the words of the Bible, "the prodigal son who eats with the swine". Indeed, he not only eats the above-mentioned primitive products, which he seriously considers necessary for the maintenance of life, but he has at times even turned this eating or the satisfaction of this unnatural hunger into the core of every form of recreation. So, in these cases, he lives in order to eat, while he in reality should eat only in order to live.
      Since all the above-mentioned animal products are taken from the organisms of beings that have been killed, they must of necessity be termed "corpse-substances". And every form of consumption of these is therefore identical with "the eating of corpses", and can as such belong, of course, only to a primitive animal nature and absolutely not to a higher form of human culture or existence.
      But let me here hasten to say that I of course do not put forward the present analyses in order to attack any meat-eater, butcher, hunter or fisherman. On the contrary, I think that the relation of every individual to the above-mentioned problems must be decided by himself, in accordance with his spiritual attitude, abilities and development, and not by me nor by others. When I put forward these analyses it is because the question of nutrition is for mankind of such a serious nature that none of its individuals can become really healthy or have an existence really free of illness before it comes into contact with that source of nutrition which, absolutely without existing on the basis of murder and dismemberment, in accordance with eternal laws, is suited to the step in evolution of the advanced human being. I will therefore in this book show the evolution of the presence of such a source of nutrition on the earth, at the same time giving an overview of how the abovementioned animal foods or products, besides meaning killing or dismemberment for the beings from whose organisms they are taken, also mean murder and suicide for the human beings who take them into their organisms as nourishment, and who are thus in conflict with the very law of existence or the eternal commandment "Thou shalt not kill".
