expressed
through the mind and the body of man.
Some
have claimed that the Bible is a work
on physiology. So it is, but it is far
more; it treats of spirit, soul, and body
as a unit. That is the reason why those
who have studied the Bible from a merely
physiological standpoint have not understood
it. They have looked for descriptions
of flesh and bones. In truth those things
have no active existence without accompanying
life and intelligence; and the Bible sets
forth this fact in many symbols.
Jesus,
the Great Teacher, who knew what was in
man, began His evolution with Spirit.
He is the "only begotten Son
of God"; He is the type that
you should strive to follow, not only
in spiritual culture and in soul culture,
but in physical culture. If you would
bring forth the very best that is in you,
study the methods of Jesus. Study them
in all their details, get at the spirit
of everything that is written about this
wonderful man, and you will find the key
to the true development of your soul and
your body. If you will carry out His system,
there will be revealed to you a new man,
a man of whom you never dreamed, existing
in the hidden realms of your own subconsciousness.
