Man's Higher Consciousness

About this book

In this book, first published in 1962, Professor Hilton Hotema provides his insights into how we could all live longer by learning the body's simple requirements of breathing fresh air, avoiding animal flesh, banning any cooked food, and by gradually lessening the amount of food consumed. Hotema firmly believes that breathing fresh air and consuming organic fruits and natural organic liquids alone could extend our lives and also lays bare his secret that what kills at an early age is not the illusion of time, but rather overeating, breathing in toxic, unclean air, and elements such as electronic radiation, dirty electricity and medications.A must-read for any health-conscious individual.

WHY WE LIVE AND WHY WE DIE

Scientific investigation shows that—
“We breathe to live and we breathe to die,
We drink to live and we drink to die,
We eat to live and we eat to die.”
In this work it is sought to show how to take DEATH out of Breathing, Drinking and Eating, so man may live 250 to 300 years—
As Dr. Robert McCarrison, of the British Army Medical Service in India, reported of a colony of people he found living in a certain Himalayan region, who were active and vigorous, yet so old in years that he was astounded and could not believe their records were correct. But he found no error in their way of keeping time. He said:
“Men well over 200 years of age were working in the fields with much younger men, doing as much work, and looking so much like the younger men, that I was unable to distinguish the old from the young.”—K. L. Coe in Correct Eating & Strength, March, 1931.

INTRODUCTION

The living cell is animatized by Cosmic Force and Intelligentized by Cosmic Consciousness.
The human body is a mass of trillions of cells, guided by Infinite Intelligence.
Each cell is a mass of millions of atoms, each of which is a miniature solar system, with “planets” in the form of tiny electrons whirling at tremendous speed around a common center of attraction.
The solar system has no use for food. The electrons do not eat. The atoms do not eat. The cells do not eat. Why should man eat?
The Parent Cell begins the body of man and expresses the uncanny intelligence which it inherits from the Cosmic Principle of Creation. This cell does not come from food, and does not depend on food. The body is not the product of food, and should not depend on food.
Food cannot sustain what it cannot produce. As the body is not the product of food, it is actually not sustained by food.
Infinite Intelligence works in the cell, from the Parent Cell on through the entire existence of the body. Being directed by Infinite Intelligence, the cells know spontaneously the functions they are to perform in the construction and maintenance of the body.
The innate intelligence of the part the Cells must play in the whole body is a mode of being of all the elements of the body, These elements know their work, and can receive no aid from human hands.
The body cells are seen to understand numerology, geometry, physiology and biology, and act conceitedly for the good of the whole.
The spontaneous tendency of the cells toward the formation of the organs of the body is a primary datum of observation.
The body, from the Parent Cell on, is built by techniques and directed by Intelligence entirely foreign to the best scientific minds.
From the Parent Cell, composed of invisible atoms, and out of the invisible Essence of the Universe in the Infinite Air which contains ALL in itself, the body and its organs come into being by the work of cells endowed with Infinite Intelligence.
The cells prove by their work that they possess a prevision of the future structure and its purpose, and they synthetize from the atomic substance that appears to be contained in the plasma, not only the building material, but also the builders.
The trillions of cells forming the body are tiny suns and stars, composed of the same cosmic essence and governed by the same cosmic law.
A droplet of water forms a tiny microcosm containing a great variety of cosmic chemical elements. The body cell is practically a duplicate of a water droplet, but raised to the high plane of divine animation.
If the cells depend on food and drink, man should continue to grow and live as long as he had sufficient food and drink.
According to the press of May 27th, 1937, Srimati Bala, of Bankura, India, age 68 had taken no food nor water since she was 12. The account said “She is always gay and looks like a child.”
What is possible in one case is possible in millions of other cases. Abbe N. Montfaucon De Villars stated in his book that the Ancient Masters ate food only for pleasure and never of necessity (Compte De Gabalis).

MAN EATS TO DIE

The world is flooded with books on food and feeding. No one seems to realize that eating is not natural, but an acquired habit, like smoking and drinking, and that Air is the Cosmic Reservoir of all things, including the substance that builds and sustains the human body.
Science shows that the body is built of cells, which are composed of molecules, which are composed of atoms, which are composed of electrons, which are nothing more than whirling centers of force in the ether.
Electrons do not eat, atoms do not eat, molecules do not eat, cells do not eat, and the body is built of and sustained by the cells, and not what man eats.
More proof that eating is not only a habit but a bad one, appears in the fact that a sick man often begins at once to recover when given no food, and even shows signs of growing younger.
This could not be, and it would be dangerous for one to fast, if eating were natural and food were needed to sustain the body.
Why does man seem to starve to death when deprived of food? That riddle “MAN’S MIRACULOUS UNUSED POWERS” considers.
For more than half a century the author read books on food and feeding, and closely followed the arguments and explanations. He found those who favored Vegetarianism omitted all the bad features, and the same course was pursued by those who favored Carnivorism.
Books favoring Vegetarianism say nothing of the damaging qualities of vegetables and cereals. Those favoring Carnivorism carefully omit the damaging properties of flesh.
These authors lead their readers astray with half-truths. A half-truth is more dangerous than a lie, as it is more misleading.
The author describes the damaging qualities of all foods, and favors none. What he shows will shock the reader and show him why that group of eminent doctors in the 19th century, after studying the food question from every angle, concluded with this astounding statement:
“We eat to live, and we eat to die.”
Why is it possible that we eat to live and eat to die? If we eat to live, how can we eat to die? If we eat to die, how can we eat to live?
In this work these puzzling questions are considered and answered.

LESSON NO. 1—PHYSICAL PERFECTION

Physical Perfection would be Physical Immortality; and Herbert Spencer formulated the Law of Physical Immortality as follows to-wit:
“Perfect correspondence would be perfect life. Were there no changes in the Environment but such as the organism had adapted changes to meet, and were it never to fail in the efficiency with which it met them, there would be Eternal Existence and Eternal Knowledge” (First Principles).
Breatharianism is Physical Perfection. Man came into physical existence a Perfect Breatharian. God breathed into his nostrils the Breath of Life, and man became a living entity (Gen. 2:7). Nothing was lacking, and nothing more was needed.
The Breath of Life supplied all the requirements of animation. The Breatharian needs air only, and nothing more, to sustain his body. In that state of Physical Perfection man has no other wants. The less man needs the more he becomes like gods, who use nothing and are immortal—said the Ancient Masters.
Poverty, Want and Sickness are the work of man. They are the products of his habits which correspond with his desires. He increases his burdens as he multiplies his wants.
The less man needs the more complete he becomes. He gains Perfection as he gains freedom from all Wants. The more Wants he has, the less complete he is, and the farther he inclines from Perfection. He changes his world as he changes himself.

BREATH OF LIFE

“Every living thing must breathe the air in order to live. The tree breathes the air through its leaves. The leaves are in this sense the lungs of the tree. Insects breathe the air through tiny openings in their bodies. Frogs breathe the air partly through the skin. Fishes breathe the air by taking oxygen out of the water as it passes over their gills. Man breathes the air through the air cells of the lungs.”—Frederick M. Rossiter, B.S., M.D., L.C.R.P., London.
“Hardly anyone understands this science (of breathing), which all should know and practice. It is the air that renews our blood and brings life to all our organs. It is the air that helps to give us balance and to keep our physical and psychic functions in good order...Most people use only a third, a quarter or even a fifth part of the lung’s total surface.”—Professor Edmond Szekely.
Modern Man is the degenerate descendant of the Breatharian. During the millions of years that man has inhabited the earth, his environment and the many habits he has formed have forced his body to adapt itself, under the law of Vital Adjustment, to many evil conditions and harmful substances in order to survive, all of which are foreign to the body and injurious in character.

STAGES OF DEGENERATION

Every fact of living existence, the Law of Vital Adjustment, the evidence contained in ancient scriptures, all prove without an exception that modern man is the product of descending Evolution—Devolution.
The scanty evidence that has survived from the remote past, shows that modern man has slowly descended through the five stages
1. Breatharianism.
2. Liquidarianism.
3. Fruitarianism.
4. Vegetarianism.
5. Carnivorism.
Breatharian indicates a plant or animal that neither eats nor drinks and subsists entirely on the substances contained in the air. It is surprising to know how many such plants and animals there are.
