seasons of living upon milk and raw foods are good
for the body and mind. But long agonizing fasts, and
the idea that we must exist like the air plants on our
respirations and aspirations, and never eat anything
which we like, in order to become "spiritual" --- that is
a phase of emotional insanity.
The wife who loves her husband and who knows
that he is her loyal lover and friend, yet who is carried
away by her religious mania to the extent of believing
that she must live only in the realm of the spirit with
him --- she, too, has become insane and needs a specialist to look after her condition. She is sinning against
God, who made men and women to be not only
spiritual and mental, but physical mates.
We have no right to attempt to overturn God's
kingdom on earth and to starve and mutilate and
crucify ourselves, to establish any order of life which
is unnatural and premature.
Live the best and highest order of this life before
you attempt another. Be the best wife, the best mother, the best friend, the best woman possible
before you try to become the best saint or angel.
To be the best wife to the good self-controlled
husband who respects your womanhood, you need to
be human as God intended you to be when he made
human beings. He made the trees, the plants, the
animals and the human family all with various
impulses, and had He not respected these impulses
enough to make them universal they would not
exist.
To starve or destroy, by unnatural methods, any
part of the nature is as wicked as to abuse and misuse
it. You have no right to brand as base or ignoble
what God created.
