LESSON NO. 21—BREATH OF LIFE

“The Essence of the Universe is in the Infinite Air in eternal movement which contains ALL in itself. Everything is formed by integration and disintegration of the AIR under the Law of Expansion and Contraction.”—Anaximenes.

We saw in the preceding lessons that man eats to die and drinks to die. Now we shall learn that he breathes to die.

Breathing is such an easy, natural function that people give it little attention and regard it lightly.

Until recent discoveries in the field of atoms, only a few realized that the Essence of the Universe is in the Infinite Air in eternal movement which contains ALL in itself.

Man has gone without eating for weeks and lived. It is reported that some people have lived for years without eating. Man has gone without drinking for 30 days and lived. But if he stops breathing for three or four minutes, it is fatal.

This is proof that breathing is the big secret of living. When we stay the Breath we stop the Life.

According to ancient wisdom, the mystery of Life is not in the body’s function, nor in food, nor in chemical changes occurring within the body, nor in the decomposition of the body’s tissues—but in the “Spiritus Nitro-aerius.”

The Breath is the Life (Gen. 2:7). The Spirit of Life animates the body; the flesh profits nothing, remaining a chemical compound of atoms. When the Breath of Life no longer animates the body, it disintegrates and its atomic elements return to their original source (Eccl. 11:2; Jn. 6:63).

That is the philosophy of the Ancient Masters. It sounds sensible and its truth is hourly proven.

Had this ancient secret of Life been lost, the world had nothing to guide it in this important field but the absurd theory of modern science,—that Life is the expression of a series of chemical changes (Osler).

When we recognize that “Breath Is Life,” as Pundit Acharya put it, we have a definite law of biology, psychology and physiology—a law that modern science up to this hour has not.
