- 30 - ‘unclean’ animals were not allowed to be used as sacrificial animals. The animals regarded as ‘unclean’ in the Bible are those that have the lowest and most impure od of any creatures whose flesh could conceivably serve as human food. • This is also why the people were forbidden to eat the flesh of unclean animals. Because of its impure od it was harmful first of all for the human body. Your physicians know well enough that eating pork is not to be recommended, especially for growing children. What you call scrofula3 would scarcely be found among children if they were denied pork. • Pork is not wholesome even for adults if it forms a substantial part of the daily diet. There was, however, another reason for forbidding the Jews to eat the flesh of unclean beasts. You know that any impure od that may be present in a person offers a dangerous opening to the evil spirit world to influence him negatively in a lasting way. • Impure od is the breath of life of the evil spirits, and whenever they find someone whose od is like their own, they can very readily not only influence his thoughts and imagination, but also arouse his physical passions to a dangerous pitch. • A person whose od is pure is not easily accessible to evil, which is kept from direct contact by the radiation of his pure od. For evil can no more bear pure odic radiation than a person whose eyes are afflicted can bear strong light. • The purity of a person’s od depends upon the purity of his spirit. Since most people, because of their impure spirits, already have quite enough impure od to offer sufficient openings to evil, it is most important to not add more impure terrestrial od through the consumption of unclean food. God therefore had very important reasons for forbidding the eating of the meat of unclean animals. The influence of the Powers of Evil was particularly strong in those days, owing to the widespread idolatry, and God wanted to protect the people He had chosen as the bearers of His faith against this pernicious influence. “For the same reason He issued the numerous rules to govern those cases in which the Israelites came into contact with impure od, and were considered unclean in consequence. The od of clean, unblemished animals, however, was not sufficient by itself for the preparation of the odic mixture needed for the Tabernacle. Also, the purest od that could be procured from plants and minerals was needed. The od of flowing myrrh, of cinnamon, calamus, cassia, rye bread, flour, wine and olive oil was mixed with that of spices like stacte, onycha and galbanum, pure frankincense and salt. Thus, it became a ‘sweet smell for the Lord’.. You know from what I have taught you what is meant by ‘sweet smell for the Lord’; you know that the purest od likewise emits the sweetest odour. The odic mixture for the Tabernacle was prepared by God’s spirits in a state of purity corresponding to that of the spirit that manifested itself. The ‘chemists of the Beyond’ were those beings that you call ‘cherubs’4. That is why their image was placed above the cover of the Ark of the Covenant in 3 Scrofula: Tuberculous Skin and Lymph node decease. 4 See brochures “Not from this Earth, Part 1 – 4.
