Course XXXVII - Teaching 15: Balance of Atoms

To keep the organism healthy and to cure sickness when its vital balance has been lost, it is indispensable to restore the harmony among the different atomic groups.
This harmony should ever exist according to the ancient motto: “Medici tibi fiant haec tria: mens laeta, requiens, moderata diaeta”.
Ponderable atoms have polyhedral forms in the physical world; when they prevail, if we could observe them, their image would be that of a quadrilateral field.
Since they influence skeleton, muscles and conjunctive tissue in a being, when their number is abnormal, tend to harden joints, to remove elasticity in the organism and to produce arteriosclerosis. Also, in prevailing ponderable atoms on the rest, they gain power and are reproduced more easily; to reduce their influence, it is necessary to control nutrition.
Usually, at the age of 40 an individual eats as if he were 20 years old.
Calcium, main auxiliary of ponderable atoms, which in adolescence is indispensable, becomes an enemy since the age of 40.
Something similar occurs also with the rest of elements, producing several diseases.
To restore the balance you should not reduce the diet in all but to alternate it, for instance: for a year, meat is suspended; during the following year, hydrocarbons are reduced; and during subsequent years, fats are reduced.
Dynamic atoms have spheroid form and their number is constant; a right human breath keeps this favorable rhythm that can be spontaneous or acquired.
When dynamic atoms are numerically unbalanced in regard to the rest, a man does not reach a normal term of life.
Imponderable atoms have several and variable forms; their number is not stable in the present man.
In certain types of the sixth sub-race a considerable progress in this numeric stability is perceived. If a man could harmonize his constitutive atoms, he would be a true god on the Earth; a free and happy being; he would not know disease or old age, and would be able to overcome death and move to higher world with full consciousness. He would unite pleasure with pain in a way that neither pain would reach the point of despair, nor pleasure the point of paroxysm.
These two forces, instead of colliding with each other, by a divine antinomy would harmonize in a way that, before the absence of excessive pain or pleasure, would give the individual being continuous stable peace and happiness.
