seething inferno that makes life
a maddening existence that is impossible to bear and finally ends
in physical and mental torture
through the conscience to the soul.
The post card inquirer wants to know. “What is blindness good for?” The internal Menorgs that build man up from a microscopic seed to his natural stature, constructed magnifying glasses in the front of his head through which they could peer into the surrounding densities and observe what was taking place in a natural way. The Menorgs built these magnifying glasses, which man calls eyes, properly, but sometimes man, through lack of proper usage, destroys their machinery and they cannot see what happens on the outside of the body. Such a condition is called blindness. It is pitiful to think that man, would destroy his own power of sight through lack of right action. Many times during the past have I been told of men going blind after drinking wood alcohol. The physical sight of man is not only destroyed by his idiotic vices but his mental and spiritual sight is also wrecked by such debasing practices. To quote the chapter on Vices from my book MENTALITY: “A vice is an unnatural act that deteriorates the physical, mental and moral machinery of man. Vices reduce man to an unbalanced idiot in which condition he cannot even recognize himself as such. So as men are comparable to themselves, and if the majority of them are idiots, then they announce themselves as sane and wise. If a man puts sand in the carburetor of the engine that furnishes power to make an automobile run and the machine will not work, the average man who understands autos will denounce him as being insane. But if the majority of men are drunkards and they see the same man put whiskey into his stomach which stops his reasoning faculties from working they pronounce him as being sane for doing it. Now, in the sight of Nature, any man who wrecks his own body and mind through the use of false materials is an unnatural idiot, whether everybody else is addicted to such degraded vices or not. There is a reason why human beings become idiots. It is because their minds are not strong enough to control the different functions o1 their bodies. The dilapidating Disorgs will get possession of a function of the mental system through the weakness of the mind. Then, one by one, they will take possession of other functions until the mind has lost all control over them and the body staggers about like a ship without a pilot. A bit of wisdom has made man the most ludicrous of all animals. One may hunt the world over but can find no other animal strutting around with a lighted pipe or cigarette stuck in its face and |
