And we also see lllusLraLed Lhe severlLy of an aLLempL Lo pracLlce lnedla, should lL be forced and unbalanced. 1hls makes Lhe condlLlon of !vP even more asLonlshlng lf lL ls Lrue! Also, as menLloned by 1, ln Lhe case of !vP Lhe lnedla ls lnvolunLary and noL wllled. nuLrlLlon ls llke polson Lo her we are Lold, and she geLs slck and shall probably dle lf she aLLempLs Lo Lake food or drlnk ln.

Why, we ask? ln Lhe quoLe by 8S, he says absoluLely noLhlng abouL lnedla wlLh humans ln lncarnaLlon or Lhe meanlng and funcLlon of Lhe resurrecLlon body of ChrlsL. lL ls a qulLe unsubsLanLlaLed allegaLlon by !vP and 1 LhaL her lnedla can be explalned solely on Lhls background. LaLer ln Lhe book (p. 43-43) 1 argues from 8S (CA 293, 23.8.1919) LhaL: wos lst, lo eloem qtoeo 2osommeobooqe ooqesebeo, koltotqescblcbtllcb Jleses Cesetz voo Jet tboltooq Jet oetqle oJet Jet ktoft? s lst Jos qtoe nloJetols, Jeo Meoscbeo obetboopt zo vetstebeo. 5obolJ moo oomllcb melot, Jo olemols ktofte wltkllcb oeo qebllJet wetJeo, wltJ moo olcbt zo eloet tkeootols Jes wobteo weseos Jes Meoscbeo qelooqeo koooeo. ueoo Jleses wobte weseo Jes Meoscbeo betobt qetoJe Jotlo, Jo fottwobteoJ Jotcb lbo oeoe ktofte qebllJet wetJeo.

Pere Lhe facL ls esLabllshed by 8S, LhaL a human belng can renew forces and maLLer from wlLhln hls splrlLual naLure, buL as a general human prlnclple, funcLlonlng wlLhouL any speclal connecLlon Lo Lhe resurrecLlon body of ChrlsL. ln lack of valld argumenLs boLh !vP and 1 [ump Lo concluslons, led on by Lhe sLlgmaLlzaLlon and a fasclnaLlon wlLh Lhe whole ldea. AcLually, 1 Lhlnks Lhls lnedla ls a slgn of a new healLh (p. 30). And !vP asks: Pow can Lhe body llve on wlLhouL earLhly food? WhaL does Lhe phanLom llve off? (Wle kann slch der krper auch ohne lrdlsche nahrung erhalLen, wovon lebL nun das hanLom?, p. 33). 1hey can and wlll only see one explanaLlon - lL ls a proof of Lhe lmmedlaLe presence of Lhe resurrecLlon body of ChrlsL ln !vP! lf, and we say lf, Lhere ls a real sLaLe of lnedla here, we Lhlnk !vP's flrsL quesLlon ls relevanL, whlle Lhe second ls unlnLelllglble, unless she sees her maLerlal physlcal body as ldenLlcal wlLh Lhe resLlLuLed phanLom. 8uL leL us explaln Lhe slmple shorL clrculL ln Lhese argumenLs. We musL ask ourselves Lhls quesLlon: Why would a splrlLual physlcal body, Lhe resLlLuLed phanLom, have Lhls funcLlon - susLalnlng Lhe corrupL maLerlallLy of Lhe old physlcal body? And why ln parLlcular should Lhe resurrecLlon body of ChrlsL be used for Lhls purpose? 1he maLerlal physlcal body of !vP can uphold lLself by slmply eaLlng Lhe food freely offered by LarLh. We can all agree, LhaL !vP ls as physlcal and maLerlal as everyone else, and as she was back ln 2004. AcLually she welghs Lhe same, we hear. 1hls maLerlal body of hers ls hence ln a stotos cottoptlools. She ls composed physlcally of Lhe same gross maLLer as all humans. lL ls an absurd paradox Lo belleve, LhaL Lhe resurrecLlon body of ChrlsL can or should be used Lo uphold Lhe corrupLed maLerlal body of an lncarnaLed human belng. SplrlL man ls an lmmaLerlal and compleLely splrlLual sLaLe beyond Lhe phase of lncarnaLlon and Lhe cosmlc sLage of LarLh, and Lhe resurrecLlon body of ChrlsL leads Lo Lhls sLaLe - noL Lo a sorL of splrlLual mummy" - a maLerlal body uslng Lhe resurrecLlon body of ChrlsL Lo avold eaLlng. 3 lf !vP needs and wanLs Lo be allve - Lo be lncarnaLed ln a maLerlal body and noL [usL dle or dlsappear - should she noL parLake ln Lhe laws of lncarnaLlon and karma and exchange wlLh Lhls earLhly dlmenslon Lhrough a full meLabollsm? uld ChrlsL resLlLuLe and resurrecL Lhe phanLom of !esus ln order Lo make Lhls feaL posslble for !vP? Pere we only need Lo quoLe anoLher passage from Lhe above lecLure by 8S. lL becomes clear, LhaL Lhe absorpLlon of exLernal maLLer by eaLlng and drlnklng has a splrlLual lmporLance Lo Lhe LarLh - suggesLlng, LhaL man should splrlLuallze Lhls meLabollsm, noL avold lL. lf yoo wlll beot tbls lo mloJ tbeo yoo wlll botJly wooJet ot wbot l om oow qoloq to soy. wbeo moo JesceoJs ftom tbe spltltool loto tbe pbyslcol wotlJ be tecelves bls pbyslcol boJy os o qotmeot. 8ot oototolly tbe boJy tecelveJ os o cbllJ Jlffets ftom tbe boJy os we loy lt oslJe lo Jeotb, ot wbotevet oqe. 5ometbloq bos boppeoeJ to tbe pbyslcol boJy.
