with the transmuted product of breath, which is force.
Bring every muscle in the body, deep and superficial, under the control of the will; twist–turn–breathe–tense, until like a contortionist every intelligence within your body springs spontaneously to your command.
The awakened, eager, muscular system casts off at once all that is clogging response. An used muscle cannot deposit fat, neither can it become bound and inert in its sheath.
With this call the muscle juice (myocine) reconstructs itself, lubricating the whole internal flesh, while the skin slipes again over every muscle and becomes a normal excretory channel, covering, protecting and feeding the tissue beneath.
There is no exoteric exercise that will accomplish what this esoteric one of breath and tensing will; it frees the body, exalts the mind, restores healthy emotions, rejuvenates the whole being, while it lets the higher concept centers become unclouded to receive transcendental revelation.
Fasting, Breathing, Thinking, Tensing; this is the sunrise over our new world. It wipes the dullness of our old dead cells off our spiritual horizon like mists from glass and we look out, clear eyed, over a new kingdom which our own inspired wisdom has conquered.
