MALCOM: Yes, little one. We are pleased to be with you once more. How are you enjoying your new environment, being back in your old home town for this short stay of [[service]]? You will do well and we know you are looking forward to your [[visit]] tomorrow with your dear [[friend]] who lives here.
    +
Your [[conversation]] tonight, “the eating of flesh,” we would like to comment.

It is, most certainly, [[necessary]] that you eat well and be nourished in your flesh. Your physical [[mechanism]] is, indeed, needful for the [[resting]] place of your [[evolving soul]], for the indwelling sphere of activity for the [[Ta|Father’s spirit fragment]] within you. It is His [[temple]]. He desires that you have an [[efficient]], and well functioning vehicle for His indwelling so that He can dwell within you and efficiently [[guide]] you and [[communicate]] with you as you will to do His will.
    +
As long as there is [[life]], He is there within you, your constant [[faithful]] and loving [[guide]] and [[companion]], who, in conjunction with the [[Spirit of Truth]], guides you into all [[truth]] regarding His will for you. And He wills for you a long and [[healthy]] and [[pain]] free life of service and love to all His children. Therefore you have need of a good [[strong]], [[robust]], energy filled, efficient system in which to live and serve and have your [[being]].

Your conversation tonight, “the eating of flesh,” we would like to comment.
+
In your mortal flesh, you need sufficient [[nourishment]] for all your several cellular systems and [[organisms]]. As your friend so correctly [[explained]], this evening, your mortal physical needs are not being met as efficiently as in decades past due to [[pollution]], depleting [[soil]] conditions, and adulteration of your [[food]] resources. It is presently difficult for you to meet your complete nutritional requirements without [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_supplements supplementation] and indeed, [[divine]] [[intervention]].
   −
 
+
Natural supplementation is indeed [[necessary]], but also do not forget the asking of [[blessing]] upon your food intake for further [[purification]] and cleansing and in your [[prayer]] of [[thanksgiving]], for the [[preparation]] of your body for its efficient intake and utilization within the cells of your nutritional offerings.

Remember, you do not live in [[isolation]], for all is [[connected]] in energy [[grids]] and systems that you are now only beginning to [[understand]], in the infancy of your growing [[knowledge]] of such [[science]].
    +
With regards to the eating of flesh, that must be a personal choice and [[volition]], what rings true within your own [[heart]] and [[soul]]. Current and past [[traditions]] and customs of many and diverse [[cultures]] dictated such practices of both [[prohibition]] and excess.

[[Mankind]] has always, and continues to have [[free will]] choice over his life, which is ever [[supreme]], whether his choices are to his betterment or detriment. With his [[growth]] in [[faith]] comes [[wisdom]] in his choices. It is for you not to judge your brother’s [[path]] but to love and [[embrace]] him as your brother in the family of God.

It is not what one eats that defiles spiritually but [[negative]] and rebellious [[attitudes]] and [[thoughts]] and words out of his mouth that lead to [[corruption]] and [[sin]]. This you have heard before, but maybe now you can grasp a deeper [[understanding]] of what [[the Master]] teaches.

It is correct to live every aspect of your life in [[balance]] and in a wholesome [[manner]], physically, mentally and spiritually. All systems [[interact]] to produce [[health]] and wholeness of [[mind]], [[body]] and [[spirit]].

Indeed have you been taught that this life in the mortal flesh is not the end of your life. Your new morontia body will be nourished much differently, and of course, these current issues will be of no import with the shedding of the old temporary tabernacle at the end of your mortal life. Yes, your soul quality, personality and individuality with its thoughts, values and meanings of truth, goodness and beauty are all important and do go on.

     −
The essence of you and your ideals, your faith is what is important and needs your attention now, but that is not to say that you should do any less in the care and maintenance of your physical body, for that too is a wondrous and marvellous gift to you, in service to you in the mortal life. It is in this arena that your develop the higher levels of your being.
