Life and its Forces

Evelyn Lowes Wicker

Life and it’s Forces Is one of a series of lectures on Practical Psychology, given by Evelyn Lowes Wicker, which has created a persistent demand by the thinking public for this knowledge in book form.

Among the many books published upon this subject, none excel the efforts of this author in propounding the Laws of Life. She does so in that clear, simple, and con­cise manner, which, now, happily meets the needs of an increasing number of people giving thought to this vital subject.

THE FIRST CAUSE — GOD

All life is God and God is all life. Life fills all space; permeates and encompasses all mat­ter. Life contains a Law of Attraction—a creative positive and negative force, which is Love. God is Love. God is Intelligence. All the intelligence of the universe is Divine Mind or God. Divine mind or Intelligence plans and directs the universe and all therein. Divine Love holds the universe in form and all therein. Divine Life is the substance out of which all forms were made.

God is Life; God is Love; God is Intelligence: Three in One, and all three One inseparable Whole.

THE MAN WHO WINS

The man who wins is an average man,

Not built on any peculiar plan,

Not blest with any peculiar luck;

Just steady and earnest and full of pluck.

When asked a question he does not “guess”—

He knows and answers “No” or “Yes”;

When set a task that the rest can’t do,

He buckles down till he’s put it through.

Three things he’s learned: that the man who tries

Finds favor in his employer’s eyes;

That it pays to know more than one thing well,

That it doesn’t pay all you know to tell.

So he works and waits, till one fine day

There’s a better job with bigger pay,

And the men who shirked whenever they could

Are bossed by the man whose work made good.

For the man who wins is the man who works,

Who neither labor or trouble shirks;

Who uses his hands, his head, his eyes;

The man who wins is the man who tries.

—Charles R. Barrett.

BREATH

“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of Life, and man became a living soul.’

WHEN the Great Infinite Spirit created man His work was not complete until He breathed the breath of Life into man and man became a living Soul. Breath and man are inseparable, do without food for many days; he can do without water for three or four days; but he cannot do without breath for more than three minutes. Breath is the connecting link between man and his Maker and is the source of his life.

Man functions on three planes—the physical, mental, and the spiritual. But the latter is the plane of which we are most conscious. The first thing that we are conscious of is the fact that we have a physical body. We do not know anything about soul; we do not know anything about mind; but we do know that we have a body. As man evolves he becomes more and more conscious of the fact that he has a mind and a psychic body.

It is interesting to know that 63 1-3 per cent of our food comes from the air we breathe; and it is out of the air we get all energy that makes it possible for us to function mentally and phy­sically. Statistics prove that in the past man has used only 50 per cent and woman 33 1-3 per cent of their lung capacity.

Source of Energy

Out of the air we extract two very import­ant elements for the sustaining of life. The first is energy. The medical profession has not in the past recognized this fact. This knowledge has come to us from the Far East. It was a secret, and only given to those people who were privileged to study in the temples of the East. It was kept a secret because of the laws of caste as practiced by the Hindu. Little by little these secrets have seeped into the Western World. We have scientifically proven the truth of the Eastern philosophy of breath. It has become a part of the teaching of psychology. In the past we have been taught that our energy came from food. The result has been that whenever we feel worn out and innervated, we have been in the habit of try­ing to eat our way back to health. Through this ignorance we have shortened our life, in­stead of lengthening it. Man has eaten, and is today in the habit of eating, twice the amount of food necessary to sustain life. This fact is demonstrated and proven by psychologists and physiologists alike. Those who are practicing the principles as taught in psychology are liv­ing on a half or a third of the food that they ate when in the old thought. There is a law that the deeper you breathe the less you eat. Man is a fresh air animal.

Oxygen

The other element is oxygen. The average person believes that oxygen energizes. Oxy­gen does not energize. Oxygen is Nature’s scavenger. The energies of the body are appropriated from the air according to the amount of oxygen absorbed from the air we breathe. We inhale the two in correct propor­tions to the needs of the body.

During the renewal of the cells of the body the old cells are destroyed and new cells are born. When a cell bursts open and new cells come into life, there is a rank poison thrown out into the blood. It is the business of oxygen to destroy this poison. Oxygen contacting car­bon causes combustion and throws off carbon- dioxide gas, which is a deadly poison. This is the process that keeps the internal fires going within man. In order to be well and active we must eat just enough food to give us the proper balance of carbon and oxygen. If we eat too much food and breathe too little we become unbalanced or carbonated. We have not pro­vided enough oxygen to destroy the carbon, and the result is carbonization of the body, which always means disease, and premature old age. We eat too much and breathe too little.

Almost all of the pupils who have come un­der my supervision have been only partial breathers. Not one in a thousand is a hundred- per-cent breather. The blood, in order to have a balanced, healthy system, must contain 25 per cent oxygen when it leaves the lungs. As a rule we have a dirty blood stream. A pure blood stream means a healthy body, everything else being equal.

It has been said by noted scientists that our cells are so built that we may live a hundred and fifty years. This is not a new idea. The Yogi priests of the Far East temples have been known to live as long as eight or nine hundred years. In other words, they passed out when they pleased. They did this wonderful thing principally through the power of the knowledge of breath.
