If it be asked why abstention from meat-eating should be conducive to sexual self-control, the answer must include a few assertions to be complete. But the prime reason is because most of the animals which are killed and eaten by man owe their own existence to the sexual lust of their parents and this lust permeates their flesh in an invisible psychic-magnetic aura. Most fish of course are an exception to ordinary sexual birth, yet shellfish are a notoriously aphrodisiac article of food. The cause of this must be sought elsewhere than in their origin.
