An excerpt from the book I am reading
Physical Perfection would be Physical Immortality; and Herbert Spencer formulated the Law of Physical Immortality as follows to-wit:
“Perfect Correspondence would be perfect life. Were there no changes in the Environment but such as the organism had adapted changes to meet, and were it never to fail in efficiency with which it met them, there would be Eternal Existence and Eternal Knowledge” (First Principles)
Breatharianism is Physical Perfection. Man came into physical existence a Perfect Breatharian. God breathed into his nostrils the Breath of Life, and man became a living entity (Gen. 2:7). Nothing was lacking, and nothing more was needed.
The Breath of Life supplied all the requirements for animation. The Breatharian needs air only, and nothing more, to sustain his body. In that state of Physical Perfection man has no other wants. The less man needs the more he becomes like gods, who use nothing and are immortal—said the Ancient Masters.
Poverty, Want and Sickness are the work of man. They are the products of his habits which correspond with his desires. He increases his burdens as he multiplies his wants.
The less a man needs the more complete he becomes. He gains Perfection as he gains freedom from all Wants. The more Wants he has, the less complete he is, and the farther he inclines from Perfection. He changes his world as he changes himself.
