Excerpt from The Law of the Rhythmic Breath: Teaching the Generation, Conservation, and Control of Vital Force
Is it wontedness and use, or perhaps, that unspeakably deadening factor thoughtlessness, that has robbed the pregnant aphorism "Breath is Life" of every atom of its profound significance?
None has ever gainsaid it, yet to the mass of mankind it means no more than if one were to write omicron mu! And to that suicidal mania, fear of fresh air and draughts, and its accompanying folly, flagrant neglect of the primal function of breathing, the world pays an annual tribute of at the lowest estimate a quarter million lives; all sacrificed to preventable disease! Even without a regret for those sent thus prematurely through the "Gates Ajar," think of the crushing weight of sorrow this entails upon the world! Though not our loss, the sorrow affects all within its environment.
