Foods in Their Season
CHAPTER EIGHT
The days passed and summer continued to hold the countryside in its embrace. During this time
Jesus came again to the people of Capernaum and sat among them and his disciples also.
.Speaking to those assembled, Jesus said, "It is wise to eat only twice a day, once when the
sun is high in the sky and again when the sun is set.
For all things in the world of man and nature are subject to the cycles of day and night. When
the sun is high in the sky the body is hungered, and when the sun sets, the body must face the long
hours before it is fed again.
"Therefore, eat when the sun has warmed your food from the chill of the night and again before
night comes once more and weakens the strength which day has implanted in it.
"It is also best for you to eat only those foods in season, for then your bodies will be in harmony
with the passing months of the year.
"I tell you truly, you will feel the heat less in the summer if you restrain yourself from foods that
serve your bodies during the winter. Yet, the rich grain from the fields and the nuts from the trees
shall keep you warm when the cold air of the winter touches you.
"To live in harmony with the seasons is to live in harmony with the powerful forces of earth,
even the great winds and rain, and yea, even the snows that fall on the distant mountains."
"Master," asked one who was familiar with Jesus, "Tell us what to eat during the seasons of the
year, that we might possess the power to overcome the heat and the cold."
Then Jesus spoke again, saying, "It is well that you ask these things, for then you shall be
increased in body and mind.
"In the month of Ijar (April-May) eat of the newly harvested barley while it is still filled with
life, as it has only recently been severed from the life-force that has fed it.
"But in the month of Sivan (May-June) gather the fresh fruit that your body may become less.
The power of the sun has ripened it to fullness and like the water the juice of the fruit will purify
your bloodstream. Then the life force that has been given to the fruit by the air and the sun shall
enter into your body.
"In the month of Eluh (August-September) eat the maize growing in your fields and pick the
pomegranates as they ripen on the vines. The fruit will purify your bodies and its rind will protect
you against the creatures (tapeworms) that oft times inhabit the bodies of those who are unclean.

In the month of Marcheshvan (October-November) your bodies must increase in preparation
against the colder months ahead. Eat therefore of the grains from the fields and pick from the trees
laden with sweet dates. Then your bodies shall not feel the chill of the winter.
"In the month of Tebeth (December-January) eat of the grains you have stored, but go then to
the orange grove and pluck also its fruit. I tell you truly that this fruit is like unto the sun and will
nourish your body and make pure your bloodstream.
"After this partake of the rich herbs, for these shall cleanse and make pure your body in
preparation for the heat of the summer.
"Know you not, your bodies are a holy temple that houses the Lord of the Heavens and as you
purify your synagogues and temples, it is even greater that you keep pure your bodies and your
mind.
"Truly, you should not eat when you are vexed with your neighbor, or angry with your enemy,
or even if you sorrow, for all that is within you then becomes sour and turns to poison. That which
is poison will destroy your life and your days will be filled with sickness.
"Offer therefore your gifts to the Lord on the altar of your body and remove all impure thoughts
from your mind and your life shall be long upon the earth.
After pausing for a time to make certain that those who had come to listen to him understood,
Jesus continued. He spoke of the early morning, for long had he relished the rising of the sun above
the hills. In watching the light slowly fill the sky, Jesus saw life awaken, and with it the dawn of
new beginnings.
Now he chided the people gently, instructing, "And when God sends His sun to awaken you
each morning, obey His summons and rise. Sad are those who remain in the abyss beyond wakeful-
ness. They greet not the day in joyous celebration, as they hear not the music of the birds, nor see
the opening of the flowers.
"The earth was built in joy, and joy is within the grasp of all people. Yet, those who seek
another world because they seek escape from the earth often find it difficult to be happy.
"Do not look upon your daily labors as drudgery, but serve the Lord in all that you do. Know
you not, the maiden at the loom and the man at the plow are beautiful in the eyes of the Heavenly
Father?
"Those who seek the ways of idleness darken their own hearts, their minds and their souls. They
put not their shoulders to the harvest, or serve as guardian over sheep, but oft times steal and
plunder and war because they seek not the path of good.
"I tell you truly, when night has fallen across the earth, it is then your Heavenly Father blesses
you with rest and covers the heavens with stars."
And Jesus rose from amidst those who sat with him and made his way toward the home of
Simon Peter that he might dine there. His disciples rose also and departed with him, for the sun was
setting and they also hungered.
