There are three aspects of developing peace with the body: (1) the body as its own ecological unit; (2) the body as a planetary cell in our global organism; and (3) the cosmic body. The Essenes perceived the body as the manifestation of the laws of life and the cosmos. They studied the body because they saw it as a key to the universe, following the principle “as above, so below.” The body is the underlying functionality of the mind. So we think, so we feel. To find peace within our universe, within our community, and within ourselves, we must enrich the biological unit that houses our minds and souls. On this level, nature gives us seven healers: • A functionally appropriate diet for the demands of daily life and for our spiritual life (ultimately, these are the same) • Fresh air • Pure water • Adequate sunlight • Exercise • Rest • Emotional, mental, and spiritual harmony Rabbi Gabriel Cousens, MD Creating Peace by Being Peace
