have all been caused by previous acts during the past day
or some other day of our life.
It is our task to find that cause and to analyze the
reason which leads up to every development, so that we may
know in future how to take advantage of opportunities for
soul growth and avoid evil. Thus if we follow up the day's
experience in reverse order we profit by the experiences
gained right away instead of waiting until we have passed
out of this life and are forced to reap the fruits of our
deeds in Purgatory and the First Heaven.
QUESTION No. 151.
What value are breathing exercises in developing body
and mind?
Answer: The value of breathing exercises depends upon
the knowledge of the person who gives them. Breathing
exercises given in books and by so-called teachers, who
advertise courses in psychic development, are exceedingly
dangerous and many a person is in the insane asylum
today on account of having attempted to use them, or,
perhaps, sleeps under the sod in the grave of a consump-
tive.
