Essenes Gospel and its falsification Dez 18

not die and not decay. He is to receive Christ, light, truth,
and life, so that he may not die, even if he has died. Life
cannot be destroyed. It escapes and the celestial can only be
attained through the earth.
If a human being consumes meat and cooked food, a deficiency
arises, for, in order to remain healthy, he must add to
his body these living elements over his food. And since the
flesh of animals begins to deteriorate from the moment of its
slaughter, the elements, water, air, earth, and sun, immediately
disintegrate the contained life. It is no longer possible
to speak of living elements, even if the meat were raw. Consumption
of the dead flesh of animals also has another negative
effect that is more harmful by far than disease, because
due to the missing elements the prerequisite for the resurrection
of the flesh is absent.
