Human beings wake up each day to find themselves doing everything from the inane to the insane. Women’s corset, being a suitable example.

Starting out as a fashion statement in the 1500’s women began wearing corsets made out of rigid materials and designed to diminish the waist, amplify the hips, and push up the boobs. Shorter definition: corset= torture.

The forced hour-glass figure went on until the early 20^th century. But, it wasn’t wisdom that snapped men and women out of the unnatural behavior, it was necessity. During World War I, metal was in hot demand. The appeal was made to women to give up their corsets made of steel. Women not only donated corsets measuring 28,000 tons of metal for arms, they entered the workforce to make those arms.

I love reading this from 21^st Century Science and Health, “Religious and medical systems treat physical pains and pleasures as if they are normal, but Jesus rebuked the suffering from any such cause or effect. The epoch approaches when true religion will be built on the understanding of the truth of being. However, people are slow to understand truth because they are obsessed with fashion, pride, bodies, and opinion. The fixation of materiality makes us weary and old because it goes against our higher nature. At some point, we will break through the fleeting and false and learn how Spirit, the great architect, has created men and women in Science.”
