On The Carnal Self

The perhaps most overlooked aspect of the Self-complex by magicians is that of physical health and wellbeing.

It is all to easy to forget about the needs of the body while one pursues the refinement of the Self, but to do such is ultimately hampering. A fit, healthy body provides both a more refined vehicle for the Self in the World and also makes transcending the needs of the body easier when one's Work demands it.

If you have any chronic health conditions make their control and maintenance your highest priority. If you are relatively health consider beginning a program of physical refinement. The body is not simply the envelope of your consciousness while you are alive it is your primary magical tool in the World.

Treat your Carnal Self as well or better then you would any of the items in your ritual chamber and you will be greatly rewarded for the effort.
