Life Style
Each person makes his/her own rules about life style.
There is no value in keeping to rules imposed by someone else if they go
against one's own information at the time.
Within a lifetime, life style rules may change. For each person there
will come a time when the value of certain rules becomes clear and at
that time there will be little difficulty in adapting one's life style
accordingly.
No life style rules can be considered absolute; so, life style rules may
contradict one another or exceptions may be made in special circumstances.
This is a question left to the wisdom of each individual.
Whatever you do, do it consciously and be aware of the consequences.
Some Piers life style rules are given as an example.
Personal integrity
"Your body is the temple of the holy spirit" (St Paul)
By preserving the integrity of the body one is helping one's progress
towards transition. Mistreating the body causes undetected pain and
injury as individual body cells or units shriek in protest at the way
they are handled.
