The Origins of Cosolargy
Quotes from Gene Savoy, Sr.
“On Christmas night, The Child Jamil sat at the table with those who had gathered around him. And there were eight. The table was laden with fruits and nuts, cakes and candies, corn, rice and potatoes, bread and sweet wine. And The Man [Gene Savoy, Sr.] was asked to say grace over the food, and he hesitated, saying: 'Think now, my beloved companions, of the thing you ask.
“'Does not the whole world participate in an unending cannibalism, each thing living off another—slaughtering animal, fish, or fowl, grain, and vine? Know that the wheat and the vine, the cane and the tree, and the fruits thereof were sacrificed for this meal. Did they not have a right to live? Do not the sacrificed have a place before God? While God is present in all living things, indeed in all creation, , God is separate from it and transcends it. Who, then, sustain the eater? Whom should we thank for nourishment?' Then he broke bread and and raised a cup of wine, adding: 'We are taught that this bread and this wine can be changed into the body and blood of the New and Eternal Covenant which is Christ. We are also taught that, except as we eat the flesh of man, and drink his blood, we have not life in ourselves,' And they were all silent, everyone, and perplexed; for they had been taught to say grace and partake of Holy Communion.
“And The Man, speaking for The Child sought to explain his words, and he said: 'We are taught that all things are cleansed with the shedding of Jesus' blood and that through this blood we receive eternal redemption from sin, that when the bread and wine are consecrated and taken into us, we achieve a spiritual union with God. Is such union attained by the stomach? Bread and wine nourish the physical body, which is heir to death. Is not the corporeal body food for worms—the eater becoming the eaten?”
