The Gnostic book called The Interpretation of Knowledge says; Enter through the rib whence you came and hide yourself from the beasts. The burden that you bear now [is] not yours. Whenever [you (fem.)] go […] from his glory […] from the first. From [being counted] with the female, sleep [brought labor] and the [Sabbath]which [is the] world. For [from being] counted with the Father, sleep brought [the Sabbath] and [the exodus] from the [world of the beasts] For the [world] is from [beasts] and it is a [beast]. Therefore [he] that is lost [has been reckoned to the] crafty one, and [that one] is from [the beasts] that came forth. They put upon [him a] garment of condemnation, for the female [had no] other garment for clothing] her seed except the one she first brought on the Sabbath.” (Genesis 3:7) (John 1:47-51) Man falls for woman, so that he can be with her.

Have some herbs with your food, and some fruit, as it is pleasing to the LORD that meat is not used. Eat grain instead of an beast or fowl. Have some wheat, or some corn instead of eating an ox.

We all have a carbon imprint. As for polyester, it shouldn’t be burned I would say, for that does more damage, yet I would accept cotton from that point on and that is what I would wear.
