Pita, Atta and Vata are elements, or concepts, from ancient Vedic medicine
TM: MIU--Maharishi International Univ. at Fairfield Iowa teaches this Ayurvedic stuff. yes, some bits of useful "science" there but there is also a lot of cow urine and feces bits in the traditional Ayurvedic practice in Bharata, the Motherland, that has been deleted for the most part for squeamish American consumers. You can call it 'bull sh*t' and you will be correct.
TM 'monks' have a history of drinking their own 'mid-stream' urine daily as a preventative cure. I am not saying it's bad for you---don't get me wrong, but--there has to be a better way to stay healthy
Good thread, David.
I have a pile of "secret" notes buried in a box from a RSE student circa 1987--1993. I will go thru them when i have time and scan for uploading.
CUT's teachings about the body/energy field was just as elaborate and idiosyncratic. There is a lot in CUT/RSE borrowed from old occultism and occultists like Fludd, Max Heindel

and
wine as a factor in evolution
Hitherto only water had been used as a drink and in the ceremonies of the Temple service, but after the submergence of Atlantis--a continent which once existed between Europe and America, where the Atlantic Ocean now lies--those who escaped destruction began to cultivate the vine and make wine, as we find narrated in the Bible story of Noah. Noah symbolizes the remnant of the Atlantean Epoch, which became the nucleus of the Fifth Race --therefore our progenitors.
The active principle of alcohol is a "spirit" and as the humanity of the earlier Epochs used the articles of food best suited to their vehicles, so this spirit was, in the Fifth Epoch, added to the foods previously used by evolving humanity. It acts upon the spirit of the Fifth Epoch man, temporarily paralyzing it, that it may know, esteem and conquer the physical world and value it at its proper worth. Thus man forgets, for the time being, his spiritual home, clinging to this form of existence, which he has previously despised, with all the tenacity born of a feeling that this is all there is--or at least, preferring the certainty of this world to taking chances on a heaven which, in his present muddled state, he does not understand.
Water only had been used in the Temples, but now this is altered. "Bacchus," a god of wine, appears and under his sway the most advanced nations forget that there is a higher life. None who offer tribute to the counterfeit spirit of wine or any alcoholic liquor (the product of fermentation and decay) can ever know anything of the higher Self--the true Spirit which is the very source of life.
All this was preparatory to the coming of Christ, and it is of the highest significance that His first act was to change "water into wine." (John ii:11.)

I had several of Heindel's (Carl von Grassoff - d 1919) works that I once read "religiously" along with a host of other crazy-making channeled or "revealed" mysteries in the late 1970s.
re recovery from RSE is a struggle but we are not so different in "evolution" from ancient man that struggled with the same nonsense or irrational belief. Our brains seem to be hardwired to be "superstitious" and any cult leader can exploit that reality.
this article gives some idea how pervasive belief in divination was:
