Impure and Poisoned Blood

“Men will continue to have impure and poisoned blood, so long as they propagate unclean thoughts.”

This is another one where we’ll want to separate Allen’s philosophical point from the literal medical claim. “Poisoned blood” is very strong language, especially through a modern health lens.

The core idea I see underneath it is: What we repeatedly allow to live in our minds can eventually affect how we feel and function physically.
