11. Each of these triplicities corresponds to the three parts of man's nature:

1. Physical nature: The skin and bony structure are the analogy to man’s dense and Etheric body.

2. Soul nature: The blood vessels and circulatory system are the analogy to that all pervading Soul which penetrates to all parts of the solar system, as the blood goes to all parts of the body.

3. Spirit nature: The nervous system, as it energises and acts throughout the physical man is the correspondence to the energy of Spirit.

12. In the head we have the analogy to the Spirit aspect, the directing will, the Monad, the One:

1. The brain with its five ventricles is the analogy to the physical form which the Spirit animates in connection with man, the fivefold sumtotal which is the medium through which the Spirit on the Physical plane has to express itself.

2. The three glands in the head are closely related to the Soul or psychic nature (higher and lower).

3. The two eyes are the Physical plane correspondences to the Monad, who is will and love-wisdom, or Atma-Buddhi, according to the occult terminology.

13. In the upper body we have an analogy to the triple Soul nature:

1. The throat, corresponding to the third creative aspect or the body nature, the active intelligence of the Soul.

2. The heart, the love-wisdom of the Soul, the Buddhi or Christ principle.

3. The lungs, the analogy for the breath of life, is the correspondence to Spirit.

14. In the lower torso again we have this triple system carried out.

1. The sex organs, the creative aspect, the fashioner of the body.

2. The stomach as the physical manifestation of the Solar Plexus is the analogy to the Soul.

3. The spleen, the receiver of energy and therefore the Physical plane expression of the center which receives this energy, is the analogy to the energizing Spirit.

We have dealt with the four above the diaphragm—the three centers through which the Spiritual Triad must eventually work, and the synthetic center, the Ajna center, which finally expresses the integrated personality and becomes the direct agent of the Soul. We now have three more centers to consider, all of them to be found below the diaphragm—the Solar Plexus center, the sacral center, and the center at the Base of the Spine. The most important for all aspirants at this time is the Solar Plexus center; the most active—generally speaking— in humanity as a whole, is still the sacral center; the most quiescent center in the body (from the angle of the Spiritual man) is the basic center.

5. The Solar Plexus Center: This is located well below the shoulder blades in the spine and is exceedingly active. In Atlantean days, it was brought to a high stage of development, just as in Aryan days, the Throat center is being rapidly awakened. This center is peculiarly related to two other centers: The heart and the Ajna center, and they form at this time an interesting triangle of energies in the human body and one which is receiving much attention from the Hierarchy. There is a downflow of energy from the Ajna center to the heart from the Soul, just in so far as the aspirant is in touch with his Soul. This leads to three things:

1. A stimulation of the Heart center.

2. A responsive reaction from the heart which evokes a stimulation of the Ajna center and produces eventually the recognition of group consciousness by the personality.

3. The evocation of the Heart center in the head.

All this, however, is facilitated by the advanced development of the Solar Plexus in the aspirant, which has its own effect upon the heart and a reciprocal effect upon the Ajna center.

Just as there is, astrologically, a Science of Triangles, so there will later be developed a science of triangles in relation to the human system. But the time is not yet. I but give occasional indications of such a science upon which the intuition of disciples may play.
