The Three Bodies of Man as the Basis of Polarity Principles in Action

The five physical senses and the body seem to be self-evident as the grossest factor of life by which man exists and acts. The question now arises, what animates these forms and what makes them live and function differently? If we shut off the breathing for a few minutes only, life departs from the entire organism which seemed so strong and active a few minutes before.

Is this subtle form of life which inter-penetrates the entire physical body, including every cell and structure, not another body or form of life more refined and etherial in essence than this gross form of matter? Obviously it is, since it is the life form in the gross, which inter-penetrates it and is represented at every point and function. This vital layer of wireless rays of energy waves is the breathing and living form of energy within the gross physical one, just as a hand fits within the glove and animates it. When we speak of a living creature, we have in our mind a form and a life. But how many of us have ever thought of a living body as two poles of one form - the life principle as the positive pole and the form principle as the negative pole?

This vital form of life is of a finer substance and superior to the physical. It is independent of the grosser form. It is the vehicle of finer energy waves and currents which enliven the grosser particles of matter and its fields of pattern forms. Could we accept a lifeless, material form as a being? Would we think of a Zombie without intelligence as a human being?

The gross body is made of two pattern fields or halves. The right half of the body is a positive pattern field in total, made up of subsidiary fields. The left half of the body is a negative pattern field, having subsidiary polarity fields in its make-up. The upper portion of the body, above the diaphragm, is the positive field equivalent unto the heavens which give air, warmth and energy for the sustenance of life. The diaphragm is the firmament which separates the above from the below and is its neuter [neutral] field; the portion below the diaphragm is the neuter [neutral] pole equivalent to the earth which nourishes all creatures, just as the neuter [neutral] pole in the body nourishes all cells. The pelvis is the negative pole.

The vital life-breath current flows through all three fields and polarizes them into active functions. The current crosses over in each field or oval of matter space in the body, producing a neuter [neutral] center of function in each field. These fields and their circles or ovals and centers are clearly illustrated in Book II, Chart No. 1, and in Chart No. 6 of this book. By linking these five ovals in a connected line or current and crossing them over at each center, the mysterious serpentine force of the Caduceus is brought to light. This is the oldest symbol of the chain effect of the vital body in the gross physical one, and it is the sign and symbol of the physician from ancient times up to the present.

The wise men of old understood clearly that it was the vital life breaths which animated and controlled the gross physical body and its function, by the finer forces of Wireless Polarity. This energy current links the opposite fields and multiplies its force by cross-over in each Polarity Field, and steps down each current for specific function in the finer essence, active in the grosser fields. The ancient physicians tabulated the effects of this life force of the sun by noting the breaths and pulse beats which varied with each field and current flowing through it, and each was recognized by its quality and kind.

The physical body as the negative pole of the fields of action has been briefly described. The vital body as the life breath has also been duly considered as the positive pole of action,
