Solar Biology

CHAPTER XVIII.
THE PLANETS.
WE shall treat of the planets as centres of specific
creative forces and mental elements.
Solar biology agrees with phrenology in ascribing to
every part of the body its due and correspondent amount
of mental force. Thus each of the twelve departments
of the body has its own mental element, which finds its
head in the solar plexus, or gray spot
of brain matter
(located at the spinal column, in the rear of the stomach)
which rules digestion, and is also the seat of the intuitive
faculty, and centre from which the body is built up
and maintained. The organs of the cranium are also
brought
into existence through
the agency
of the solar
plexus, as a necessary agent for the selection of proper
food for the building up and control of the body in its
physical relations therefore the cranium relates almost
;
wholly to the material world and its uses, while the
solar plexus relates to the deep chemistry of nature, and
stands directly related to the cause world, and is the
medium through which the influence of the planets
is
transmitted to the body, and especially when they enter
the signs representing the seven vital functions, and
then they tend to produce physical force, animal instinct,
and intuition.
The animal world has in these functions only two
active principles, viz., physical strength and instinct:
the latter leads them to act as a delicate electro-vital
