EXPL A N A T I ON OF C H A R T I .

Digestion and Nutrition

Th is chart, in its mechanical, diagram atic form, presents asimple and understandable explanation of the process of Digestion and Nutrition.

F ood — and l iq u i ds — are tak en i nt o t he mouth where, whi l ebeing crushed, masticated and rendered small in p articles— likein a crush ing de vice at the bottom of a grinde r— a certain amountof saliva mixe s with it to prep are it for digestion. It passes thephary nx in swallowing and goes down the esophagus (or throat)to the stomach.

In the stomach the work of chu rning takes place. The l ittlevalve or open ing from the stomach to the Intestine s, c alled the

“ Pyl oru s ” remai ns part ly c los ed dur i ng t he churni ng process .After the stomach has expanded and turned the food from side toside and mixed it well, the “ Py loru s” autom atically opens (andon ly when the prop er time has come !) and the food passes intothe beg inning of the small Intestines. On the way down theIntestines there flows into the mixed food some bile from the gallbl adder (t hrough. t he bi l e duct ) and a l so s ome “ Pancreat ic f l ui d”from the pancreas.

These two fluids, m ixing w ith the food, help to “ cut” the foodand dissolve it into its prima ry “ negative elements.”

As soon as these elements enter the small Intestines they areabsorbed into the vessels which carry this negative nutrition tothe Live r, separating the fat to be sent separately through theThoraci c Duct .

N| Tho se elements or parts of the food wh ich are not absorb ed yand are considered “ waste” leave the small Intestines and enterthe large Intestine called the Colon, which almost encircles thesma ll Intestines. From the Colon the waste passes from the body.

CHART 1



EXPLANATION OF CHART 2.

Nutrition and Blood Circulation

The pu rpose of this diagram is two-fold. It is unu sua lly clear

and expl anat ory— es peci a l ly for our work .

Fir st of all, we see how the nu trition from food is taken into

the circu latory system. At the side of the chart we see the vessels

which lead from the Intestines. These connect with the Liver .

In this way all nutrition from the food we eat passes to the Liver.

Here it is fi ltered, purified and formed into what we c all “ Nega

t iv e El ement s ” of t he bl ood. - F rom 't k e L i v er t hese “ N egat i v e

Elements” pass into the principal vein/carrying the blood to the

heart.

How ever, al l fatty elements— which are separated from food

in the process of digestion and assimilation in the Intestines, do

not enter the Live r, but pass through the so-called “ Tho racic

Du ct ” and go di rect l y to the heart t o form “ L ym ph El emen t s . ”

This is shown plainly on the chart.

Now the “ Neg ative Eleme nts,” forming negative blood, enter

the right side of the heart and from there they are sent through

the two “ pulm onary arteries” to the Lun gs to be made positive.

That is, each negative blood cell is sent to the Lungs to receive

a Positive Po larity ; and from the Lun gs this vitalized blood

return s to the left side of the heart and there it is pum ped out

through the arteries to all parts of the body. As this Positive

blood, vitalized, travels through the system it uses up its vitality

or Positive Polari ly and again becomes only Negative cells or

Negative blood. Whe re it changes from positive to Negative it

does its greatest work in what are called “c ap il laries. ” The

Negative blood must therefore return once more to the heart and

from there be sent again to the Lungs to be vitalized with a newPositive Po larity. Th is is a continuous process.

Two C HART S2




Principal Arteries

In our use of the blood for healing purposes as well as for all

mystic or psych ic purposes, we deal with the vitalized or Po si

tive blood. Th is is the blood which travels throug h the Arte ries

of the human b ody. Arte ries carry the blood— the vitalized bloodfrom the heart to every part of the body to car ry on the con struc

tive work of nature. Veins, on the other hand, return the devit

alized blood to the heart, and do not concern us so greatly.

The diagram on chart 3, shows only the princ ipal arteries.

From the upper part of the heart rises the great Aortic Arc h

(indicated by the figure 1. See also diagram on chart 2). From

this Arch or large vessel, branches all the arteries supplying the

great amount of vitalized blood to the body. 1

Every artery carrying blood to the most minute part of the

body, joins one of the princ ipal arteries shown on this diagram .

In o ur w ork, whenever it is necessary to know the source of blood

for any small artery, one need only refer to any medical or anatomical book, or dictionary, and see what princip al artery it con

nects with, and then trace it to the p rincip al artery on this dia

gram.

General Nervous System

The purpose of this chart is to show, in a mechanical fashion,

the arrang eme nt of the vertebrae of the spine and the location of

the nervous systems.

In the upper diagrarii f ive vertebrae with their ribs are drawnme chan ically as though they were sections of some metal frame

work of a piece of ma chiner y. The centre square s represent the

vertebrae while attached to either side of these vertebrae are the

ribs. The vertebrae represent the sections of a spina l column

(see Chart 6).

Through the centre of the vertebrae passes the spinal nerve

cord— a heavy cord consisting of nerves,— the top of which is the

Medulla Oblongata ,(as shown in the upper diagram on Chart 8)

and is connected with the brain. Th is cord is the centre of the

general nervous system.

Bra nch ing out from this cord, between each vertebra, are

smaller nerves, called spinal nerves, which connect on each side

with the Sympathetic Trunks.

There are two Sym pathetic Tru nk s, one on each side of the

vertebrae of the spina l column (on the inside of the ribs) and

running parallel with the middle spinal cord, as shown in the

diagram.

Each Sympathethic T run k consists of a heavy cord of many

nerves,- with “ Ga ng lia” opposite nearly every rib. From each

Ganglion are two nerves, called “ Ra m i,” connecting the spinal

nerves to the Sympathetic System. And, from each “ Ga nglion ”

are Sympathe tic nerves goin g to vario us plexu ses of organs,

muscles or vessels of the body.

Details of Sympathetic System

In the upper dra win g we see a section of the .hum an body

opened and the organs and m uscles removed to show the Sym

p ath etic Trunk C o rd o n th e right side of the vertebrae.

Just beneath each rib we see the spinal nerve running parallelwith the rib. From these spin al n erves we also see the two

“ Ra m i” uniting w ith the Gang lia of the heavy Sympathetic

T r u n k .

A few vessels are also shown, and it w ill be noticed how the

Sympathetic Nerves from the various Ga ng lia branch out over

the wa ll of the oesophagu s, the rig ht bronc hus an d the aorta

artery. This shows how a “ plexus” covers the wall of a vessel or

organ (as also shown on Chart 4.)

The lower diagram shows an enlarged view of a section of the

Sympathetic Trunk, giving an exact picture of the Ganglia, their

size, form and location.

(It will prove interesting to the deep student to read in varioustext books on the “ Nervous System” the diversified explanations

and theories of the purposes and formation of “ Ga ng lia” and

“ N e u r o n e s. ” )

Names of Vertebrae and Nerves

The Spinal Column consists of 25 or 26 pieces in the average

body. The 25th piece— at the bottom of the colum n— may have

the 26th section loose ly a ttache d to the end of it, or this 26th

section may form part of the 25th. How ever, orig ina lly, at some

time, the large 25th section consisted of 9 definite divisions, each

having the same purpose as each of the separate vertebra above.

Therefore we continue to look upon the Spinal Colum n as con

sisting of 33 sections (that is, counting the so-called “ atlas” as

the f irst section). Upon the f irst section— the “ Atla s” rests the

sku ll, which , from one viewp oint, forms anothe r section of the

spine, and would therefore make a 35th section.

Howeve r, using the plan or diagram of the spine as usua lly

adopted by all text books on Anatomy, we have, as shown in the

two diagra ms opposite, 33 to 34 sections or d ivision s. Thro ugh

this Spine runs the Spinal Cord of the general or central nervous

system. An d branchin g, out from between each vertebra or section of the Spine, are two Spin al Nerves. These come from the

Spinal Cord run ning down through the centre of the Vertebrae,

and pass righ t and left from the Spine. Jo inin g to these Spina l

nerves are the two “ Ra m i” on each side. (Re fer to the lower

diagram on Chart 4.)

In our work we have a “ Nerve N ote” and a “ Music Note*’ for

each of the Spina l Nerves between the Vertebrae. These are

plainly shown on the diagram opposite, as well as the universally

adopted names for each vertebra.

with their extensions leading to Plexuses numbered i, 2, 3, 4, 5,

6, 7, 8*and 9, and to two other Gan glia numbered iA and n , and

to one spina l nerve num bered 10. We also note that from the

second Rami one Sympathetic Nerve reaches out independent of

the Ganglion and connects with the nerve ending at iA.

The 4th, 5th and 6th Ram i connect w ith the M iddle Cerv ical

Ganglion and this Ganglion has two nerves extending from it

leading to Plexuses No. 12 and 13.

The 7th and 8th Rami connect with the Inferior Cervical

Gan glion from w hich 5 nerves extend leading to Plexuses No. 13,

18, and to spinal nerves No. 17, 19 and 20, and indirectly to

spinal nerve No. 22, which connects with Plexus No. 23.

Between the Midd le Ce rvical Ga nglion and the Inferior

Ce rvical Ganglion there is a nerve acting as a “ loop” and con

necting the two ganglia as shown on the diagram. From this

“ loop” there are three Sympathetic Nerves lead ing to Plex us No.

14, and spinal nerves 15A and 15B.

From the 6th and from the 7th Rami we see Sympathetic

Nerves extending independent of the Ganglia to Spinal Nerve No.

Nerves Nos. 19 and 20, and leading to Spinal N erve No. 21.

The 10th, n th , 12th and 13th Ram i have separate Gan glia,

but these are connected by fou r Sym pathetic Nerves which lead

to Plex us No. 24, and connect ind irec tly by way of Nerve N o.

Please note that each Plexu s and Ne rve e nding is numbered.In the lectures given by the Masters in the work of the 7th Degree

and higher, reference is made to the numbers given on these two

Reference to the upper drawing on the opposite page will help

the student to understand the location of the Vertebrae in the

neck. One should note that in the neck the vertebrae lie far from

the surface and cannot be felt as is possible in the thorax of thebody. The 7th and 8th Cervica l Vertebra e are usua lly the f irst

to come near the surface of the body. The one most pro mine nt
