Esoteric Healing - Chapter IV - Some Questions Answered





On the SpleenThe spleen is the most
important agent of the life force, but it is the life force inherent in matter itself,
independently of form. It is therefore closely related to the planetary physical body. It
is the externalization of a very important center. [335]
There are
three centers in the body (with allied externalizations) which are basically essential to
life.
The heart center and the physical heart itself. In these the life principle (the Spirit
aspect) is located. Life and Spirit are one.
The head center and the brain in which the consciousness principle (the Soul
aspect) is located.
The pranic center and the spleen, in which the life of matter itself (the Matter aspect)
is located.

You must bear in mind that, as H.P.B. points out, the dense physical body is not a
principle. It is atomic matter which is held in form by etheric substance, under the
control of the soul. It is automatic in its response, and reacts to the outer world of
impacts and inner impulses, but has no initiatory life of its own. It is composed of units
of energy, as is all else in nature, and has its own individual life; its focus for the
distribution of energy for this life is the spleen.
In the spleen, the negative life of matter and the living energy of the positive
etheric body, are brought together, and then a "spark," as it is called, is made
between the inner living bodies of man (through the medium of the etheric body) and the
physical plane. It is a reflection on the lowest rung of the evolutionary ladder, as far
as man is concerned, and corresponds to the relation of soul and body or - on a higher
turn of the spiral - of spirit and matter.
