THE DENSE BODY 29signs, Pisces. When the skeleton was outside our flesh,
consciousness was dull as in the crustacea. By getting
outside the bony structure we have gained a much
higher grade of consciousness, and by spiritualizing
this inner skeleton through the medium of the blood,
we extract the essence of all we have learned in the
past epochs and transform it to usable soul power in
the Jupiter Period. To interfere in this work is a crime
against the soul.
Since woman has the positive vital body, she
matures earlier than the male, and the parts which
remain plant-like, such as the hair, grow longer and
more luxuriant. Naturally a positive vital body will
generate more blood than the negative vital body
possessed by the male, hence we have in woman a
greater blood pressure, which it is necessary to relieve
by the periodical flow, and when that ceases at the
climacteric period there is a second growth in woman,
particularly well expressed in the saying, “fat and
forty.”
The impulses of the desire body drive the blood
through the system at varying rates of speed, according
to the strength of the emotions. Woman, having an
excess of blood, works under much higher pressure
than man, and while this pressure is relieved by the
periodical flow, there are times when it is necessary to
have an extra outlet; then the tears of woman, which
arewhite bleeding, act as a safety valve to remove the
excessive fluid. Men, although they may have as
strong emotions as women, are not given to tears
because they have no more blood than they can
comfortably use.
