CHAPTER II
THE VITAL BODY
Evolution and General Purpose
The vital body is the second oldest of our vehicles,
having its original germ given by the Lords of Wisdom
in the Sun Period. In the Sun Revolution of the Moon
Period it was modified to render it capable of being
interpenetrated by a desire body, also of
accommodating itself to the nervous system, muscle,
skeleton, etc.
During the Sun Revolution of the Earth Period the
vital body was reconstructed to accommodate the
germinal mind. It was fashioned at this time more in
the likeness of the dense body, its organization at
present being next to the dense body in efficiency.
Further reconstruction was done in the
Hyperborean Epoch of the Earth Period when the
Lords of Form appeared with the Angels and clothed
man’s dense form, then a baggy-shaped object, with a
vital body.
The dense body is built into the matrix of the vital
body during antenatal life, and with one exception it is
an exact copy, molecule for molecule, of the vital
body. All through life the vital body is the builder and
restorer of the dense form, its tendency being to soften,
as well as to build. Its chief expression is the blood and
the glands, also the sympathetic nervous system,
