the right.
Apart from this, when involved in spiritual activities such as
throwing the coins to fathom the I Ching, it is traditionally the
left hand that is used (the hand of the heart). The same applies
when cutting Tarot cards. A connection may be established with
the fact that the left side of the body is related to the right
hemisphere of the brain, more intuitive than analytic, and
therefore more spiritually inclined. And in Hatha-yoga the main
circulation of energy on the left side of the body is iḍā-nāḍī, the
lunar nāḍī, which creates an internalization of energies and an
opening into inner spaces. Rudolf Steiner has made the prediction
that in the distant future of humanity, the left hand will become
predominant, to the point where the right hand will ultimately be
atrophied.


15.4 Phase 2b: awareness and seeingness of the organs


As your clairvoyance increases you will, while practising this
phase, have fascinating visions of your organs that will be
accompanied by a deep intuitive understanding of their functions.
Apart from its healing value, this process leads to a different
knowledge of the organs. You will make many unexpected
discoveries that will throw quite a different light on certain
common facts of anatomy, physiology and pathology. The path of
the seers is full of surprises.
The more you clairvoyantly perceive the organs inside yourself,
the more you will be able to perceive the same inside others – a
great help for diagnosis! An essential fact about perception in
general is that whenever something is seen or felt inside yourself,
it can also be seen or felt in any other person. ‘Inside’ or ‘outside’
does not make much difference in terms of clairvoyant abilities.
Why this particular sequence of organs? The hermetic (alchemical)
tradition establishes correspondences between the organs of our
body and the planets of the solar system. Man is the microcosm,
the universe is the macrocosm. Each organ incarnates in the body
all the symbols and functions of its corresponding planet. The
sequence of the organs, as indicated in phase 2b, follows the
traditional sequence of the planetary spheres: Saturn (spleen),
Jupiter (liver), Mars (gallbladder), Sun (heart), Venus (kidneys),
Mercury (lungs), Moon (uterus).
A more advanced stage consists of being able to perceive the
planetary forces behind the physical organs, turning this
