2. Vital forces. These are often regarded by the materialists as intangible and therefore not material at all.

astral or emotional sentient body and the mental body, constituted of mind-stuff, are all of them material and are the substance of the form side of life. As the basis of correct understanding, it should be noted that the cell life to which we have above referred is coordinated, influenced and vitalised by the blood stream, that intricate system which interpenetrates every part of the body, is responsible for its welfare and demonstrates in a manner not yet truly comprehended the fact that the "blood is the life". The blood is an aspect of energy, as is the sap in the vegetable kingdom.
The sympathetic nervous system, that marvellous apparatus of sensation, is closely related to the emotional or astral body. The contact is made via the solar plexus, just as the vitality, governing the quality of the blood stream, makes its contact via the heart. In the heart is the centre of physical plane
existence. The cerebrospinal system works in close relation to the chitta or mind stuff. Therefore we have the following to consider:
1. Cell life--------------Blood stream----------------------- Heart centre -----------Thymus gland. 2. Sensory life---------Sympathetic nervous system----- Solar plexus centre ---Pancreas.
3. Mental life ----------Cerebro-spinal system ------------ Ajna centre ------------Pituitary body. 4. Vital life-------------Seven centres ---------------------- --------------------------Spleen.
This, as you see, governs the manifestations of the quaternary, but there are other aspects of humanity which manifest through the objective form and which complete the entire man and make the seven of his manifold objective existence.
5. Self-conscious ------upper brain ------------ Head centre ------------------------- Pineal gland.
6. Self-expression -----lower brain ------------ Throat centre ----------------------- Thyroid.
7. Self-perpetuation---sex organs ------------- Sacral centre------------------------Reproductive organs. 8. Self-assertion -------entire man ------------- Centre at base of spine ------------ Adrenals.

You will notice that eight factors are here enumerated, and it is here that many of the schools go astray. The heading 'vital life' is a comprehensive one, but it must be remembered that it relates entirely to the physical vitalisation of man through the lowest aspect of the centres. This vital life of the universe of matter enters into the human organism through the spleen.
