The Occult Anatomy of Man

About this book

The human body becomes a symbolic map in The Occult Anatomy of Man. Organs, nerve centres and invisible faculties are given places within a larger scheme of spiritual development.

The book approaches anatomy through an occult understanding of the person, describing correspondences that medicine does not recognise as physical structures. Its claims belong to the author's spiritual system. The images and terminology show how easily the familiar language of bodily functions could be extended into a theory of hidden centres and powers. Every part of the visible body acquires a second, esoteric life.
