The threefold division of man's constitution,
as illustrated in the twelve signs of
the Zodiac, has long been known as triune in
its nature, such as spirit, soul, and body,
correspondential in their relationship of
father, mother, and son, and, according to
the Hermetic philosophers, objective,
subjective, and passive, or sleeping—the
state of inertia.
The corporeal nature or animal soul of man
is formed in the life of the physical body;
hence man has his natural animal soul from
the life of the objective natural man and of
the human body, formed by man himself.
The spiritual soul, or the Divine human, is
the immortal individuality, which is formed
by the Divine breath, Spirit, the Holy
Ghost—essential soul-action from God, the
life-principle of the universe in its localized
and physical manifestation. There is no such thing as chance in natural and spiritual law.
Every man and woman has a spiritual
mission somewhere along life's journey, and
it is for this mission God has created each
individual.
From the glowing and the growing of the
spiritual or immortal soul springs
individuality. From the reason, mind, and
will of the physical and corporeal man, and
from the desires, appetites, and phantasies of
the natural animal man, arise all the strifes
in a human being. Hence men claim "life is
a warfare"; and so it is—a strife of the immortal
soul to ripen out, and of the spiritual
principle to illuminate the man; a strife of
the rational or intellectual human will,
which becomes dogmatic, often intolerant; a
strife of the animal man, with his desires,
ambitions, and appetites. Life is motion and
action. Not to do is death. Life is kindled
only by life, and, like the waters of the sea,
freshens only when it ascends to heaven.
There is a natural mind and will, which
are driven and tossed about by the planetary
storms and solar fluids. This mind is
distinguished from the intellectual reasoning principle, for there is a
mind more interior than the animal mind,
which is the human understanding through
reason and experience. This is also
quickened by the solar fluids or planetary
action, for it is the genius of the natural man.
And there is a still more interior mind, the
spiritual, which is absolute over all earthly
or planetary conditions, which glows and
continues to ripen the divine human into
celestial man, whose finality is angelhood.
The hidden forces of the universe are more potent than those we can see and handle is a fact that the world is now beginning to accept. In this 179-page ebook, learn the influence of the Domains, Zodiacal Signs, Planets, and Stars upon human life.
