The
faculties reveal themselves in direct reflection of the quality of
the limb that serves as their vessel...
This
is seen in the faculty of sight that is in the eye. It is according
to the material of the eye. And all is reflective of spiritual
sight.
And
a positive and negative perspective is also reflective of the
physical material of the eye. According to the mix and interplay of
the blood and water/fluid in the organ of the eye so is the name Adam
– a word made up of two parts – the aleph and dam (blood). To
the extent the dam is modified by the aleph, so it the progress of
the man.
One
who is prone to anger by nature, or one who is quiet and restful by
nature, this is due to the mix of 'water' and blood in the physical
constitution of the body.
The
limbs and organs are physical. The faculties are 'spiritual'.
The
physicality of the body, needs to have life in it to prevent
disintegration, yet we are saying it becomes a living body and you
can touch it without relating to the life within it. Its need for
vitality is concealed. You may even think it lives by itself. Human
health, you may think is entirely a matter of physicality... the
spirit of man is the principle of his health... and thereby the food
and exercise benefit him correctly...
The
faculties, like sight, hearing, emotions, mind etc are exclusively
'spiritual'.
And
yet the limb/organ becomes a participant in how the faculty
functions.
