3] The Vital Body:

   The vital body of plant, animal, and man extends beyond the periphery of the dense body as the Etheric Region, which is the vital body of a planet, extends beyond its dense part.

Describe briefly the vital body of man. (The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, page 59-60.)

4] Relation of Dense and Vital Bodies:

   The vital body contains millions of points which enter into the hollow centers of the dense atoms, imbuing them vital force.

The dense body is an exact copy of the vital body, with one exception. What is that exception? (The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, page 60.)

   When a person is drowning, freezing, or falling from a height, the vital body leaves the dense body, the atoms of which become temporarily inert. When anesthetics are used the vital body is partially driven out. This same phenomena may be observed in the case of a materializing medium.

Describe the effects of separating the vital from the dense body. (The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, pages 61-62.)

6] The Source of Vital Force:

   Vital force is to the nervous system what the force of electricity is to a telegraph system. The Ego, the brain, and the nervous system may be in seemingly perfect order, but if the vital force is lacking to carry the message of the Ego through the nerves to the muscles, the dense body will remain inert.

What is the source of our vital force and how does it gain entrance to the dense body? (The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, pages 62-63.)

7] The Vital Body and Health:

   During health the vital body specializes a superabundance of vital force, which, after passing through a dense body, radiates in straight lines in every direction from the periphery thereof.

How do these radiations counteract disease? (The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, pages 63-64.)

1] The two main regions of the World of Thought are: Region of Concrete Thought and Region of Abstract Thought.

2] The four divisions of the Region of Concrete Thought are:

1] Continental Region.
2] Oceanic Region.
3] Aerial Region.
4] Archetypal Region.

3] The Archetypes and forces found in these four regions are:

1] Archetypes of form.
2] Archetypes of universal vitality.
3] Archetypes of desires and emotions.
4] Archetypal forces and the human mind.

4] The germinal ideas found in these three regions are those of desire and emotion, of life, and of form.

5] The Region of Abstract Thought is reflected in the World of Desire; the World of Life Spirit is reflected in the Etheric Region of the Physical World; the World of Divine Spirit is reflected in the Chemical Region of the Physical World.

6] Let a spherical sponge represent the Chemical Region or dense earth. Sand permeating the sponge and extending a little beyond it represents the Etheric Region. Water immersing the sponge and sand and extending somewhat beyond represents the Desire World. The Thought World is represented by the air in the water, extending to the confines of a spherical glass container in which all are placed.

  (b) We are correlated to the other solar systems by the World of Divine Spirit.
