Book excerpt: The lymphatic cells issuing from nests of adipose tissue, and squeezing themselves through the epithelium cells up to the surface of the intestines, absorb therein the drops of fat and loaded with their prey, travel homeward to the lymphatic canals. This faculty of selecting their special food, of assimilating the useful, and of rejecting the useless and the harmful, is common to all the unicellular organisms. Latin Lymph comes from the Greek Nymph, an inferior Goddess. The Muses were sometimes called nymphs by the poets. Hence, all persons in a state of rapture, whether seers, poets, madmen, etc., is said to be caught by nymphs. In India, Lymph-Nymph is the Goddess of Moisture fabled to be born from the pores of an aquatic deity, whether the Ocean God, Varuna, or some minor River God. The Jews consulted demons through small golden statues, shaped as nymphs. When invoked, the nymphs showed them their tasks from hour to hour. Sylphs, Gnomes, Nymphs, and Salamanders, by the alliance which they may contract with man, might be made partakers of immortality. Certain mediums boast of “spirit” husbands and wives. (Consultation and deliberation with “spirits” spells the end of wisdom.) Every Principle in the Constitution of Man has its seven aspects, and every cell and organ, its seven components. A Principle may be related to an organ of the Body. However, the visible Body is not a Principle, it is the medium of every Principle and Aspect. The Liver and the Spleen cells are the most subservient to the action of our personal mind. The Heart is the organ through which the Higher Ego acts through the Lower Self. Liver and Stomach correspond to Kama-Desire. Liver is the General; Spleen, the Aide-de-camp. The Spleen is the abode of Protean model of the gross physical body, and its subtle counterpart. It is closely linked with Kama-Prana, and inseparable from it.
