The great Law of Correspondences (or Hermetic Axiom)— “As above, so below”—stated in the preamble of the Emerald Tablet of Hermes, indicates that by increasing our knowledge of the world most familiar to us—i.e., ourselves, the lesser world or microcosm—we are better able to infer knowledge of the worlds immediately above and below us—i.e., the greater world or macrocosm in which “we live and move and have our being”; and the microscopic world of organs, cells, atoms and molecules, elements and fundamental particles or quantum events which our being encompasses. The meaning of the ancient admonition “Man, know thyself” becomes evident from consideration of the above idea.
The study of the immediate world of ourselves can be divided into two aspects: (1) the objective side or personality which consists of four bodies of form—the gross physical, the etheric or vital, the desire or emotional (astral), and the concrete mental or lower mind; and (2) the subjective side or spiritual Ego which consists of three qualities—Will or pure Being, Wisdom or pure Knowing, and Active Intelligence (abstract or higher mind) or pure Doing. The author has endeavored to deal with all of these aspects of Man, the Microcosm in these Studies in Occult Anatomy—which were originally given as a series of twelve lectures. The intent has been to cover the subject as completely as possible, from the metaphysical and esoteric standpoint as well as conventional medical and scientific views.
The present series is divided into three volumes of four parts each, and draws from a number of sources which are given in the bibliography. These volumes constitute one of the most extensive treatments of this topic available.
