Two Vertical Halves of the Body - (759)

Introduction

The following excerpt explains how duality is manifested in the human body.

Excerpt taken from the book “The Secret Teachings of All Ages” by Manly P. Hall.


Excerpt

“In symbolism the body is divided vertically into halves, the right half being considered as light and the left half as darkness. By those unacquainted with the true meanings of light and darkness the light half was denominated spiritual and the left half material. Light is the symbol of objectivity; darkness of subjectivity. Light is a manifestation of life and is therefore posterior to life. That which is anterior to light is darkness, in which light exists temporarily but darkness permanently. As life precedes light, its only symbol is darkness, and darkness is considered as the veil which must eternally conceal the true nature of abstract and undifferentiated Being.


End (759).
