Introduction
The following excerpt explains why
the human body has ten fingers and ten toes, as well as explaining the whole construction
of the hand as a map of Divinity.
Excerpt taken from the book “The Secret
Teachings of All Ages” by Manly P. Hall.
Excerpt
“The fingers and toes also have special significance. The toes
represent the Ten Commandments of the physical law and the fingers the Ten
Commandments of the spiritual law. The four fingers of each hand represent the
four elements and the three phalanges of each finger represent the divisions of
the element, so that in each hand there are twelve parts to the fingers, which
are analogous to the signs of the zodiac, whereas the two phalanges and base of
each thumb signify the threefold Deity. The first phalange corresponds to the
creative aspect, the second to the preservative aspect, and the base to the
generative and destructive aspect. When the hands are brought together, the
result is the twenty-four Elders and the six Days of Creation.”
End (758).
