The Splendour of Tiphareth: the Yoga of the Sun (The Complete Works, #10)

by Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

A comparison of the solar plexus and the brain shows that they are both made of the same kinds of tissue, grey and white, but that the relative positions of the two kinds of tissue are reversed. The grey matter of the brain is on the surface, and the white inside, whereas in the solar plexus it is just the reverse. It is the grey matter that enables man to understand, and the white that enables him to feel. The grey matter of the brain, therefore, being on the outside, disposes us to understand the outer aspects of reality, whereas that of the solar plexus disposes us to grasp the inner, more profound spiritual dimension. This is one of the most important lessons of initiatic Science.
