Smith also says that the true source of the Jordan is "Underground in Phiala (meaning vial or bowl), and on the right hand side." "It is from this 'cave' that the Jordan commences its course above ground." Compare this description with the anatomy of the head and its meaning becomes clear. Smith tells us that the upper part of the slope is alive with bursting fountains and gushing streams that find their way into the Jordan. These in Anatomy refer to the glands in the brain that connect with the spinal cord. Read in Smith's Bible Dictionary the wonderful de- scription of this River.
GENESARETH: Gardens of the Prince; a crescent- shaped (Moon-shaped) plain on the western shore of Lake Genesareth, which is also the Sea of Galilee. The Sea of Galilee is the semi-lunar ganglion thru which the seed or Jesus passes to reach the spinal cord. The Jordan enters in at the North and passes out at the South. It abounds in fish.
DAUGHTER: Bath. Anything regarded as feminine.
GALILEE: A circle or circuit.
NAZARETH: Shoot, sprout, twig.
CAPERNAUM: Village of Nahum (consolation).
CANA: Place of reeds; Lungs.
JERICHO: Place of fragrance; Cerebellum.

JOURNEY OF JOSEPH AND MARY
THE MARVELOUS STORY OF THE JOURNEY OF JOSEPH AND
MARY TO JERUSALEM TO PAY THEIR TAXES
PHYSIOLOGICALLY EXPLAINED
ON EITHER side of the Thalamus, in the head, is a gland, known in physiology as the Pineal, on the posterior, and the Pituitary on the anterior side of the Thalamus.
The Pineal is cone shaped, and secretes a yellow or golden fluid. The Pituitary Body, opposite it, is ellipsoid in shape, and contains a whitish secretion, like milk.
The fluids that are found in both these bodies come from the same source, namely, the Claustrum, which means "barrier" or "cloister," and is referred to as cloister for the very good reason that a precious and holy thing is secreted or secluded there. Saint Claus, or Santa Claus, is another term for this precious fluid, which is indeed a holy gift in the body of each one of us.
The precious fluid which flows down from the Claus- trum separates, part going into the Pineal gland and part to the Pituitary body, and these, being special laboratories of the head, differentiate the fluid from the Claustrum, and it takes on the colors above mentioned, and in the Pineal Gland becomes yellow and has electric properties. The Pituitary Body, having the milk-like fluid, has mag- netic properties.
These two glands are the male and female, the Joseph and Mary of the physical body, and are the par- ents of the spiritual son born in the solar plexus of each human being, commencing about the age of twelve.
This yellow and white material, which is the milk and honey referred to in the Bible, the children of Israel having been given the promise of a return to this land flowing with milk and honey, at last reaches the solar plexus via semi-lunar ganglia (see chart), the Bethle-

hem of the physical body. In Hebrew, Bethlehem means "house" (Beth) of bread (lehem). "I am the bread of life," said the allegorical Jesus.
In the solar plexus is a thimble-shaped depression—a CAVE—or manger, and in this is deposited the psycho- physical seed, or holy child, born of this immaculate con- ception. This psycho-physical seed is also called "fish," as it has the odor of fish and is formed in the midst of the waters, the pure water. "Jesus is a fish in the midst of the waters"—St. Augustine. Before birth the human foetus floats, like a fish, in the fluids by which it is sur- rounded. And as it is with the child formed on the generative plane, so it is with the spiritual child born in the solar-plexus—the Bethlehem. Joseph and Mary, by furnishing the material for the spiritual child which was to redeem the child or body formed in generation, paid the symbolical redemption money.
Holy Ghost—Greek for breath. The breath, descend- ing the pneumo-gastric nerve into the solar center, enters the manger where Joseph and Mary are, and where is Jesus the Seed literally "conceived by the Holy Ghost."

MAN
"God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions."
THERE is an automatic procedure within the human body, which, if not interfered with, will do away with sickness, trouble, sorrow and death, as stated in the Bible.
Truly, mankind, or the natural man, seeks many ways and means to prevent the upright, perfect, automatic way from "accomplishing that whereunto it was sent."
The natural man forever seeks pleasurable sensation, which is at enmity with God. Physical sensation (the "Pleasures of sin for a season," or limited duration, re- ferred to by Paul, are under the law, or below the solar plexus, hence, "He that is led by the spirit is not under the law."
The 21st letter of the Hebrew alphabet, "schin" or ''shin," lacks one of the complete alphabet, "tav," the 22nd letter, meaning the "cross."
Herewith are given a few of the Greek and Hebrew characters that have been translated, "sin, or falling short." Hebrew: "asham, het, chet, hata, avon" (trans- lated iniquity more than 200 times), means "Conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity" (or sin), pesha or pasha.
In Greek we find this word written as "harmartia, proanartano, anamartetos, anomia, anomos, parabaimo." Any act, coming under the meaning of sin, retards or prevents the automatic action of the seed, which, if not interfered with, lifts up a portion (one-tenth) of the life essence (oil or secretion) that constantly flows down the spinal cord (a "Strait and narrow way") and trans- mutes it, thus increasing its power many fold and per- petuating the body indefinitely, or until the Ego desires to

dissolve it by rates of motion set in action by its inherent will.
If the allegories of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, as well as Paul's Epistles and Acts of the Apostles teach any- thing, they teach the mastery and transmutation of the human body by anyone who obeys the physiological guide book—the whole book— the Holy Bible.
But let the reader observe that each of the 66 books, as well as an almost countless number of ancient books of all races and languages, teach the same mathematical and physiological facts.
Man has turned the mighty power he possesses to every object and principle of force in the universe except himself, the greatest miracle of all. When man focuses his divine thinking lens upon himself, he will realize that he is an epitome of unlimited Cosmic Energy. Then the "Heavens will roll together as a scroll" and reveal the Real Man as "the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world."

IT:
THE ETERNITY OF PERFECTION
A CHILD brought to its mother a piece of ice and asked: "What is this?"
The mother answered, "it is ice."
Again the child asked, "What is there in ice?"
The mother answered: "There is water in the ice."
The child desired to find the water in the ice, and it procured a hammer, pounded the piece of ice into little bits and the warm air soon changed all the ice to water. The child was grievously disappointed, for the ice that the child supposed contained water had disappeared.
And the child said, "Where is the ice that contained this water?"
And so it came to pass
