"Children of the Skin"

THE 5 SENSES ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE SKIN

[Beginning]
"We possess five sense organs, each of which perceives a particular aspect
of matter.

[Ending]
A student of physiognomy can tell a person’s intellectual tendencies from
the shape of his NOSE, and his emotional tendencies from the shape of his
MOUTH.

As for the EARS, they represent the higher mental body, the Causal body,
whereas the EYES represent the Divine body..."

 Chapter 1. Far fallen seed

[First paragraph]
Creamy white with mottled caerulean, soft like wax, the adaptive skin of a
Mantichaena man began to flake and discolor in the abusive heat of a
waterless day; a moist heat burned the restless sands and melted the sky as
the stars changed and the season called Mercy transformed to that of
Sanguine. That is to say the star of Quetzuaul rose to*[o?]* high in the
firmament for its light to reach Maengir, and that of the sovereign
Ephielipax fell closer to touch it. The time of growth and goodness began
for the living world.
