Faculties in the Bible — Hidden Meaning & Symbolism

faculties. Meta. The twelve faculties of mind in man, as symbolized by the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ, with their location in the body, are as follows: Faith--Peter--center of head, pineal gland. Strength--Andrew--small of back. Judgment--James, son of Zebedee--in lower part of solar plexus. Love--John--back of heart, cardiac center. Power Philip--root of tongue. Imagination--Bartholomew, or Nathanael--between the eyes. Understanding--Thomas--front brain. Will Matthew--center front brain. Order--James, son of Alphæus--navel. Zeal--Simon the Canaanite--lower back head, medulla. Elimination, or renunciation--Thaddaeus--lower part of back. Appropriation or life conservation--Judas--generative function. The names of these faculties are not arbitrary--they can be expanded or changed to suit a broader understanding of their full nature. For example, Philip, at the root of the tongue, governs taste; he also controls the action of the larynx, and all power vibrations. So the term power expresses but a small part of his official capacity. ________________________ Following Entry: false prophets
