PLEXUSES, PLANES AND SO ON The primal consciousness in man is pre-mental, and has nothing to do with cognition.

It is the same as in the animals.

And this pre-mental consciousness remains as long as we live the powerful root and body of our consciousness.

The mind is but the last flower, the _cul de sac_.
The first seat of our primal consciousnesses the solar plexus, the great nerve-center situated behind the stomach.

From this center we are first dynamically conscious.
