FMC00.670 illustrates Man as a threefold being in relation to the three worlds, with a picture and description used recurrently by Rudolf Steiner. The 'head' nerve-sense subsystem and 'limb' metabolic-limb subsystem are polar opposites, the first most and the latter least spiritualized, while the middle rhythmic subsystem modulates and balances the two. The influences of the different etheric formative forces are depicted with the open sphere at both ends,

On the left, focus is on the human head with the 'empty' part (see Schema FMC00.045) and connection with the spiritual. Connect this with the schemas and descriptions on etherization of blood, the human brain, and matter is destroyed in the brain to develop an imaginative insight of this point in the human brain between the pineal and pituitary glands. For another angle, see also Schema FMC00.463 and Man's new organ.
