The hormones are chemical messengers produced by the endocrine
glands in minute quantities but eventually affecting every single
cell of your body. The secretions of the endocrine glands empty
directly into the blood where they find their way to various organs,
stimulating or suppressing them, or in some way influencing their
activity.
In the Taoist Esoteric System the energy centers do not belong
to the physical body at all but are regarded as adjuncts of the “vital
body”, which are set apart and crystallized to the necessary density
in order that it may perform certain special manifestations of
this vital body. Each gland has a specific work to perform. When in
good health they all work together in perfect harmony. The endocrine
glands are of special interest to the students of Taoism in
relation to the circulation of the Microcosmic Orbit. In order to explain
some of the energy centers in terms of modern anatomy, one
has to look to the endocrine glands for correlation. The correlations
may or may not be right, but that is the best that one can
hypothesize at this stage of the art.
