The way our nervous system is centred in our brain at the top of our body reflects the way our intelligence is centred in the spiritual worlds:

The intelligence of man, his reasoning powers, his knowledge, his scientific achievements, all these being manifestations of the spirit, partake of the inevitable law of spiritual progress and are, therefore, of necessity, immortal.[1]

The nervous system is arranged in a tree form, with the roots being the nerves branching out all over the body, and the top side of the tree being the nerves in the brain. The brain doesn’t look like a tree because the branches are folded inwards.

The nervous system is the physical expression of the five trees.
