"Man [both the physical body and the mind with their product, the personality] is the product of the interplay of forces streaming from the soul and from those pouring in from his environment."
In other words...
The physical senses [touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight] register streaming consciousness [a triad known to some as Atma-Buddhi-Manas] through the lower triad [mental, emotional, and physical body] being the quality of said shape and color.
The infinite variation of quality of Consciousness is beyond vast. Some variations can be measured by man's equipment, and yet most are camouflaged in the form of food and water.
"We can see our outer body, but the 'inner' ones are normally not visible to any but a trained eye [clairvoyant]. These inner bodies feed on the energies, not only of the soul, but from without, and in consuming these energies, they reflect continuous change in quality."
J. Krishnamurti says, "Have no desire for psychic powers; they will come when the Master knows that it is best for you to have them. They will come in the course of development. Until [it is useful] you are better without them." - At the Feet of the Master
The energies of the soul reach right down into the etheric body and we recognize them outwardly as vitality. They give the body its beauty of action and form. After the material sustenance is last to all Spiritual living, just like plants man reaches above ground into sunlight for energy - reaching within himself for energies and inspirations that sustain a perfected Being.
