Lecture VI

The fourth, the thigh, we have already considered and we have seen that it belongs to the middle man. The thigh would have to be there even if man had another kind of movement. If, for instance, he were to fly or swim, he would still need the thigh, though it might have to assume another form. If man is to be able to walk on the earth, not only must the foot and leg and knee be adapted to the ground but also the thigh must be in right relation and proportion to these members. It must be so formed as to correspond in the right way to the three lower members, You will recognise this when you observe that in so far as the thigh is in correspondence with the middle organs it is of the same kind in birds, in four-footed animals and in man; in man it is only differently developed. Thus, the thigh belongs to man in so far as he has an animal nature. We give it the name of Archer (Sagittarius) and the Sign ♐.
