Nervous system in human body

When the foetus is 2- 3 months old in the Mother's womb, the column of rays of consciousness emitted through the all-pervading Divine Love pass through the brain to enlighten it. The shape of the Human brain being prism-like, the column of rays falling on it gets refracted into four diverse channels corresponding to the four aspects of the nervous system.
They are Parasympathetic nervous system, sympathetic nervous system (right), sympathetic nervous system (left) and central nervous system (this need not be discussed as it is the link objectivity).
The set of rays that fall on the fontanel bone (apex of the head, known as Taloo) pierce in the center and pass straight into the medulla oblongata through a channel (Shushumna). This energy, after leaving a very thread -like thin line in the medulla oblongata, settles down in 3 1/2 coils in the triangular bone placed at the end of the spinal chord (Mooladhara). This energy is known as Kundalini.
The subtle energy enters through the center of the brain (Sahasrar Brahmarandhra) and precipitates on its way in six more centers. The gross manifestation of this subtle energy in the Shushumna channel of the spinal chord is termed as Parasympathetic nervous system, and the Chakras are expressed as plexuses outside the spinal chord, Surprisingly, we have the same number of plexuses and sub plexuses outside as the number of Chakras and their petals inside the Spinal chord. Very little is known about this system to the medical science. It is termed as autonomous nervous system-- the system that works spontaneously on its own. For example, if we want to increase the rate of our heartbeat we can do so by exerting the heart (activity of the sympathetic nervous system), but we cannot reduce the rate of the heart (activity of the parasympathetic nervous system).

The parasympathetic nervous system is a system, which is like a petrol pump through which the petrol of Divine Love is filled in us. But as soon as a human child is born and the naval chord is broken, a gap is created in the Shushumna (the subtle channel in the spinal chord), and also outside one can see the gap between the Solar plexus and the Vagus nerve of the para sympathetic nervous system, this gap is known as the Void in the Zen system of Religion and Maya (or Bhavasagar)in the Indian thought. Later when the Ego and the super- ego bloats up like a balloon and cover our brain at the apex of the left and the right sympathetic nervous system, the fontanel bone gets calcified and the all pervading vital force of the Divine love gets cut off completely.
Then the human being identifies himself as a separate entity and the consciousness of " I " (Aham) presides. This is the reason why man does not know his 'universal unconscious '. He is severed there from his ego.

The sympathetic nervous system is created to use this vital energy. There are two systems (i.e., left and right). These two channels, which carry this energy in subtle form in the medulla oblongata and are known as Ida and Pingla respectively. The right side system caters to the emergencies of the active consciousness (extra efforts and emergencies); and the left side system (medically they say it remains dormant) caters to the subconscious mind of the psyche (Libido).
