AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

The dwarf triple bodied trinity are the three levels at which the present human mind operates. They are, in evolutionary sequence, the physical, vital and the mental mind or the mind proper. 

The physical mind is heavily dependent upon the senses and the raw data they provide. It trusts only that which can be seen and measured.
