5. The Five Aspects of the Human Being
The structure of the human being has five functional levels or aspects:
| Structural Level | Charge | Product of coherency | Ascesia | Extension | Sociality | |
| 5 | Somatic | Space | Strength | Hatha yoga, stretching, weight-lifting | Machines | Martial arts |
| 4 | Visceral | Fuel | Health | Aerobics, diet/nutrition, hygiene, pranayama | Food supply, shelter, sewer system | Making out |
| 3 | Neural | Symbols | Intelligence | Coordination, linguistics, literacy | Surveillance technology | Communications technology |
| 2 | Cerebral | Meaning | Wisdom | Logic, philosophy, Qabalah | Computers | Communication |
| 1 | Genetic | Reproducable form of the organism | Life | Sex magick, tantra, Taoist sexual medicine | Offspring | Accompanied sex |
| 0 | Nuclear/Atomic | Matter | Existence | - | - | - |
Level 0, the Nuclear/Atomic, which constitutes the structure of matter and existence, is a purely theoretical model, and is not included as one of the Five Aspects of the Human Being because the "Human Being" doesn't conventionally begin until level "1".
Archetypally, the genitals occupy the thesis of our origin. The romantic pursuit receives the projections of the internal, spiritual pursuit, and the sexual act is at least subconsciously symbolic of divine revelation and ascension--man's returning to the home of his Maker. It can be argued that all religion is symbolic of the repressed sexual ideas, and it can also be argued that the sexual ideas are symbolic of something even more basic.
Art is conscious expression, whether deliberate or not. All acts express. One may be conscious of the expression achieved by any act, therefore any act may be Art.
