Abstract: This human blood system...must be regarded as the physical instrument of the I. The necessary bases for a human I are: an astral body, an ether body and a physical body. Just as these three aspects of the human being are the precondition for the I in non-physical terms, so such images of the astral and the ether body are a precondition for the blood system in physical terms.(1)

To the lay person's eye, blood seems a uniformly red body fluid. It does not have this uniformity for the scientist, who is aware of numerous parameters such as number and size of red blood cells, degree of neutrophil maturation, the concentration of a particular protein or salt at a given time.

The aim of this paper is to make a contribution to bringing system and order into the multifarious nature of the blood.
