Planes of the Great Physical
Plane.

The Plane of Matter (A)
comprises the forms of
Matter in its form of solids,
liquids and gases, as
generally recognized by the
text-books on physics. The
Plane of Matter (B)
comprises certain higher
and more subtle forms of
Matter of the existence of

which modern science is
but now recognizing, the
phenomena of Radiant
Matter, in its phases of
radium, etc, belonging to
the lower sub-division of
this Minor Plane.
The Plane of Matter (C)
comprises forms of the
most subtle and tenuous
Matter, the existence of
which is not suspected by
ordinary scientists. The
Plane of Ethereal Subs
