point out the fact that the
average man of today
occupies but the fourth
sub-division of the Plane of
Human Mind and only the
most intelligent have
crossed the borders of the
Fifth Sub-Division. It has
taken the race millions of
years to reach this stage
and it will take many more
years for the race to move
on to the sixth and seventh
sub-divisions and beyond.
But, remember, that there
have been races before us
which have passed through
these degrees and then on
to higher planes. Our own
race is the fifth (with
stragglers from the fourth)
which has set foot upon
The Path. And, then there
are a few advanced souls of
our own race who have
outstripped the masses and
who have passed on to the
sixth and seventh subdivision and some few
being still further on. The
man of the Sixth SubDivision will be "The SuperMan"; he of the Seventh
will be "The Over-Man."
In our consideration of the
Seven Minor Mental Planes,

we have merely referred to
the Three Elementary
Planes in a general way.
We do not wish to go into
this subject in detail in this
work, for it does not
belong to this part of the
general philosophy and
teachings. But we may say
this much, in order to give
you a little clearer idea, of
the relations of these
planes to the more familiar
ones - the Elementary
Planes bear the same
relation to the Planes of
Mineral, Plant, Animal and
Human Mentality and Life,
that the black keys on the
piano do to the white keys.
The white keys are
sufficient to produce
music, but there are certain
scales, melodies and
harmonies, in which the
black keys play their part
and in which their presence
is necessary. They are also
necessary as "connecting
links" of soul-condition,
entity states, etc, between
the several other planes,
certain forms of
development being
attained therein - this last
fact giving to the reader
