who can "read between the
lines" a new light upon the
processes of Evolution and
a new key to the secret
door of the "leaps of life"
between kingdom and
kingdom. The great
kingdoms of Elementals are
fully recognized by all
occultists and the esoteric
writings are full of mention
of them. The readers of
Bulwer's "Sanoni" and
similar tales will recognize
the entities inhabiting
these planes of life.
Passing on from the Great
Mental Plane to the Great
Spiritual Plane, what shall
we say?
How can we explain these
higher states of Being, Life
and Mind, to minds as yet
unable to grasp and
understand the higher
subdivisions of the Plane
of Human Mind?
The task is impossible.
We can speak only in the
most general terms.
How may Light be
described to a man born
blind - how sugar, to a man
who has never tasted
anything sweet - how
harmony, to one born deaf?

All that we can say is that
the Seven Minor Planes of
the Great Spiritual Plane
(each Minor Plane having
its seven sub-divisions)
comprise Beings
possessing Life, Mind and
Form as far above that of
Man of today as the latter
is above the earth-worm,
mineral or even certain
forms of Energy or Matter.
The Life of these Beings so
far transcends ours, that
we cannot even think of
the details of the same;
their minds so far
transcend ours, that to
them we scarcely seem to
"think" and our mental
processes seem almost
akin to material processes;
the Matter of which their
forms are composed is of
the highest Planes of
Matter, nay, some are even
said to be "clothed in Pure
Energy." What may be said
of such Beings?
On the Seven Minor Planes
of the Great Spiritual Plane
exist Beings of whom we
may speak as Angels,
Archangels. On the lower
Minor Planes dwell those
great souls whom we call
