The Plane of Elemental Mind (B), in its
seven sub-divisions, comprises the states
and conditions of a higher form of '^ ele-
mental" or unseen entities, playing their
part in the general work of the Universe,
the mind and life of which form a part of
the scale between the Plane of Plant Mind
and the Plane of Animal Mind, the entities
partaking of the nature of both.
The Plane of Animal Mind, in its seven
sub-divisions, comprises the states and con-
ditions of the entities, beings, or souls, ani-
mating the animal forms of life, familiar
to us all. It is not necessary to go into
details regarding this kingdom or plane of
life, for the animal world is as familiar to
us as is our own.
The Plane of Elemental Mind (C), in its
seven sub-divisions, comprises those enti-
ties or beings, invisible as are all such ele-
mental forms, which partake of the nature
of both animal and human life in a degree^

teachers claim that illustrations of this
Principle may
be had on every hand, and
from an examination into the real nature
of anything. They begin by showing that
Spirit and Matter are but the two poles of
the same thing, the intermediate planes
being merely degrees of vibration. They
they show that THE ALL and The Many
are the same, the difference being merely
a matter of degree of Mental Manifesta-
tion. Thus the LAW

By an

higher plane of Causation and thus coun-
1 ter-balance the laws of the lower planes of
V Causation. By rising above the plane of
