Excerpt from The Word, Vol. 25: A Monthly Magazine Devoted to Philosophy, Science, Religion, Eastern Thought, Occultism, Theosophy, and Brotherhood of Humanity; April, 1917-September, 1917

So spirit-matter, which is nature, involves from the Spiritual to the physical, sinking and condensing through four worlds. In the lowest, our physical world, it is met by mind, which thenceforth raises it from stage to stage in the physical world and so on through the psychic world, the mental world and the spiritual world of knowledge, these three names standing here for the aspects on the evolution ary line of the form world, the life world and the breath world. The stages of evolution correspond to stages of in volution. That gives seven great stages in the four worlds. The planes are the breath-mind plane in the sphere of the fire, the life-thought plane in the sphere of air, the form desire plane - a part of which is the astral-psychic plane in the sphere of water, and the physical plane in the sphere of earth. On those planes are the stages of involution and evolution, matter being of the same degree or kind on each plane, but differing in the degree to which matter is con scious. This is the plan upon which the two factors work.
