Elementaries

<p>There are many sub‑planes on the Astral Plane, many of which bear close analogies to corresponding planes known to

us on the Material Plane. There are also sub‑planes containing life activities, which are different from the more familiar ones,

and which bear the same relationship to the latter that the black keys On the piano‑board bear to the white keys. On these“black‑key” sub‑planes dwell entities strange to human sight and thought, but which, nevertheless, form a part of the universal manifestation of life. These entities are non‑human—never were human, and never will be human. Their evolution has

been, and will continue, along totally different lines. Occultists group these entities under the general term of “elementaries,” or “elementals,” although their degrees and characteristics vary

greatly, one from another. We shall consider these entities in the following lesson.</p>
