THE PLANES OF CORRESPONDENCE.

"As above, so below; as below, so above."

For the purpose of convenience of thought and study, the Hermetic

Philosophy considers that the Universe may be divided into three great

classes of phenomena, known as the Three Great Planes, namely:

I. The Great Physical Plane.

II. The Great Mental Plane.

III. The Great Spiritual Plane.

In short, the Three Great Planes may be regarded as three great

groups of degrees of Life Manifestation.

At the beginning we may as well consider the question so often asked

by the neophyte, who desires to be informed regarding the meaning of

the word "Plane," which term has been very freely used, and very poorly

explained, in many recent works upon the subject of occultism. The

question is generally about as follows: "Is a Plane a place having

dimensions, or is it merely a condition or state?" We answer: "No, not a

place, nor ordinary dimension of space; and yet more than a state or

condition. It may be considered as a state or condition, and yet the state

or condition is a degree of dimension, in a scale subject to

measurement." Somewhat paradoxical, is it not?
