…aracter- istic mode of présentation to some “plane” or other. But there are “planes” proper to every clairvoyant who explores the Astral Light without préjudice; in such case, things assume the form of his own mind, and his perception will be clear in proportion to his personal purity. On the higher planes, the diversity of form, due to grossness, tends to disappear. Thus, the Astral Vision of “Isis” is utterly unlike that of “Kali”. The one is of Motherhood and Wisdom, ineffably candid, clear, and loving; the other of Murder and madness, blood…

These are most serious matters; the Body of Light must be fully adult, irrevocably fixed, or it will be disintegrated at the outset.

Such, then is a general description of the Astral Plane, and of the proper conduct of the Magician in his dealings therewith. 264 —
