Beyond these im rarest subtlest matter and in splendor of radiant unimagin- able Life, in the highest sphere, dwells in the per- fection of His own nature the Lord of the system, whom the Hindi calls Ishvara, the Lord, impartite, unmanitest. In the second sphere His Aspects shine out, His manifested Powers, whom we called the Logoi from whom the Life-Waves came, Powers which build matter and forms, and the Power, the Regenerative, from whom the third Life-Wave is to come. In that lofty sphere naught may live that is not God, and there are the seeds otf Divinity, parts of Himself, emanations—if the word may be used of those who dwell ever in the bosom of the FKather—which are to be human Spirits in the field of evolution, the spheres of form.
