CHAPTER IX
3/15

Globe 4F is in the astral world, corresponding on the ascending arc to globe 4B in the descent; while globe 4G corresponds to globe 4A in having its lowest manifestation in the lower part of the mental world.

Thus it will be seen that we have a scheme of globes starting in the lower mental world, dipping through the astral into the physical and then rising into the lower mental through the astral again.
Just as the succession of the globes in a chain constitutes a descent into matter and an ascent from it again, so do the successive incarnations of a chain.

We have described the condition of affairs in the fourth incarnation; looking back at the third, we find that that commences not on the lower level of the mental world but on the higher.

Globes 3A and 3G, then, are both of higher mental matter, while globes 3B and 3F are at the lower mental level.

Globes 3C and 3E belong to the astral world, and only globe 3D is visible in the physical world.
