Elementary Theosophy.
No. 3. The Seven Principles. The Do
trine of Higher and Lower Man Describe

D
Did you ever stop to think how it is
that spirit which is the very extreme of
matter, spirit which is so fine as to be un-
seen by our mortal eyes and unfelt by our
mortal touch is vet able to move the
earthly substance in which it works, to
control our material muscles so that we
may do the thousand and one things that
lite requires of us? If so you have no
doubt been puzzled to determine how
something so very different from matter,
SO formless and unreal to our sense can
yet move that which is seemingly hard
and dense and very real to us.
OF course the question is a difficult one
to answer, but perhaps we can get some
idea of it by supposing that spirit first
acts on something that is almost as fine
as itself, which in turn acts on something
a little. less fine and so on down until
finally it reaches matter, which it is en-
abled to control from its having become
through its different steps downwards
enough like that matter to have effect
upon it. In other words, there is a series
of links which connect spirit and matter,
the former from It's very unlikeness to the
latter being unable to act directly upon it.
Theosophy asserts that there are six of
these links beside pure spirit. Including
the latter we have what is known as the
'Seven Principles In simple terms
they are as fOllOws:-
Pure SPIRIT,
Conscience,
Mind,
Desire or passion Qualities,
Vitality or Life Energy,
Design or Form Body.
Physical Body.
OF these principles the first three are
class sed together as the "higher man." the
four remaining ones being classed as the
lower man," because of the fact that
spirit, conscience and mind have to do, as
must be apparent to all with the higher
or spiritual part of us, while the remain
ing elements are related to the meaner
and more material half. Thus you see
there are really two men in one, and it is
the constant warfare between the two
that brings about all the discomfort and
of life. When the lower
ceases the foolish rebellion against the
wise and holy aspiration of the higher
then is peace-and then only Lower
Man has certain instincts and tendencies
which continually keep alive its earthly
appetites and desires, while on the other
hand, higher man, which is associated
with it, is forever trying to keep it from
yielding to these baser qualities. In fact,
higher man simply uses the lower as an
instrument through which it may come
in contact with matter and gain expert
ence from nature. and it naturally desires
to keep that instrument as pure and un-
detiled as possible. You cannot see clear
ly through glass that is covered with
dirt and smut, and so it is with the spirit
which depends on its physical instru-
ments for impression of the material
world, and it is of the utmost Importance
to its progress that these impressions are
clear and distinct and not distorted eX-
aggerated or untruthful, as must neces-
sarilly be the case where the body is at
the mercy of every passion, every gross de-
sire and appetite
