Man lives simultaneously in three worlds, the physical, the astral and the montal, but is nor mally conscious only of the physi cal. For each of these worlds he possesses separate and distinct bodies, the physical, the astral and the mental. These bodies all occupy the same space, interpene trating each other, as water freely interpenetrates a sponge and the air in the water, in its turn, treoly interpenetrates the water In the eponge. The matter of the astral and mental worlds consists of very fine and rare matter invisible to physical sight, but fully cogni sable to our higher, the astral eight.
