Chapter 14Levels of the Physical Being · The Physical and the Vital

The physical depends on the vital at every step — it could not do anything without the help of the vital — so it is quite natural that it should receive its suggestions.

* The physical world is only a last field in which not only the physical forces but those of other worlds also throw themselves for realisation. Whatever happens here has already been prepared or foreshadowed in the vital; it does not happen exactly as represented in the vital, but with a change suitable for the material world.
