dwelt; but that body was identical in substance with the body
that made the mind of the animal man. His manasic body joined
the manasic body of the animal man, joined with it by entering
into the animal man's mind, as easily as water from one glass is
added to water in another glass, and the animal "man became a
living soul," endowed with speech, while the Angel-man was given
"a skin coat."

The prakritic body of the animal man was the result in prakriti
of an etheric-pranic-manasic, or "astral" body, formed in
accordance with the Universal Law. For what he was by nature, he
could not be blamed. He stood naked and not ashamed before the
Radiance. He did not make his astral body; he was the mere
translation of it into prakriti, as all other created things
were, and that invisible astral self (figuratively) stood at his
right hand, moulding and shaping him.

But when the Angel-man entered his mind, all this was changed.
He "knew Good from Evil." To his mind of manasa had been added
the Spirit--the Atma-Buddhi's Consciousness of the three
Spiritual planes. He has become "as one of us," said the Angel-
men of the firmament, of Heaven. He now held the seven planes
and was a creator. Each thought and desire that, when an animal
only, fell harmless, now created on the pranic and etheric world.
Soon beside him, at his left hand (figuratively) there grew up a
second etheric or astral body, that of his desires; and his
prakritic body was no longer the product of the astral body on
his right hand. It was the joint product of the left-hand Kamic
astral body he had created, and the right hand normal astral
body. He was no longer in harmony with the Radiance. He could
