01.004 Hierarchies

H.P. Blavatsky
The Secret Doctrine, Vol. 1, 1888
Page 129 Hierarchies

The refusal to admit in the whole Solar system of any other reasonable and intellectual beings on the human plane, than ourselves, is the greatest conceit of our age. All that science has a right to affirm, is that there are no invisible Intelligences living under the same conditions as we do. It cannot deny point-blank the possibility of there being worlds within worlds, under totally different conditions to those that constitute the nature of our world; nor can it deny that there may be a certain communication* [* The greatest philosopher of European birth, Imanuel Kant, assures us that such a communication is in no way improbable. “I confess I am much disposed to assert the existence of Immaterial natures in the world, and to place my own soul in the class of these beings. It will hereafter, I know not where, or when, yet be proven that the human soul stands even in this life in indissoluble connection with all immaterial natures in the spirit-world, that it reciprocally acts upon these and receives impressions from them.” (Traume eines Geistersehers, quoted by C. C. Massey, in his preface to Von Hartmann’s “Spiritsmus.”)] between some of those worlds and our own. To the highest, we are taught, belong the seven orders of the purely divine Spirits; to the six lower ones belong hierarchies that can occasionally be seen and heard by men, and who do communicate with their progeny of the Earth; which progeny is indissolubly linked with them, each principle in man having its direct source in the nature of those Beings, who furnish us with the respective invisible elements in us.
