These
different states of matter do not all come within the range of our
present objective consciousness. But they can be objectively perceived
by the spiritual Ego in man. To the liberated spiritual monad of man,
or to the Dhyan Chohans, every thing that is material in every condition
of matter is an object of perception. Further, Pragna or the capacity
of perception exists in seven different aspects corresponding to the
seven conditions of matter. Strictly speaking, there are but six states
of matter, the so-called seventh state being the aspect of cosmic matter
in its original undifferentiated condition. Similarly there are six
states of differentiated Pragna, the seventh state being a condition of
perfect unconsciousness. By differentiated Pragna, I mean the condition
in which Pragna is split up into various states of consciousness. Thus
we have six states of consciousness, either objective or subjective for
the time being, as the case may be, and a perfect state of
unconsciousness, which is the beginning and the end of all conceivable
states of consciousness, corresponding to the states of differentiated
matter and its original undifferentiated basis which is the beginning
and the end of all cosmic evolutions.
