I. The earth-life is like the phase of the crawling caterpillar, which feels within itself a something which it cannot express, and which it scarcely understands;
II. The astral-life is like the phase of the chrysalis, in which the future gorgeous butterfly is being formed, and in which the colored wings already exist in Astral form;
III. The reincarnated earth-life is like the phase of the butterfly, in which the ideal felt in the first stage and mentally experienced in the second stage becomes fully manifest and active.

The Law of Karma performs much of its work on the Astral Plane, for there the sole material is plastic and non-resistant, the coarse sheaths of the body being absent. And this law is exact and unfailing in its operations --- it always brings the seed to fruition, and each seed brings forth only its own appropriate fruit:

"Karma --- all that total of a soul
Which is the thing it did, the thoughts it had,
The 'self' it wove with woof of viewless time
Crossed on the warp invisible of acts.
