The Lowest and the Highest

Speaking of the ætherial, it is no surprise that vegetative is the lowest form of it, since lovely Luna—who governs growth and reproduction—resides in the lowest sphere of the æther and is the special shepherd of vegetative life.

On the other end of the scale, should it be any surprise that the spiritual life is one of loneliness, melancholy, and pain? After all, the spiritual life brushes the upper edge of the ætherial, and the ruler of the highest sphere is inexorable Saturn, the great Teacher of this world.
