Stanza VI, Sloka 5

5. At the fourth, the sons are told to create their images. One third refuses – to obey.

“Mr. Kingsland:  Then what have we been calling the planetary spirits in the previous discussions are simply the Atman of each of the planets?

 
Mme. Blavatsky:   Some of them. Because they are again divided into seven. This is the great mysterious number of this Manvantara, so you had better not mix up too many things, because you will be terribly confused, that is sure.

 
Mr. Kingsland:   Then are we to understand that the Monads, although independent of these seven principles, are necessary for the completion, so to speak, of the animal life of the planet?

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  Certainly.

 
Mr. Kingsland:  Of the individual animal life of the globe or planet?

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  You mean the elementals which precede the other kingdoms?

 
Mr. Kingsland:  I mean the Monads in their whole career.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  Certainly, they are necessary.

 
Mr. Mead:  Wouldn’t it be convenient to give some name to these three sub-kingdoms?

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  Call them Smith or Brown or anything you like, because I am not going to bother myself. They call me by a per name when I was young, but they would not call me by that now, I have changed.”

 
H. P. Blavatsky
