And then, when one has witnessed how these high beings of the Third Hierarchy have breathed in what they have taken up from the sensory world, as what has penetrated through to them through the rainbow that they have transformed, so that it can be taken up into the spiritual world, then it is seen that they go with it, with what they have taken up into themselves in this way, and carry it on in service to the higher spirits, to the spirits of the Second Hierarchy.
