You know that we speak of an all-soul, of which Plato says that it is crucified to the cosmic body, that it is chained to the cross of the cosmic body.? Imagine the world soul as plant, animal and human being, and you have the cross. By living in these three realms, the world soul is chained to this cross. As a result, you will find the concept of congestion expanded. You will find it expanded by something in nature. Two complementary, diverging, but interlocking currents form plants and humans, with congestion being the animal. Thus, the animal actually places itself between an upward and a downward current. In this way, the Kamaloka [astral sphere] interposes itself between Devachan and the physical world. Thus, something interposes itself between these two symmetrical worlds, between Devachan and the physical world, and acts between them, acting on both sides like a dam. The outer expression of this Kamaloka world is the animal world.
