Or* it might be like this**:

	UNION
	SPIRIT
(The Oast-house Cone)
FATHER?		SON
***
'Angels' (Spiritual Kingdom)		(#Spirals up?)
DIVERSITY
Men (Mental Zone)		UNITY / Inner Circle (Spiritual)
DISTRACTION		ATTRACTION Outer Circle (Material)
'Animals' (Physical Realm)
(Spirals down?')
	SEPARATION

The advantage of this particular graphic representation (The 'oast-house' model?) is that it demonstrates the way in which (not 'why') awareness of the Attraction of the Christ archetype does not necessarily mean that one makes the right choice of Circle and ends up going upwards and inwards instead of outwards and downwards.**** One must aim for Christ's Unity, for Unity with Christ. It also shows how the Spirit at the Centre may be difficult to perceive directly from the Outer Circle, and more difficult from beneath it.

****(cf. C.S. Lewis, 'The Last Battle'[: “I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now...Come further up, come further in!”])
