.1910

What are they, my Undines?* They are simpler than real people: simpler, even, than dream representations of real people; and yet far more real. This simplicity may be the effect the Outer Principle appropriate to their Degree, for which the Inner Principle is, of course, Love: the other quality which comes across strongly. But it may also have something to do with their essential nature, **which is purer, more refined, less complicated than ours, as their existence and purpose is to serve the divine Will. For if I am right, they are the nearest Degree to us in the Angelic Hierarchy of the Ophanim*** – Angels, in the traditional view. Nothing of such Simplicity and Love could be evil.

In the case of the lady of the first dream**** (and earlier dreams),# she of the glowing golden hair, I speculate that she is also an Undine, but [is] one Degree removed: an Archangel in the traditional scale. She need not be either xS or +K: she can arise anywhere along the Circles, and I speculate that she belongs between xS and +K (r~ & g~)[.] I could be wrong; but she had a light and a stature and form greater and finer than theirs. 

It should be remembered that, in this theory, any ‘Individual’ spirit of the Ophanim can progress freely up and down the hierarchy, as if on Jacob’s Ladder: so it is not a question of overlords and underclasses. At least on the right side of Powers, however, ie from Principalities right [sic] upwards, the numbers of types are reduced in a strict mathematical series, so that the scope for Individual uniqueness correspondingly narrows.#*

#*I doubt whether an individual Angel can change Type on one level; that would involve changing Soul-quality, which together with experience is the equivalent in the Ophanim to personality – I speculate!

This seems curious <891011>

On the other hand, an Angel’s behaviour might change as it moved normally through Degrees? <880815>
