This does not vitiate its faculty of reflecting the Universe, as the latter then standeth in relation with it - so that while a star or planet may form some part of some particular constellation or stellar system, yet it will have its own astral sphere - its own particular Astral Universe. Our Earth has its astral atmosphere - the reflection as well as the astral simulacrum of the whole Stellar Universe, but projected on a plane convex to the exterior Heavens, but concave to the Earth itself, the forces of which are excited by analogy with those in the outer Universe.
