The "Monad" version of Randolph.

To Leon and Jerry.
Here is another Quote from Blavatsky (no Daniel I didn't get it from
Devene, Mathiesen, or Santucci, it is from the SD ) the bears strong
resemblance to Randolph (or a Lurianic kabbalistic view) than to
Buddhism or anything like "Boddhism" in the east.
The Monad emerges from its state of spiritual and intellectual
unconsciousness; and-gets directly into the plane of Mentality. But
there is no place in the whole universe with a wider margin, or a
wider field of action in its almost endless gradations of perceptive
and apperceptive qualities, than this plane, which has in its turn
an appropriate smaller plane for every "form", from the "mineral"
monad up to the time when that monad blossoms forth by evolution into
the Divine Monad. But all the time it is still one and the same
Monad, differing only in its incarnations, throughout its ever
succeeding cycles of partial or total obscuration into the depths of
materiality. (SD I: p.175)
