(''a'') This sentence : “ The thread between the ''silent watcher ''and his ''shadow ''(man) becomes stronger ” — with every re-incarnation — is another psychological mystery, that will find its explanation in Book II. For the present it will suffice to say that the “ Watcher ” and his “ Shadows ” — the latter numbering as many as there are re-incarnations for the monad — are one. The Watcher, or the divine prototype, is at the upper rung of the ladder of being ; the shadow, at the lower. Withal, the ''Monad ''of every living being, unless his moral turpitude breaks the connection and runs loose and “ astray into the lunar path ” — to use the Occult expression — ''is an individual Dhyan Chohan'', ''distinct from others'', ''a kind of spiritual individuality of its own'', during one special Manvantara. Its ''Primary'', the Spirit (Atman) is one, of course, with ''Paramâtma ''(the one Universal Spirit), but the vehicle (Vahan) it is enshrined in, the ''Buddhi'', is part and parcel of that Dhyan-Chohanic Essence ; and it is in this that lies the mystery of that ''ubiquity'', which was discussed a few pages back. “ My Father, that is in Heaven, and I — are one,” — says the Christian Scripture ; in this, at any rate, it is the faithful echo of the esoteric tenet.
