Riassunto

Man, according to the Theosophical teaching, is a sevenfold being, or, putting it in another way, man's nature has seven aspects. These may be studied from seven different points of view. The clearest and best way of all in which to think of man is to regard him as one, the Spirit or True Self. This view belongs to the highest region of the universe, and is universal, the same for all; it is a ray of God, a spark from the divine fire. This is to become an individual, reflecting the divine perfection, a son that grows into the likeness of his father. For this purpose the Spirit, or true Self, is clothed in garment after garment, each garment belonging to a definite region of the universe, and enabling the Self to come into contact with that region, gain knowledge of it, and work in it. It thus gains experience, and all its latent potentialities are gradually drawn out into active powers. These garments, or sheaths, are distinguishable from each other both theoretically and practically.
