Now we talk a lot about Evolution or the un-folding, but we seem often not to realise that there must be something to unfold; and that therefore In-volution, or the concentration of the Life Principle, must be a condition precedent to its E-volution. This process of Involution must therefore be a process of gradually increasing concentration of the Life Principle by association with denser and denser modes of the Universal Substance. Then, on the principle of Vibration, the less dense the substance in which the Life is immersed, the more it must be subject to being stirred by vibratory currents other than those produced by the conscious action of the Ego, or inherent Life, of the individual that is being formed.

But "the Sum of the Vibrations in anything determines the mode, power, and direction of its action"; therefore, the less the Ego be concentrated through association with a dense vehicle, the more "wobbly" it must be and consequently the less able to take any effective part in the further work of Creation. But in proportion as the Ego builds up an Individual
