87: The Life and the Lives.
1. Everything lives and is conscious, but all life and consciousness is not similar to the human.—S. D., I, 79.
a. Life is the one form of existence manifesting in matter.
b. Matter is the vehicle for the manifesting of soul.
c. Soul is the vehicle for the manifesting of Spirit.
Therefore:  1st Logos, 2nd Logos, 3rd Logos co-operate.
Illustration:
Life of the 3rd Logos—animating atoms of matter.
Life of the 2nd Logos—animating the forms, or aggregate of atoms.
Life of the 1st Logos—animating the composite forms.
2. The one Life synthesises this triplicity.
Let us work this out in the Macrocosm and Microcosm.
Fohat, Prana, Electricity, Magnetic Fluid, are all terms used for this one vitalising life.
The Microcosm is animated and vitalised by prana, and its actions controlled by the indwelling Thinker.
The Macrocosm is animated and vitalised by Fohat; its actions are controlled by the informing Intelligence we call the Logos.
