Letter 17: THE STAR

"What is the intrinsic difference between the "magical agent" and the "agent of growth"? It is as follows:

The magical agent is of an electrical nature -- either terrestrial or celestial. It is of a nature to act through discharges, through the emission of sparks or flashes. It is dry and warm -- of the nature of fire...For Angelic inspiration and the agent of growth have this in common that they flow -- that they do not act through shocks and discharges, but in a continuous way. Continuous transformation is the essential manifestation of the agent of growth, just as creative lightning is that of the magical agent." --VT
