When used as a theosophical term, it is described as the one homogeneous, absolute and omnipresent Essence which lies beyond the seven planes of worlds (CW XII:629; SD I:4). As it begins its evolutionary journey it generates a correlated reflection which differentiates and transforms into subjective and finally objective matter. The derivative term “Elemental Essence” is the name of the MONADIC ESSENCE which has embodied itself in matter.
