From the starting of the process of Involution from the Mental Principle, down to the extreme downward point of the grossest Manifestation of Matter, there were many stages.
The true teaching is that the process of Involution was accomplished by a Principle involving itself in the lower Principle created within itself, and so on until the lowest plane was reached.
Following the laws ofInvolution imposed upon it, the Universal Mental Principle involved itself in the Universal Energy Principle; and then in obedience to the same laws, the latter involved itself in the Universal Material Principle.
We allude to the teaching that in the process ofInvolution there was a "degeneration" or "devolution" from higher to lower forms of life, until the gross state of Matter was reached.
At times the patches retrogress, involution taking place with or without slight sieve-like atrophy or scarring.
In rare instances there is a disposition, at points, to spontaneous involution and scar formation; as a rule, however, the ulcerative action slowly progresses.
In some instances it extends after birth, reaches a certain size and then remains stationary; occasionally, when involving a small area, it undergoes involution and disappears.

In this Dual-Unity we find the key to all conceivable involution or evolution of Spirit; and it is therefore not without reason that the record of these two ancient pillars has been preserved in our Scriptures.
You see, the identification of thumb-prints is made by means of the characteristicinvolution of the nucleus and its envelope.
Why, you know thumb-prints have all been classified by Gallon, and every possible variation in the form of the nucleal involution and its envelope has been named and arranged.
Defn: Involution in one's self; hence, abstraction of thought; reverie.
Here is not a mereinvolution only, but a spiritual permeation and inexistence.
This involution of the higher into the lower urges life upwards through the mineral, vegetable, animal and human kingdoms, until it culminates in spiritually and self consciousness.
It has an abstract relation to involution or infusion; it may be view in two ways, either as positive or negative; as the exertion of force or the reception of force.
The involution of the higher forces into the lower forms alluded to before now begins.
There is also a remarkable involution in form--the last line succeeding the first, and so on; and this alternation of the verses is compared to the leaping of fawns.
The mouth of the cloaca is formed by an involution of the skin, which is deepest in front and becomes very shallow behind (Pl.
The relation of the mouth involution to the infundibulum.
On each side of the external opening of the cloaca there is present an involution (Pl.
The perforation of the cloacalinvolution is carried slowly forwards, so that the opening into the cloaca, though retaining its slit-like character, becomes continuously longer; by stage Q its size is very considerable.
There is, however, no involution from the exterior, but, on the contrary, the position of the anus is marked by a distinct prominence.
The figure shews (1) The mode of formation of a visceral cleft without any involution of the external skin.
It shews (1) the condition of the end of the notochord; (2) the relation of the mouth involution to the infundibulum.

In Elasmobranchii, as in other Vertebrata, that part of the cloaca which receives the urinogenital ducts, is in reality the hindermost section of the gut and not the involution of epiblast which eventually meets this.
At first only the mucous layer of the skin takes part in it, but when the involution forms a true groove, both layers of the skin serve to line it.
In our preliminary account we stated[430], in accordance with the general view, that the Muellerian duct was formed as a groove, or elongatedinvolution of the peritoneal epithelium adjoining the Wolffian duct.
Dr Schultz' descriptions are somewhat brief, but differ from my own mainly in stating that the segmental duct arises from an involution instead of as a solid knob.
An involution from the exterior to form the mouth of the cloaca or anus.
The whole theory thus far developed may be dualized, and a theory of lines in involution may be built up, starting with the complete quadrilateral.
Clearly, according as the constant is positive or negative the involution will or will not have double points.
It is further evident that the involution determined on a line by the system of conics will have a double-point where a conic of the system is tangent to the line.
Four harmonic points are for him a special case of six points in involution when two of the three pairs coincide giving double points.
The dual theorem reads: A conic determines at every point in the plane an involution of rays, corresponding rays being conjugate with respect to the conic.
We shall now show that the involution thus obtained on one of the two axes must have double points.
Pencils of rays of the second order in involution 137.
The two points T and N, therefore, where they meet the axis which contains the foci, are corresponding points in the involution considered above, and are therefore harmonic conjugates with respect to the foci (Fig.
We connect the projective theory of involution with the metrical, as usual, by the introduction of the elements at infinity.
We may also extend the notion of involution to pencils of rays of the second order.
