These globes exist on the four lower planes of the cosmos. Earth is the fourth globe, and is positioned at the lowest point in the cycle, being the most material globe of the chain. Monads begin evolving on the first globe, which is positioned on the highest plane. They gradually descend through the second and third globes, until they reache the Earth. After finishing their evolutionary cycle on Earth, the Monads pass on to the next globe on a higher plane, and continue to ascend until they reache the last globe on the highest plane. This completes one [[Round]] of evolution. A Planetary chain consists of seven Rounds, after which it is destroyed.
