431. We have learned that the plants, THAT WERE THE MALE AND FEMALE PRINCIPLES, were as tiny as the antennae of grasshoppers. Their light was feeble, and they did not shine. As soon as they were planted IN A DIFFERENT PLACE, and were improved, their lights grew stronger and they were called "the cedars of Lebanon." Similarly, Adam and Eve did not increase their light or emit A GOOD fragrance before they were planted IN A DIFFERENT PLACE, NAMELY IN THE MALE AND FEMALE PRINCIPLES. But when they were uprooted FROM THEIR PLACE and planted again ON HIGH, IN THE MALE AND FEMALE PRINCIPLES, their existence was firmly established.
