II, (Wheaton, IL: Theosophical Publishing House, 1993), 576.</ref> She elaborated further as follows:

	<blockquote>The [[Star_of_David\|six-pointed star]] which is the figure of the macrocosm . . . is made to represent the universal spirit and matter. . . . The Pentagram also represents spirit and matter but only as manifested upon earth. Emblem of the microcosm (or the “little universe”) faithfully mirroring in itself the macrocosm (or the great cosmos), it is the sign of the supremacy of human intellect or spirit over brutal matter.		<blockquote>The [[Star_of_David\|six-pointed star]] which is the figure of the macrocosm . . . is made to represent the universal spirit and matter. . . .
