View source for Hyle

(Gk.).  The first matter of the universe.  Helena P. BLAVATSKY states that, “The ''Hyle'' of the Greeks, however, most certainly did not apply to the matter of this plane, for they adopted it from the Chaldean cosmogony, where it was used in a highly metaphysical sense” (''CW'' X:306).
