It might be a little of both.  In Volume 1 of "The Secret Doctrine,"

are eternal[...]", that "[...] unmodified matter [...] and spirit, are
eternally one, [...] immutable and unconsumable, [...] , in eternity

I was of the impression that, just like dozens of other pairs of
opposites I could list, spirit cannot exist without matter.
