Part Five: The Solar System
The evolutionary process upon planetary and solar levels follows with an interesting correspondence to that encountered in the case of man. In fact, once our own evolutionary journey is understood, the pattern these higher worlds follow begins to emerge in our understanding. While our lives, through finite increments, stretch over spans of many millions of years, it is still possible to comprehend the continuing series of planetary and solar lives that stretch similarly on a cosmic scale. The universe may be considered without beginning or end in our terms.
The nervous system of man is comprised of seven major etheric centers, and these have a physical reflection in our human endocrine system. Our solar system is similarly comprised of seven manifesting planetary schemes which function as centers in the body of our solar Logos. Each of these manifesting planetary schemes will undergo a sequential process in which ultimately the human units go through their individual evolutionary development. The manifest destiny of all planetary schemes is built around the evolutionary process played out through the development of all kingdoms.
Now, on a higher turn of the spiral, we have three separate and successive solar systems. Each of these solar systems is quite different in nature and may be represented by three types of stars. First, the vast numbers of red dwarfs, next the main sequence types like our own Sun, and finally the relative few blue giants.
While the life duration of any solar system will vary inversely as the mass of the star varies, the life of each of these solar groups will vary directly with the star type population. A system one star is the most numerous, and since this type represents about 90% of the universe, the life of this type can be typically expected to be almost ten times as long as that of a system two star. Similarly, the life of a system three star will be short as the number found is in the order of 0.01% of all that is. Thus the population ratios approximate 0.9 : 0.1 : 0.01, the sum being a unity.
The building of a solar system proceeds much as does a planet or for that matter a human being, namely from the top down, building subplane by subplane until reaching objectivity. This building process is such that in a steady state universe, the result is that only 1/7th of the universe is seen objectively at any time, thus other star systems not physically manifest are simply at a different stage of their life cycle.
We are told that our Sun exists as a part of yet a larger system. This system is referred to as the “Seven Solar Systems”, and what we have then is a situation that models our solar system, only now the correspondence to each planet has become a star system. What this means is that many nearby stars are actually companion stars with our own Sun in this greater system. Thus the nearby bright star Sirius is an important companion in this larger system. Both the star Sirius as well as our own Sun, in turn revolve around another common center in the heavens.
All “Moons” are dead worlds. As such they no longer travel an orbit around the Sun but rather around some planetary world. In that situation all life existences have been withdrawn to the world about which they now revolve. Just as when we undergo the change called death leaving behind our physical form, this is the process we see happening on a planetary scale. The planet Saturn represents a principle planet of synthesis where synthesis represents a bringing together as well as transference of the life essence.
We are told that there are some 60 billion human monads in our system. There are at present 6 billion in incarnation on the physical plane of our Earth scheme. At least an equal number will exist in the astral and etheric worlds, and the considerable rest dwell upon other planetary worlds. We do not see or sense the advanced civilizations that exist on the nearby worlds of Venus, Mercury and Vulcan because all kingdoms exist only in etheric matter.
The Blog that follows will have further commentary upon life in our solar system.
