By first modeling the evolutionary process as it relates to man we can then better understand the natural correspondence at solar levels. The evolutionary journey of man extends over a period of millions of years, and is expressed through three stages that involve his three bodies of consciousness. These three stages are seen in the life process over three consecutive rootraces. First as Lemurian man he labored for millions of years in the perfecting of his physical body. Then as Atlantean man he labored for more millions of years perfecting his astral body. Then as Aryan man he is in the process of perfecting his mental body, but over a still lesser period of time.
We are told that there are three successive solar systems that represent the life of one solar Logos. These three systems are expressed through the lives of three types of stars. In the first system the Red Dwarfs constitute almost 90% of all stars in the universe. In the second system there are stars belonging to the Main Sequence like our own Sun. In the final system the few Blue Giants comprise about 1% of the universe. So, in this case each life appearance of the solar Logos is roughly an order of magnitude less in duration. To put this another way, the greater the population for a given type of star the greater the characteristic life span.
The first system will be a small low energy star as exemplified by a Red Dwarf. The solar mass will be in the range from roughly 0.1 to 0.5. This will be a very long lived star with planetary systems having the objective to develop the life process through the lower kingdoms up to the point of individualized man. As such it is described as a third ray system which establishes the manasic principal. Looking at it another way, this achievement establishes the fourth or human kingdom. When this type of star has exhausted its supply of Hydrogen it will become a burned out shell.
The second system will be one belonging to the Main Sequence, in which case the solar mass will vary from 0.5 to 5.0. The path of this system leads through the stage termed a Red Giant, and ultimately this star ends its life as a White Dwarf. The objective of this system is to retrace the evolutionary process up through individual-ized man, and ultimately to monadic consciousness. The earlier part of the evolutionary development is now part of the “universal mind”. So, a human monad seeded into this system will have brought an individualized being up to His level of existence. This system at its completion will have also retraced the evolutionary process of the first system, brought further evolutionary progress, and in that activity brought about a merger or synthesis of the third ray with the second ray.
The third and final system will be a Blue Giant, and will have a rather short life compared to the two previous systems. At the beginning of this system it will be seeded with beings having the level of monadic consciousness, the objective is unknown. The solar mass of this system will vary from 5 to over 100. The end of this system will come with the merger of the 2nd ray with the 1st ray, and the star will experience a shattering explosion, a nova. The remains will be a neutron star. These three systems represent the same process of synthesis on a solar level just as with our human evolution on the physical plane when completed.
The Seven Solar Systems
Our entire solar system is contained within what is termed a “solar sphere”, the physical Sun being at the center. This solar sphere came into existence as the initial step in the creation of this system. This sphere apparently has a life of its own for it has a rotation that is independent of all movement within the sphere. The period of that rotation is about 100,000 years.
Following the path of evolutionary development beyond our solar system we have the Seven Solar Systems. Where there are seven planetary schemes in our system so this greater system now has seven star systems as a correspondence. Again the seven star systems are not the sum total of what is involved, just as there are more than seven planetary schemes in our system. These seven will be the major systems that are necessary for this to be a balanced power structure that involve the seven rays. It should be noted that many smaller solar systems will also be present, and these will typically be Red Dwarfs. Thus the system as a whole will have younger members that will develop to fill out later system requirements as well as filling the lesser present requirements of the greater system. We can see a correspondence in our own human constitution with its 21 minor centers as well as 49 tertiary centers.
We are also told that our Sun as well as the nearby Sirius system are important members of this greater system. Looking at some of the nearby reaches of space we could list other likely stars to be a part of this system. All of these stars will in turn orbit a common point in the heavens, and this point in turn will have its own trajectory.
Other candidates located nearby include Alpha and Beta Centauri. Both of these star systems are actually binaries. Both are also quite close to our system at this point, being only 4.3 light years away. Still other candidates include Procyon in the constellation Canis Minor, Tau Ceti in the constellation Cetus, and Epsilon Eridani. These later three are 10 -12 LY away, and may be seen in the night sky. The last two are also Main Sequence type stars that could well have planets with civilizations like our own while the first three would have civilizations beyond our comprehension.
