Suggestions for Students





The Sacred and
non-sacred planets and the rays:
38. The exoteric
non-sacred planets are called in occult parlance "the outer round" or outer
circle of initiates. Of these our Earth is one but being aligned in a peculiar fashion
with certain spheres (or planets) on the inner round a dual opportunity exists for
humanity which facilitates, whilst it complicates, the evolutionary process. The sacred
planets are called often the 'seven grades of psychic knowledge' or the 'seven
divisions of the field of knowledge'." (C.F. 1175)
The following from The Secret Doctrine Vol. III, page 455, Diagram II, is
suggestive, though exoteric and deliberately misleading as the sacred and non-sacred
planets are mixed together and many planets omitted altogether,

 Such "blinds" are frequent and
necessary in the occult teaching but they will be used less and less as humanity becomes
more spiritually perceptive.
Seven great psychological Lives, qualified by seven types of life force, are
manifesting through the medium of seven planets. Five other Lives express themselves
through five planets, of which two remain to be discovered.
The Sun (Substituted for Vulcan)
Jupiter
Saturn
Mercury
Venus
