Suggestions for Students





26. "Mercury
and Venus, the Sun and the Moon constitute the 'Guardian angels of the four corners of the
Earth." [646] Note:
The sun and
moon veil hidden planets.
These are
the four Maharajas, connected with karma, humanity, cosmos and man.
They are the
Sun or its substitute - Michael.
They are the Moon or its substitute - Gabriel.
They are Mercury or its substitute - Raphael.
They are Venus or its substitute - Uriel. (S.D. Vol. III, 459)

27.
"Saturn - governs the devotional faculties.
Mercury - governs the intellectual facilities.
Jupiter - governs the sympathetic faculties.
The Sun - governs the governing faculties.
Mars - governs the selfish faculties.
Venus - governs the tenacious faculties.
Moon - governs the instinctual faculties." (S.D. Vol. III, 463)
28.
"The seven Angels Who preside over the seven planets are the Builders of the
Universe. They are the natural Guardians of the seven regions of our planetary
system." (S.D. Vol. III, 115)
29.
"The seven Builders graft the divine and the beneficent forces on to the gross
material nature of the vegetable and mineral kingdoms every Second Round."
(S.D. Vol. III, 162; Note I)
30.
"The seven planetary Spirits or Angels... are identical with the Dhyan Chohans of the
esoteric doctrine and have been transformed into the archangels and the Spirits of the
Presence by the Christian Church." (S.D. Vol. III, 160)
31.
"The seven chief Deities... are the rays of the One Boundless Unity."
(S.D. Vol. III, 229) [647]
32.
"Each of the seven chambers of the Pyramid was known by the name of one of the
planets." (S.D. Vol. III, 247)
33.
"The Kabiri were always the seven planets... who together with their Father, the Sun
...composed a powerful ogdoad." (S.D. Vol. III, 316)
34.
"The Ancients knew of seven planets besides the sun... The seventh with two others
were mystery planets." (S.D. Vol. III, 316, Note)
35.
"The solar system is (from the higher cosmic planes) seen as a vast blue lotus and so
on down the scale; even the tiny atom of substance can be so considered... The solar
system is a twelve-petalled lotus, each petal being formed of forty-nine lesser petals.
The planetary lotuses differ in each scheme and one of the secrets of initiation is
revealed when the number of petals of:
Our earth
planet
Our
planetary polar opposite
Our
complementary equilibrizing planet
is committed to the initiate." (C.F. 1018)

36.
"Within the Hall of Wisdom, there exists a department of which the modern
astrological organizations are dim and uncertain reflections. The Adepts connected with it
work not with humanity but concern Themselves specifically with "casting the
horoscopes" of the various great lives who inform... the kingdoms of nature, with
ascertaining the nature of the karmic influences working out in the manifestation of the
three planetary Logoi (mentioned under point 35 above)... They progress these various
horoscopes [648] for the next stated cycle and Their records are of profound interest. I
would conjure students to refrain from attempting to form cyclic computations of any kind
for as yet the many constellations which exist only in physical matter of an etheric
nature are unknown and unseen. Yet they are potent in influence and until etheric vision
is developed, all calculations will be full of error." (C.F. 1057)
37. "A
planetary Logos is the meeting place for two types of force, spiritual or logoic, which
reaches Him... from the seven Rishis of the Great Bear on Their own plane, and, secondly,
of buddhic force which is transmitted via the seven Sisters or the Pleiades from a
constellation called The Dragon and from which has come the appellation 'The Dragon of
Wisdom'." (C.F. 1162)
