BIBLE VERSES

PLANETARY CHAIN SYSTEM

Each physical globe has three counterpart globes of ascent, and three of descent, on the three planes above the physical, i.e. two on the astral plane, two on the mental, and two on the buddhic. Round this chain of globes the life-wave passes in seven rounds. The life-wave has passed through the seven rounds of the lunar manvantara, and three and a half rounds of the terrene, and is now, therefore, on the fourth globe of the fourth round, which is the planet Earth on which humanity is at present developing. The planetary chain system has its correspondency in the individual soul (the microcosm). The passing of the life-wave from globe to globe synchronises with the evolution of the vestures of the Ego, which enable the mental, astral, and physical natures to receive expression. The globes answer to the means whereby the Ego is enabled to undergo its pilgrimage.

Origen holds to a series of worlds following one upon the other — the one rising a step higher than the other, representing thus a teleological development, so that every later world brings to ripeness the seeds that were imbedded in the former, and itself prepares the seed for that which is to follow.
