The first center is also called UN.AR.I.U.S. and functions upon the level of leadership and integration. It is through this particular center and ray which we shall find expression in the political fields or in such leadership as may be valuable to the human race as a whole. We are not referring to any tyrannical dispositions which might have occurred in such personages as Adolph Hitler–for there was an example of machination by the black or evil, or left hand forces. In these centers we are primarily concerned with only the higher and most beneficent of the influences from these celestial dimensions.
In #2 we have education and other methods of concentration, perusal and inquiry. The #3 plane is devoted to philosophy, synthesis and anti-synthesis. The 4th is devoted to the fine inspirational arts–literature, music, sculpturing, drama, painting. The 5th is devoted to science. The 6th, to the Spiritual healing, psychotherapy and other vital elements which are necessary for certain corrections and impingements in the psychic body. The 7th, to devotion and other inspirational methods of obtaining inspiration which may be contained in such beliefs, dogmas, creeds, churches and other religious expressions as exist in the astral and terrestrial dimensions.
Every one of these various solar systems which we find throughout our galaxy seems similar to our own planetary system. Each planetary system has a mother planet; in the case of our own solar system, it is the planet Venus. It is our mother, father, doctor and nurse planet. It functions along the line of spiritual therapy down into the terrestrial dimensions. We shall also find that in the various astral worlds as well as in the terrestrial, each of these seven different centers has its own ray, its own influence and its own relationship. It can be likened to a TV set or a radio. It can also be said that many people are taken to planet Venus during their sleep. They leave their physical bodies on earth and travel to various planets through frequency relationship, which is just above the dividing line of frequency relationship. The book called The Voice of Venus explains this planet and its functions and its relationship to you. It is from this planet that we have much integration in salvaging human derelicts from the various sub-astral worlds or in assisting soldier boys who have been shot in the battlefields or “killed” through other processes. Now it should be easy to see how yourself or your neighbor, or your relative may be linked up through one of these basic centers of UN.AR.I.U.S. by his earth expression.
The scientist will be connected with the fifth center; the artist, musician or poet with the fourth, the philosopher with the third and the teacher with the second. These planets in turn, as has been given to us from the minds of those who dwell on these planets, through mental transmission, have been called for the purpose of identification, various names. #1 is called UN.AR.I.U.S.; #2 Orion; #3 Hermes; #4 Muse; #5 Eros; #6 Venus; #7 Elysium.
Each of these great planets manifests in some way as a huge center. The centers of activity on these planets surpass anything that you might envision on the earth or that you might even imagine could exist. There are temples wherein are initiation ceremonies with ingresses and egresses from these various centers. The temples themselves can hold several million people. We find too, in the processes of initiation, the people will actually walk through huge ten or twenty-foot flames of pure lambent energy. This is done so that their psychic bodies may be cleansed of lower astral and negative vibrations which are literally catalyzed or removed by these energy flames. It is, of course, a painless process in which nothing is felt. We find also in these dimensions that the buildings are constructed primarily from energy as it stems from huge vortexes which are above the centers. Through the processes of the mind and other processes known to the Masters who dwell in these centers, this energy is converted into structures and buildings and so, instead of having drab brown walls as are about us tonight, the walls are constructed of the purest, sparkling, radiant crystals imaginable.
This crystal energy is condensed from the radiant energy which fills the (so-called) void about you. On these higher planets there is no atmosphere because you need none there. You need no lungs, for you function in a spiritual body of pure energy. You both radiate this energy and absorb it. It may be done through the process known on earth as attunement or you may walk through the energy streams or flames which revitalize the spiritual body. If I were to name any one of a hundred or a thousand Adepts, Masters, Initiates, Lords and Logi who live in these centers, the list would be like a reading from the roster of “Who’s Who” of every great life lived upon the earth. We could name any one of thousands, such as Plato, Pythagoras, Jesus, Archimedes, Mohammed, Gandhi, in fact, anyone you would care to name. All have either an affinity or a part and reside either in these centers or in the higher dimensions connected with them. Now going up one more flight in our elevator of Cosmic understanding, we find the “D” of our sketch–the Super-Celestial dimensions–which are connected through the same laws of order and frequency relationship with the seven centers, down to the astral and on down to the terrestrial level.
One way in which to understand the 33 Logi and their particular influence, not only in our own earth but also in various other terrestrial dimensions, is for us to understand the influence of our little earth’s egg-shaped orbit as it travels around the sun. At one point in the cycle, we have the Spring Equinox and directly opposite, we have the Fall Equinox. The same lines of magnetic force of the Universe are stemming out from the sun in the same pinwheel fashion. These are very strong magnetic lines of force. We say that the rotation of the earth requires 365 days and so many odd hours and so many odd minutes, according to the Gregorian calendar, but here is the little joker: every year we wind up minus several degrees, consequently, every four years we need to institute another day in our Gregorian calendar. Now you may question what value this has to you but you will see after a moment’s thought. What this actually means is that the earth is changing its position, according to these radial lines of force, to a more or less degree every year. Now these magnetic lines of force are very important because they determine to a large extent the nutritive value of our crops and they influence our own personal behavior and even Wall Street itself. We also say that animals, as well as people, become more or less prolific. There are certain benign or malign influences which are continually manifesting and remanifesting according to the regression of this cycle. So the earth is greatly influenced by going through the various lines of force in the cycle of the recessional. We need to take a little time to figure out this rotation factor, along with the recessional cycle, in order to get the full impact of the meaning. This entire cycle, taking it from the first point of 360 degrees to where it comes into that relationship again, requires 25,862 years, according to our Gregorian calendar. Back in the old Yoga writings and the Vedic transcripts, we have the similar cycle described, which took 24,000 years. According to the old Lemurian astrophysical calendar, it required 33,000, which corresponds with the 33 Logi which are the dominating influence, not only in these higher centers but also down through the astral and into the terrestrial dimensions. Taking this cycle as a whole, we shall divide it into 12 equal segments like a pie. According to these three different translations of time, we shall find that there will be variances from one cycle to the next from a little over 2,000 years to something like 2,700 years. But whatever the time figures out mathematically, it all means one and the same thing. We can say that we start from Pisces and rotate to Aquarius. That is the basis for your old astrological calendars upon which modern astrology is based. It relates to the relationship of the rotation of the cycle of the recessional. You must bear in mind that all of the other planets with which the sun is concerned are going through the same sort of gyration. They have the same kind of cycle to figure out in relationship to the number of years, months and days required to encircle the sun. They too have a certain cycle of recessional or excessional. Therefore, no matter with what we are concerned, be it human, animal, vegetable or mineral, these forces are intersecting and bisecting these lines of magnetic force, not only from the sun but also from the center of the Universe itself and are influenced by these forces.
Now we are way out in space with our little planetary system which forms one little indiscernible speck of light. The prime purpose of explaining these points is to show you the frequency relationship that we get in manifesting in the innumerable relationships, with our attention on the higher forces, from the lower and back into the higher. Because we start with the Infinite concept of Creation, and to imbue and instill that concept into our psychic centers, we have to build ourselves a spiritual body of individuality, personality, and integration with the Infinite. Consequently, we must come down into the terrestrial dimensions and into the astral to attain all the experience, all the integration, all the knowledge of these various, innumerable linkages.
