Welcome back to a new adventure for this monad. Before we start I wish to announce that I have decided to issue two presentations a week over this series. Why? Because I have finished scripting half of the series and I have already written 31 episodes. At this rate, I will take over a year to complete the series. That is too long to spend on one topic, even if the topic is vast and interesting. So expect a presentation to drop on Mondays and Thursdays. Now is the time to hit that bell icon if you have not already done so.
The day has finally come to embark on an explanation about the development of the Solar System. Excluding the recaps, this is the 200th presentation presented by this adventurous monad. During that time, we have looked at the evolution of a monad through the 4th, the Human Kingdom of Nature. We have also touched on the movement of the monad from Ante-Verse onto the 1st Plane in our universe and then its path of involution, evolution and finally expansion. This is a very grand sweep of time. Let us now focus, on our passage through our solar system and where we fit into a scheme that involves the interplay between a solar monad, several planetary monads and a host of other beings that make up a chain of command that facilitate the involution, evolution and expansion of monads passing through the Cosmic Physical Planes of matter.
The source material for this series of presentations starts, where all esoteric studies start, from the Secret Doctrine penned by H.P. Blavatsky. However, it was one of her prodigies, Charles Leadbeater that actually did the spade work to piece together a framework of how we have evolved through our solar system today. How did he do this? Firstly, he was an initiate and was objectively conscious in his 47:3 molecule. This equates to the level of intuition. A disciple having reached this level of consciousness is able to investigate the Akashic Records at a casual level. They can view developments in worlds 47 to 49 at a material level but not a consciousness level and not in worlds 46 and above. It is the usually held perception that once you reach causal consciousness, even if it is only at the 1st of three levels, you know the causes of events that you review. This is true to a point, but you still need to understand the “science” behind the images presented to you. If the level of knowledge prevailing at the time you make your investigations is such that certain concepts are not in general circulation yet, then the way you interpret the causes of events is going to appear erroneous to later generations looking at the information you have conveyed and the assumptions you made at the time. In this vein, I warn the viewer that the series of presentations being made today and in the future will reexamine the information gleaned by Leadbeater and perhaps draw different conclusions. This does not make the reexamination of events any nearer the truth. It means that there are other possible explanations for events that have been recounted. Where this occurs, both scenarios will be presented and it is up to you to draw your own conclusions.
Another point I wish to make is that in moving through the information presented, attention is given to events in various rounds and globes, especially on the Moon chain, which may seem dry and academic. The reason that this information is presented is that you come to understand that events that happened on the previous chain in the Earth Scheme, which may seem laborious to recount, but eventually end up having a significant impact on the root races of our own globe.
Some of the information that is presented is quite dense and needs to be thought through to understand the intricacies of the processes. You will have to excuse my almost complete lack of any graphic skills, as I try to rework the diagrams used originally by Leadbeater and later, Arthur Powell, who did an excellent summary of Leadbeater’s work.
All that said, let us begin starting with some terminology. The Earth and the other planets in our system are known as globes. Our own earth is one of a series of seven globes: that series is known as a chain, and the Earth is the densest of the seven globes of its chain.
The seven globes of the Earth chain consist of:
Two Mental globes (47:4-7).
Two Emotional globes (48:1-7)
Two Etheric globes (49:1-4)
One Physical globe (49:5-7)
It should be noted that the globes of every chain do not necessarily follow this format: but we will get around to looking at other possibilities in due course. It should also be pointed out that Leadbeater had three physical globes, whereas I have two etheric and one physical globe. The reason is that each successive globe is either descending or ascending in density around a chain. So although, for example, there are two Mental globes, A and G, they are on different trajectories. By assuming there are three physical globes, Leadbeater had to locate them in space and this promptly lead to the breakup of the Theosophical Society. More on that later.
Another thing to point out is although each globe is represented in its own space on the diagram, this does not need to occur in reality, as each globe is of a different density and so can be nested within each other. However, Leadbeater does state that each globe, A through G, occupies a unique position in space. Why this may be the case will become evident as the series goes into depth as to how transitions are made from one chain to another.
Looking at the diagram, what is a mental globe? It is a world just like ours, but instead of being made of matter, atomic and molecular, drawn from World 49, it is made from matter drawn from the four lowest subplanes of the Mental World (47:4-7). This world, therefore, has no emotional or physical matter contained within it yet.
Each globe, however, possesses ”counterparts,” as they are called, of the various grades of matter finer than itself: thus, a physical globe possesses its counterparts of Etheric, Emotional, Mental, Causal, Unity (46) and Spiritual (45) globes.
Any one globe, however, must not be imagined as occupying a position in space separate and distinct from its counterparts, because this is not the case. The counterparts of a globe occupies the same position in space as the globe itself, with this clarification that the spheres of higher or finer matter are larger than those of lower matter. They interpenetrate and extend beyond the periphery of the lower matter spheres, just as our emotional body interpenetrates and extends beyond the confines of our physical body. A truer representation of the globes would therefore be as shown in this image
What can we conclude so far? Everything evolves. Something does not come out of nothing and the process starts from more refined matter and gets denser before returning to a finer grade of matter. This is how a chain is built out and how our planet came into existence. It started, in our case as a collection of mental matter. Whose mental matter? That of the Planetary Logos. Within this metal matter, a ring-pass-not was created that coalesced into a globe. Within this defined space monads undergo consciousness development, presided over by other monads, who are much more evolved and can influence the environment within this globe.
The globe gradually descended further into matter and in doing so encased within itself, emotional matter, which allowed the monads evolving within this space to develop and function on two planes of matter. Down this process goes until you finally end up with a physical planet, our Earth; our very own spaceship. The transition from one globe to another is not immediate. There is an intermediate stasis, which we call a pralaya. During this time, the monads evolving through the chain are held in limbo until they “wake up” and in the case of globe D, reincarnate. How long does a globe last before the life wave moves on? Laurency tells us that in our particular chain, it is about 700 million years per globe. It is also worth stating now that Laurency is of the opinion that scientists have drastically overestimated the age of the Earth by a factor of two. So when we are told that the Earth is 4.3 billion years old, it is only half that. As a rule of thumb, a pralaya lasts about half the time of a globe. So, to get from globe A to globe G takes approximately 4.2 billion years. If you factor in five pralayas, another 1.75 billion years, you are talking about a very long period of time. You then factor in that we are in a scheme that has seven chains, and you quickly begin to realise that the touted age of the whole universe of about 14 billion years just does not fly in our Hylozoic framework.
This got me scratching my head, because even if you halved the age of the planet down to 2 billion odd years, the fossil and geological strata would still imply that over 700 million years had elapsed. To answer this conundrum we have to look at the second title in this presentation, “Rounds”. That will be the initial topic for the next presentation.
