“The planets Venus and Jupiter are exceedingly closely connected with the Earth, and form eventually an esoteric triangle.” (Cosmic Fire, p. 370.)
“Each of the planets—of which seven only were called sacred—whether known or unknown, is a septenary, as is also the chain to which the Earth belongs....” (S.D. I. 176.)
[693] “The Dense Physical Planets:
Earth 4th Chain 4th Globe
Jupiter 3rd Chain 4th Globe
Saturn 3rd Chain 4th Globe
Mars 4th Chain 4th Globe
Vulcan 3rd Chain 4th Globe
Venus 5th Chain 5th Globe
Mercury 4th Chain 5th Globe”
(Cosmic Fire, p. 373.)
PLANETS, RAYS AND ESOTERIC TEACHING
Uranus (7th)—The School of Magic of the tenth order. It is sometimes called ‘the planet of the violet force,’ and its graduates wield the power of cosmic etheric prana.
Earth (3rd)—The School of Magnetic Response. Another name given to its pupils is ‘The graduates of painful endeavour’ or the ‘adjudicators between the polar opposites.’ Its graduates are said to undergo examination upon the 3rd subplane of the astral plane.
Vulcan (1st)—The School of Fiery Stones. There is a curious connection between the human units who pass through its halls and the mineral kingdom. The human units on the earth scheme are called ‘the living stones’; on the Vulcan they are called ‘fiery stones.’
[694] Jupiter (2nd)—The School of Beneficent Magicians. This planet is sometimes called in the parlance of the Schools, the ‘College of Quadruple Force Units,’ for its members wield four kinds of force in constructive magical work. Another name given to its halls is ‘The Palace of Opulence’ for its graduates work with the law of Supply and are frequently called the ‘sowers.’
Mercury (4th)—The pupils of this planetary school are called ‘The Sons of Aspiration’ or ‘The points of Yellow Light.’ They have a close connection with our Earth scheme. The name of this school is not given.
Venus (5th)—The School with five strict Grades. This again is a planetary scheme closely related to ours. Its planetary Logos is in a more advanced group of cosmic students than is ours. Most of its hierarchical instructors come from the 5th cosmic plane.
Mars (6th)—The School for Warriors, or the open grades for soldiers. Four of these planetary schools are responsible for the energy flowing through the ‘four castes’ in all parts of the world. Its teachers are spoken of as ‘Graduates of the Ruddy Flame’ and are frequently portrayed as clothed in red robes.... They work under the first logoic aspect and train those whose work is along the lines of the destroyer.
[695] Neptune (6th)—This school concerns itself with the development of the desire element and its graduates are called the ‘Sons of Vishnu.’ (Cosmic Fire. 1177-1179.)
The Schools on Saturn, the Sun, the Moon and on Pluto are not given but complete the twelve planets.
