This journey into our heavenly Abode compares and elaborates some indications from the Ancient Wisdom Tradition that present the human being as a cosmic creature, within a universal hologram based on qualitative correspondences and analogies between the various levels of the Manifestation.
According to these indications, our solar System is propelled, constructed and in-formed by the “influence of other constellations”:
“Like the planetary atom, the solar atom not only rotates on its axis but likewise spirals in a cyclic fashion through the Heavens. This is a different activity to the drift or progressive dynamic motion through the Heavens. It deals with the revolution of our Sun around a central point [1] and with its relation to the three constellations so oft referred to in this Treatise:
The Great Bear.
The Pleiades.
The Sun Sirius.
These three groups of solar bodies are of paramount influence where the spiral cyclic activity of our system is concerned. Just as in the human atom the spiral cyclic activity is egoic and controlled from the egoic body, so in connection with the solar system these three groups are related to the logoic Spiritual Triad, atma-buddhi-manas, and their influence is dominant in connection with solar incarnation, with solar evolution, and with solar progress.
Further, it must be added that the third type of motion to which our system is subjected, that of progress onward, is the result of the united activity of the seven constellations (our solar system forming one of the seven) which form the seven centres of the cosmic Logos. This united activity produces a uniform and steady push (if it might so be expressed) toward a point in the heavens unknown as yet to even the planetary Logoi.” [2]
Various indications on these higher cosmic systems, organized according to a Model 1-3-7, are scattered in the reference texts: we have collected them, compared them according to the Law of Correspondence and analogical thinking and, at our level of understanding, we have tried to develop this astrosophical investigation into the solar and cosmic essence of humanity.
And therefore, aiming our loving gaze into the Unknown, we asked ourselves:
What are the cosmic, monadic [3] paths of the most abundant life, the rows of “controlled magnets” beyond the Solar horizon of the Zodiac?
Well, the Teaching mentions a cosmic Zodiac with 10 Constellations, superior to the solar one with 12 Signs, composed precisely of the 3 “intimate constellations” Great Bear, Sirius, Pleiades and Seven Solar Systems: [4]
The “control of form through a septenate of energies” (as it is defined in the Old Commentary) is an unalterable rule in the inner government of our universe and of our particular solar system, as well as in the case of individual man. There are, for instance, in our solar system, seven sacred planets which correspond to the seven individual force centres in man, the seven solar systems, of which our solar system is one, and in their turn the seven energy centres of the One to Whom I have referred in my other books as the One About Whom Naught Can Be Said.
Much has been given in the occult books of which the average astrologer remains profoundly unaware. It is essential that he learns to think in larger Wholes and to be more deeply concerned with the emanating Sources and with the eternal persistent Causes than with the effects of these Sources upon that ephemeral creation, a human being and his temporary existence upon a most unimportant planet. As he seeks to do this, he will discover for himself the signs of the essential divinity of man—a divinity which is to be found in the infinite grasp of man’s consciousness when illumined by the light of the soul and in his power to project his thought into the consciousness of those manifold Lives Whose “energetic movements” he must perforce share because his small modicum of energy is an integral part of Theirs.
… Sirius, the Great Bear and the Pleiades work through the medium of the twelve constellations, pouring their influences through nine of them in particular, but that these major constellations are not part of the zodiac with which we are concerned. They, with the seven solar systems of which ours is one, are the ten constellations connected with a still greater zodiac which is not conditioned by the numerical significance of the number twelve. Hence ten is regarded as the number of perfection.”[5]
The above Diagram at 10 Constellations summarizes our hypotheses, orchestrated by the creative imagination in a joyful flight in the “cloud of knowable things”, in search of:
