On the Septenary Constitution of our Planet “Enquirer: I understand that you describe our Earth as forming part of a chain of earths? Theosophist: We do. But the other six ‘earths,’ or globes, are not on the same plane of objectivity as our Earth is; therefore, we cannot see them. Enquirer: Is that on account of the great distance? Theosophist: Not at all, for we see with our naked eye planets and even stars at immeasurably greater distances, but it is owing to those six globes being outside our physical means of perception or plane of being. It is not only that their material density, weight, or fabric are entirely different from those of our Earth and the other known planets; but they are (to us) on an entirely different layer of space, so to speak; a layer not to be perceived or felt by our physical senses.” “Our philosophy teaches us that, as there are seven fundamental forces in nature and seven planes of being, so there are seven states of consciousness in which man can live, think, remember, and have his being. To enumerate these here is impossible, and for this, one has to turn to the study of Eastern metaphysics.” “Enquirer: You do not accept, then, the well-known explanations of biology and physiology to account for the dream state? Theosophist: We do not. We reject even the hypotheses of your psychologists, preferring the teachings of Eastern Wisdom. Believing in seven planes of Kosmic being and states of Consciousness, with regard to the Universe or the Macrocosm, we stop at the fourth plane, finding it impossible to go with any degree of certainty beyond. But with respect to the Microcosm or man, we speculate freely on his seven states and principles. Enquirer: How do you explain these? Theosophist: We find, first of all, two distinct beings in man; the spiritual and the physical, the man who thinks and the man who records as much of these thoughts as he is able to assimilate. Therefore, we divide him into two distinct natures; the upper or the spiritual being, composed of three ‘principles’ or aspects; and the lower or the physical quaternary, composed of four— in all seven.”
