253. The Three Great Centres
In the previous chapter we have postulated that
there are three great centres of force for a disciple who
has attained the fourth stage of unfolding. These three
forces form the Solar, the Lunar and the Earth principles.
A principle differs from a planet, in that a planet is the
result of a principle and the principle is the cause of that
particular planet in any solar system. The planets we see
now in the solar system are but symbols through which
the concealed planetary principles are revealed as the
workings of that planet. These workings of the planets
form but an allegory of the life which is concealed in the
planet as a principle and revealed through incidents.
Normally the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are
known only as planetary globes by the exoteric students
of astrology. In fact these globes are the physical bodies
of the planetary deputees in our solar system. These
deputees are the conscious entities which live in those
planetary globes as great living beings. They also live on
these globes as the units of life that inhabit the planet.
These units are called lives which are, in fact, the many
atoms of the matter concerned, but of one life in the group-
level or soul-level.
The Sun, the Moon and the Earth live in every one
of us as principles just as they live in any one of the atoms
of this earth globe. In the human constitution which is
but a potential solar system of an evolved atom, they live
as the three great principles: the Spirit (the Invisible Sun),
