The Lights and Planets


physical body has matured as much as it is going to. If
we have lived well, our body will sustain itself for some
period of years, and then gradually go into the slow
decline of old age. We all know this.


All of the planetary cycles, from Mercury through to
Jupiter, are contained within one cycle of the planet
Saturn. In fact, all have gone round more than one time
by the time Saturn makes its first round, so we are
familiar with these other planets to some degree. We
have seen how these planets measure our life and
growth after birth, from Mercury out to Saturn. That is
our physical growth and maturation.


What we now want to study, and we are getting to the
meat of this section, is how does our spiritual unfolding
take place? We have seen how the body forms around
the young child, now we want to understand how we
leave the body, how we awaken spiritually. It should not
be surprising that it is the planet Saturn, and the Saturn
chakra, that we first face when we begin to have some
kind of spiritual awakening or self-discovery.


In the sections that follow, we will present this process
of spiritual awakening, planet by planet, in the most
usual order—the order that most people experience it—
from Saturn toward the Sun.
