By the sky containing great stars (houses of the Solar Angels),
by the Promised Day,
by the Witness and the Witnessed:
perish the Men (hasnamussen) of the Ditch (the abyss who failed to conquer their lunar mind)!
The fire, abounding in fuel (in the tritocosmos or center of any planet, the infernal worlds),
above which they sat (in Malkuth before falling)
as they were themselves
witnesses to what they did to the faithful.
They were vindictive towards them only
because they had faith in Allah,
the All-mighty, the All-laudable,
to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens (Deuterocosmos, Macrocosmos, Ayoscosmos, and Protocosmos)
and the earth (Mesoscosmos and Microcosmos),
and Allah is witness to all things.
-Qur'an 85:1-8
For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought. -Bayazid al-Bastami
Audience: I read that there are thirteen planets in this solar system, including the Sun. Are there six more rays beyond the seven thrones?
Instructor: No, only seven, seven mighty rays. The other five planets, we will say, to make twelve, right? According to The Pistis Sophia there are twelve saviors; the Sun being the center, the thirteenth. The other planets have to accommodate themselves to the seven rays. They have to subordinate to the seven rays. The master says the highest hierarchy in this solar system is the seven. That is the highest, which is Raphael, Gabriel, Uriel, Michael, Samael, Zachariel and Orifiel; that is the highest. Below them, these other hierarchies that have to accommodate or to arrange themselves under the seven, which are related of course with the other Logoi of the other planets. Because after Saturn, you find Neptune, Uranus, Pluto, Vulcan, Persephone and Clarion. They have to align themselves to the seven, below the seven. But they are Logoi, and of course they are related with what master Jesus says, the twelve saviors related with the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve apostles. Each one of them have their particular part in each one of us. In the book The Pistis Sophia you read about twelve, and about twenty-four. The twenty-four of course are related with the Zodiac, Chokmah. Twenty-four elders of the Zodiac, the twenty-fourth mystery which is very profound.
