The Sacred and non-sacred planets and the rays.

[See Figure]

 

38. "The exoteric non-sacred planets are called in occult parlance "the outer round" or outer circle of initiates. Of these our Earth is one but being aligned in a peculiar fashion with certain spheres (or planets) on the inner round a dual opportunity exists for humanity which facilitates, whilst it complicates, the evolutionary process. The sacred planets are called often the 'seven grades of psychic knowledge' or the 'seven divisions of the field of knowledge'." (C.F. 1175.)

Such "blinds" are frequent and necessary in the occult teaching but they will be used less and less as humanity becomes more spiritually perceptive.
