Theos-Talk Archives (November 1997 Message tt00115)

My friend Dallas.

There are subjects that I would like to write about.
Such as: What is the nature of the Etheric Brain.?
What are the relations of the etheric centers with the Etheric Brain.?
Does the Etheric Brain have a within replica, of the etheric centers.
Does our Planetary etheric body, also have such a replica of the higher and
the lower centers.?

Have you studied these subjects.?

Regarding your letter:
One day of Brahma is called a "Kalpa". And that Solar Systemic day is:
4.320.000.000 years. One thousand Maha Yugas constitute a Kalpa.
Add with that, the period: The night of Brahma; then we have another equal
cycle of years: 4.320.000.000 Thus we have: 8.640.000.000 years.
One Solar Systemic year, a year of Brahma is: 360 days and nights of
Brahma, and is in time: 3.110.400.000.000 years

Hundred such periods- of Solar Systemic years - make a "Maha Kalpa."
That is in years: 311.040.000.000.000

We must be careful, and make a difference between using the word Kalpa or
Maha Kalpa.

The word Kalpa, means a period of time between a conjunction of all the planets
in our Solar System towards the first point of the Constellation of Aries, and
then again the interval towards another such conjunction.

This Systemic conjunction is in such a way; - that the planets are in focus
alignment direct to the Sun. And therefore, the Sun is in between the
starting point in Aries and all the planets.

This cyclic period of a Kalpa, and planetary conjunctions, is also the
deciding factor for our lesser cycles of Races: Such as Root-races,
Sub-races and Branch-races.
This is also the archetype factor for our: Systemic, Palanetary and Seasonal
Zodiacs.

-------------
Let us look at this text in The Secret Doctrine:

..."Now our Fifth Root-race has already been in existence --as a race sui
generis
and quite free from its parent stem -- about 1.000.000 years; therefore it must
be inferred that each of the four preceding Sub-Races has lived approximately
210.000 years; thus each Family-Race has an average existence of about
30.000 years. Thus the European "Family Race" has still a good many thousand
years to run, although the nations or the innumerable spines upon it, vary
with each succeeding "season" of three or four thousand years. It is
somewhat curious to mark the comparative approximation of duration between
the lives of a "Family-Race" and a "Sidereal year.".....S. D. .p.435..II

..., "as the three Zodiacs belong to three different epochs: namely, to the
last three family races of the fourth Sub-race of the Fifth Root-race, each
of which must have lived approximately from 25 to 30.000 years"... S. D.
.p.433..II

It is common to use the word "Manvantara" for a "Globe Period".
And each Globe Period includes seven Rounds, or in other words: seven
times 49 Root-Races. Or 343 Root Races manifested.
Thus, The Planetary Schemes manifests through 343 Rounds - World Periods.
There are seven Globe-Periods in a Planetary-Chain.
And each Globe Period is whipped by the history of time from the past Solar
Systems of Ours. Therefore we must at every time, seek for the higher cycle.

My friend Dallas.
I would like to write more about the "Evolutionary Cycles" and related
subjects. But I do not want to load the mail list.

There are subjects that I would like to write about.
Such as: What is the nature of the Etheric Brain.?
What are the relations of the etheric centers with the Etheric Brain.?
Does the Etheric Brain have a within replica, of the etheric centers.
Does our Planetary etheric body, also have such a replica of the higher and
the lower centers.?

Have you studied these subjects.?

Those questions come to my mind, as I have seen the human Etheric Brain
in function. That is a wondrous function.


Best wishes,
