This is so different to a picture of the surface of Mars in 1976. The
symbols and illustrations in the original text of the S.D. go to the soul of
things, and do cover thousands of generations, and do relate to the Wisdom
of the Ages. The Tau for example, the glyph of the third root-race to the
day of its symbolical Fall, some 18,000,000 years ago. To me the Mars
picture doesn't relate to the Wisdom of the Ages, but it does raise the
question, is it in fact Wise to be thinking of exploring a planet that is in
obscuration?
-----------------

Tony, the spacecraft picture doesn't say anything against the Ancient
Wisdom.
If oyu compare the photos with the text one can also come to the conclusion
that the first deal with the inner worlds and the latter with the outer
ones.
Why is that wrong? One must recognisze a text not only from one point.
As you know well, HPB states that there are seven keys of understanding.
Seeing the Mars photos one can come also to the conclusion that our modern
science hasn't yet reached the level of research as the old scientists.
There more when considering the statement that mars is now in its pralaya
("obscuration").
Another point could be the question: Were there ancient astronauts in the
past?
>From the earth and/or the mars?
Perhaps to the intuitive mind other questions appear.
I am not quite sure that I am right. Just a brain storming.
