The Solar System According to C. W. Leadbeater

“PLANET MERCURY REVEALED”

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Dear friends,

We all know how important it is, from the theosophical viewpoint, to 
understand  as correctly as  we can  the universe,  and  especially  our own 
solar system.

This effort has a PRACTICAL importance because,  as H. P. Blavatsky says in 
“The Secret Doctrine” [The Theosophy Co. Edition,  p. 17],  there is a 
“fundamental identity of all souls with the Universal Over-Soul”.   That is 
why, according to H.P.B., the hindus say that Brahma, the Universe, is in 
every atom of the universe.

We ourselves are microcosms, or microcosmic versions of the universe as a 
whole. Looking at the solar system, the student of esoteric philosophy 
vaguely discerns a wider picture of his own  soul.  Page 105 of  “The Secret 
Doctrine”  [The Theosophy Co.]   elaborates on this crucial micro-macro 
relationship.

Having established the need for as much accuracy as we can in our vision of 
the solar system and the universe, let’s see now  what are the  revelations 
Mr. Charles Leadbeater  can make to us about  the planet Mercury. As you 
will see, these revelations could shake the very foundations of NASA’s 
present research programs on our solar system. Not to mention the European 
Space Agency.

C.W. L., an  astonishing clairvoyant  who proudly announced  the Second 
Coming  of Lord Christ and the end of all wars  during  the 20th century,  
has this  impressive report on the planet Mercury:

“Of our future home, Mercury, we know much less than of  Mars, for visits to 
it have been hurried and infrequent. Many people would think it incredible 
that life such as ours could exist on Mercury, with a sun that appears at 
least seven times as large as it does here.  The heat, however, is not at 
all so intense as it would be supposed.  I am informed that this is due to 
the presence of a layer of gas on the outskirts of the Mercurian atmosphere, 
which prevents most of the heat  from penetrating.  We are told also that 
the most destructive of all possible storms on Mercury is one which  even 
for a moment disturbs the stability of this gaseous envelope.  When that 
happens a kind of whirl-pool is set up in it, and for a moment a shaft of 
direct sunlight comes from the sun through its vortex.  Such a  shaft 
instantly destroys whatever life comes in its way, and burns up in a moment 
everything combustible. Fortunately such storms are rare.  The inhabitants 
whom I have seen there are much like ourselves, though again somewhat 
smaller.”

So if you  are planning to spend vacations on Mercury any time soon,  you 
must take your umbrella with you, because of the dangerous sunlight.  As to  
Mercurians,  Mr. Leadbeater kindly reveals that they enjoy jumping into 
their houses:

“The influence of gravity both on Mars and Mercury is less than half what it 
is on earth, but while on Mars I did not notice any particular way in which 
advantage had been taken of this,  I observed on Mercury that  the doors of 
houses were quite a considerable height from the ground, needing what for us 
would be a respectable gymnastic feat to reach them,  though on Mercury it 
is only a slight spring that is required.  All the inhabitants of that 
planet are from birth possessed of etheric sight;  I remember that the fact 
was first brought to my notice by observing  a child who w as watching a the 
movements of some crawling creature; and I saw that when it entered its 
abode he was still able to follow its movements,  even when it was deep down 
under the ground.”
(Bibliographical commentaries: This is from the book “Inner Life”, by C. W. 
Leadbeater, Section Ten. Published  by the magazine “Theosophical History”, 
London, January 1988, see page 148 for the sentences quoted above.  I also 
have the same text in the Spanish edition of “Inner Life”, by CWL,  
published in Buenos Aires by Editorial Glem. A Brazilian edition of the book 
“The Solar System”, by Mr. Arthur Powell –  a follower of C.W.L.’s  –   can 
still be bought in Brazil with this description of physical life on Mercury. 
 Another author and leading Adyar clairvoyant, Mr. Geoffrey Hodson,  
followed the same track at least up to the 1950s. Yet in later years the USA 
TPH editions of the book “Inner Life”, by C.W.L., have silently eliminated 
this description,  as well as the longer and  astonishing description of 
physical life on Mars.)
