Okay. All right. We have learned a great deal about the planet Mars. Mars added up. Dr. Braun. Million miles away from the planet Earth lies the red planet, Mars. In our physical world, we see it as a mysterious dead rock. But Mars is very much alive. You see, we can't see our cosmos on just a 3D material level and expect to understand it. Our cosmos is a multidimensional space. That is what it is. It consists of various densities dimensions, timelines and even the evolutionary pathways of mankind. If we view our cosmos through purely physical parameters we will never understand it and only form a fragmented, reductionist opinion. Insisting on only acknowledging the most obvious physical plane is like stepping out your front door and walking around your neighborhood and saying that you've traveled the world. It's ridiculous. When we are talking about the cosmos, we have to understand that we are talking about ourselves. So before we can get into the specific occult presence of Mars in our world we have to understand our connection to the planets. So what is the cosmos to us beyond a bunch of ice, gas and rocks? Well, our cosmos is like a schoolhouse. Each planetary sphere represents a distinct step of human evolution a distinct time in human development. Celestial bodies are different times. They're different densities. This is actually what the concept of a stargate is. Stars being organic ways to travel the different phases of our own evolution in the cosmos. At our core, we are energy. And that energy is often called a soul or our spirit and it moves through various stages of development. This is similar to how we move from being an infant to a toddler to a teenager to an adult and so on. Evolution, transformation and change is law. Our soul passes through various stages of development that are held within the celestial bodies. This reality is forgotten today but is maintained in texts like the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Vedic tradition. And even Gnosticism speaks about our human consciousness moving through various planetary planes upon our death and even rebirth. Thus, within the ancient traditions, the planetary spheres are considered planes of development that are directly linked to humanity and to our Earth. Ideally, we live our lives in awareness of the higher planetary worlds. We seek to harmonize with them. So Earth is directly linked with Mars. Venus. Mercury. Jupiter. The Moon. The sun. All celestial bodies are part of our human evolutionary scheme or they are steps in human evolution. They are aspects of ourselves or junction points that our soul visits and even incarnates into. The only reason why we see planets as primarily physical things is because we are so entrenched in the material world that we cannot easily access realities that are beyond the 3D mind. In fact, we often fear, shun and shame the esoteric level of our being. We only feel safe and accepted in the most reduced materialist interpretation of the planets and stars. But you don't have to take my word for it. Edgar Cayce has commented about the planets as evolutionary steps in depth in his work Planetary Soldiers. Here he describes the transformative evolution the soul makes as it incarnates through various planetary spheres as a means to re merge with the creator, each planet being a specific step, vibration or initiation back into the oneness of the creator. This is from reading 136 80. As the entity moves from sphere to sphere, seeks its way to the home, to the face of the creator, the Father, the first cause. He expands upon this concept in reading 311 two. And he says as an entity passes on from this present or this solar system, the sun, these forces it passes through the various spheres leading first into that central force known as Arcturus nearer the Pleiades on and on through the eons of time or space even passing into the inner forces inner sense. May they align after a period of nearly 10,000 years enter into the Earth to make manifest those forces gained in its passage. In entering it, the entity takes on those forms that may be known in the dimensions of that plane which it occupies, there being not only three dimensions as of the Earth, but there may be as seven in Mercury or four in Venus, or five as in Jupiter. There may only be one as Mars. There may be many more as in those of Neptune. Or they may be as nil until purified in Saturn's fires. In reading 916 and 57 55, one easy explains that each planetary sphere and star must be lived so that we can return to oneness or come full circle in our development. For without passing through each and every stage of development, there is not the correct vibration to become one with the Creator. Then, in the many stages of development, throughout the universal or in the great system of the universal forces, in each stage of development is made manifest through flesh, which is the testing portion of the universal vibration. In this manner, then, and for this reason, all are made manifest in flesh. And there is development through the eons of time, space, and that called eternity. Each planetary influence vibrates at a different rate of vibration. An entity entering that influence enters that vibration. Not necessary that he change, but it is the grace of God that he may. It is part of the universal consciousness, the universal law. Hence, the entity passes along those stages that some have seen as planes, some have seen as steps, some have seen as cycles, and some have experienced as places. Casey is not the only person to discuss the planets as key evolutionary bodies for humanity. In a Vedic tradition and budhism, the planetary consciousnesses are called locas. And each loca represents a different type of consciousness relative to the Earth. We pass through each loca upon our death as a means to reintegrate with the higher worlds. And we can also connect with these locas during meditation or astral travel. There are also beings that are within the locas or beings within the various planetary spheres. And these beings can be seen as guardians in the higher levels of the higher realms and as demons or dark entities in the denser realms. The different celestial planes exist internally and externally. They make up both the structure of our inner
