PART II - THE DOCTRINE OF THE SPHERES

Part Two of this book will be somewhat different in character from the first part, as it will deal more specifically with certain Theosophical teachings about the Solar System and of Man in his relationship thereto.  Man's own consciousness must be studied quite exhaustively in order to understand that he is the “microcosm” as related to the “macrocosm.”

At times the scientific approach will be found useful, but due attention will be paid to the philosophical and the mystical approaches, which in the final analysis are the more important because they reach into the very heart of the teachings.  The intent of this study is to present as clear a picture as possible from the theosophical viewpoint, and from the scientific wherever it will be found to contribute points of value, and then to show how all of this can be expressed in terms of Mathematical Symbolism.
