THE OUTER PLANETS IT is commonly observed that many creatures of the animal kingdom possess certain faculties not given to man. The homing instinct of birds and certain animals is well known. The intelligence of bees and ants while known, is unaccounted for by those not having the clue.

Civilized man when less advanced than now possessed certain faculties peculiar to the evolution due to that Hierarchy, but his higher principles have since drawn him from the eighth life- wave and confined him to his proper sphere, the seven-fold evolution.

Occult Science teaches that the highest Rays of our Sun are well-nigh unseen and unfelt in a globe emanating from the (7) OrangeHierarchy. In Neptune, the next planet in the long descent from Jupiter, the eighth Solar Ray becomes visible; therefore to that planet the Sun is not diminished in any of his properties. No Ray of the Sun is to any extent seen or felt until it contacts its polar opposite; thus the Ray from the (7) Orange Hierarchy is visible to man and every other entity of our physical evolution because the eye of the physical ...
