THE SACRED PLANETS ACCORDING TO ALICE BAILEY

Theosophy explains that at an esoteric level, not all planets are equal, since there are planets that are more important than others, and these planets that have a particular relevance in the energetic structure of the solar system are called in the occultism:

“The Sacred Planets”

And as Alice Bailey pretended to be a great esotericist, she gave the following classification of the planets of our solar system:

Sacred planets

Vulcan

Mercury

Venus

Jupiter

Saturn

Neptune

Uranus

Non-sacred planets

Earth

Mars

Pluto

Moon

Sun

(This is found in her book “Esoteric Psychology”, volume I, part two, chapter III, section 2 entitled: “The Ray of Planet Earth”, p.335, the first edition was printed in 1936)

BUT THE DETAIL IS THAT THIS CLASSIFICATION IS ERRONEOUS!!!

Because the Masters and Blavatsky in the book “The Secret Doctrine” they pointed out that:

« The sacred planets are: Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, the Sun and the Moon. »

(Volume I, p.575, 1888)

We see that the sacred planets correspond to the planets used by ancient astrology. Which has much logic, since astrology (and despite all the alterations that have been made) is a very deep hermetic science and that is why the ancient astrologers knew the importance of these planets.

And contrary to what modern skeptics claim, the ancient sages knew that the sun and the moon were NOT planets. However, they used them in their classification for hidden reasons, as Blavatsky points out:

« This classification is accepted only for astrological purposes. While the true classification (which is kept in secret) differs from this, since the Sun, being the central star (and not a planet) has an even deeper and more mysterious relationship with our Earth chain than is generally known.

Neither the Earth, nor its satellite, the Moon, nor even the stars, for another reason, were more than substitutes used for esoteric purposes. »

(Secret Doctrine I, p.575)

The Sun and the Moon were used to represent two sacred planets that are still unknown today.

Why did Alice Bailey give that wrong classification?

Because she based on Leadbeater's erroneous teachings. And if you see the following table, you will realize that they are the same planets that Alice Bailey designated as sacred planets, only the planet Earth changed for Mercury.

TABLE	ALICE BAILEY
Vulcan Venus Earth Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune	Vulcan Venus Mercury Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune

This table was elaborated by the researcher Arthur Powell and published in his book “The Solar System” in 1930 (six years before Alice Bailey published her book “Esoteric Psychology”). And this table was elaborated in based on what Leadbeater had written in his book “A Textbook of Theosophy” (1912).

But the detail is that this structure is completely false and was invented by Leadbeater for the reasons that I explain here. (Later I will put this article)

CONCLUSION

If Alice Bailey had been the messenger of the Masters as she pretended to be, then she would have mentioned the same sacred planets that appear in the Secret Doctrine, but we see that in reality she read the Arthur Powell’s book to elaborate her supposed esoteric classification, and to top it off, she did not even realize that what Leadbeater taught was false !!!
