INTRAMERCURIAL PLANETS

 

IN ASTRONOMY

The French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier, based on the gravitational perturbations observed on the planet Uranus, deduced in 1846 that there must be a planet even further away that would cause these perturbations.

And his calculations allowed the astronomer Johann Galle to discover Neptune shortly afterwards, sharing honors with John Couch Adams, who reached similar conclusions independently.

Encouraged by this success, Le Verrier deduced that there must also be a planet between Mercury and the Sun that would explain the gravitational perturbations observed on Mercury.

Scientists called this planet Vulcan, but in this case, no matter how much astronomers searched, they did not find any planet, and later the Theory of General Relativity proposed by Albert Einstein explained the anomalous orbit of Mercury, and consequently the planet Vulcan was discarded.

IN THEOSOPHY

In 1882, when the journalist Alfred Sinnett asked Master Kuthumi.

« Could other planets, besides those already known to astronomers, be discovered using physical instruments if they were properly directed? » 

(ML 23A, p.146)

Kuthumi replied:

« We know that such exist and where they exist; and that there are innumerable planets "burnt out" they [the astronomers] say, — in obscuration we [the trans-Himalayan masters] say; — planets in formation and not yet luminous, etc.

But then "we know" is of little use to science, when the Spiritualists will not admit our knowledge.

Edison's tasimeter adjusted to its utmost degree of sensitiveness and attached to a large telescope may be of great use when perfected. When so attached the "tasimeter" will afford the possibility not only to measure the heat of the remotest of visible stars, but to detect by their invisible radiations stars that are unseen and otherwise undetectable, hence planets also.

The discoverer, an F.T.S. [Member of the Theosophical Society] , a good deal protected by M⸫[Master Morya] thinks that if, at any point in a blank space of heavens — a space that appears blank even through a telescope of the highest power — the tasimeter indicates an accession of temperature and does so invariably, this will be a regular proof that the instrument is in range with a stellar body either non-luminous or so distant as to be beyond the reach of telescopic vision. His tasimeter, he says, "is affected by a wider range of etheric undulations than the eye can take cognizance of."

Science will hear sounds from certain planets before she sees them. This is a prophecy. »

(ML 23B, p.169-170)

And in this same letter, when Mr. Sinnett asked Kuthumi:

« What other planets, besides Mercury, known to science belong to our system of worlds? » 

(CML 3A, p.148)

Kuthumi replied:

« Mars and four other planets about which astronomy still knows nothing. » 

(ML 23B, p.176)

And Blavatsky pointed out that this planet between Mercury and the Sun is one of the planets called in esotericism 'the seven sacred planets' and that it has been represented by the Sun:

" The Sun is a substitute for a sacred planet located between Mercury and our star. »

(CW X, p.340)

OBSERVATIONS

In his first answer, Master Kuthumi reveals that there are one or more planets orbiting between Mercury and the Sun, and in his second answer, Master Kuthumi points out that there are four other planets in our system of worlds about which astronomy still knows nothing.

I'm not entirely sure what he meant by "our system of worlds." I don't think he's referring to our solar system because he mentioned the planet Mars but not the outer planets of the solar system, so I'm more inclined to think that Master Kuthumi is referring to the planets that are close to the Sun, that is, what astronomers call the "inner planets of the solar system," and whose known planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.

But if my inquiry is correct, there would be four more currently unknown planets, and one or more of them would be orbiting between Mercury and the Sun.

I have researched theosophical masters extensively and have concluded that they do possess very advanced knowledge, and that they possibly already have their third eye highly activated, and also receive teachings from superior beings, and therefore what Master Kuthumi asserted is very likely true.

But then the question arises as to why, more than 150 years later, with our advanced technology, we still haven't been able to discover these planets.

Master Kuthumi prophesied that the development of infrared astronomy and radio astronomy would allow the discovery of many celestial bodies that cannot be detected with normal telescopes, and he was right.

And keep in mind that Master Kuthumi prophesied this more than seventy years before those two branches of astronomy were established!

Radio astronomy formally emerged in 1932 thanks to Karl Jansky's discovery of radio waves coming from the center of the Milky Way, although research was fully developed after World War II.

And infrared astronomy finally became established as a search method in the 1950s and 1960s, thanks to the improvement of detectors such as lead sulfide (PbS) cells and the definition of infrared photometric systems.

But these methods are useless for detecting possible intramercurial planets due to the large amount of heat and electromagnetic radiation emitted by the Sun.

And if those planets are very small (which is most likely) it would be very difficult to detect them with other types of telescopes because they would be hidden by the intense brightness of the Sun.

As for the possibility of detecting them through the gravitational anomalies they would cause, if they are very small planets, they could not be perceived even with that.

And they may even be "planets in formation and not yet luminous" as Master Kuthumi said, which I interpret as already existing subtly but their physical body has not yet been created.

Or some of those still unknown planets could be planets that continue to exist on a subtle level but whose physical body has already been destroyed; I'm thinking, for example, of the Asteroid Belt, which would be the remnant of one of those planets, or it could also be a planet that has recently been swallowed by the Sun.

We need more information to investigate further, but I think there must be something between Mercury and the Sun.
