Re: Theos-World Rounds and races

Hi Katinka,

Nice to hear from you again.

I’m afraid the matter of Rounds & Races is a little bit complex, and I can’t claim that I’ve understood it completely. I’ll try to simplify and tell you what I’ve understood.

Once the Absolute decided to play and It polarized itself into two parts – Matter and Consciousness. The whole game of the manifested universe is the Involution & Evolution of these two polarized sides. Matter & Consciousness first got Involved-got more & more dense, losing their identity, slowly reaching the most dense plane – the Physical, from where the process ofEvolution began, the return to their Origin overcoming ‘avidya’ or ignorance.

(This is really complex and several books have been written to explain the above three statements) 

Now lets go to the lowest rung of this process- our Solar System. The SolarSystem is governed by the Solar Logos, where a system of Schemes, Chains, Rounds & Globes is followed. In our Solar System 10 Schemes are operating, and in each Scheme there are 7 Chains, and in each Chain there are 7 rounds, and in each Round there are 7 Globes, on which the Solar Logos focuses the Evolutionary process to go on in a cyclical manner. In each successive Chain of a Scheme, the matter of the Globes becomes denser, till the middle of the Scheme is reached (signifying Involution), then a reverse process starts (signifying Evolution) till the Scheme is completed. 

Each Globe serves as a body of an advanced Being called the Spirit of the globe. Life focus shifts from globe to globe, after 7 Root Races have completed their tenure, as per the laws laid down by the Solar Logos. The matter of each globe is used for building the forms (of physical and subtler bodies) of the conscious entities like minerals, plants, animals, humans & devas. This matter is called Elemental Essence. This elemental essence is Involving, whereas the consciousness making use of this matter, from mineral onwards is Evolving.   

Now lets not get into too much of complexities, and trouble ourselves as tohow Monads & Group Souls are formed. Minerals, plants, animals and lower orders of deva kingdom have Group Soul, through which they evolve. After individualization evolution of a single unit begins. 

On an average it takes one period of a Chain for evolution of a mineral to become a plant and for a plant to become an animal and for an animal to become a human. In other words almost all the humans, that are present today, were animals in the previous Chain – the Lunar Chain, which had only one physical Planet – the Moon is the remnant of that planet.  

Katinka, hope this much is clear.

Regards,

Rajiv
