Daniel,
Thanks for your post and extracts. Well notwithstanding both versions , 
one by Leadbeater and the original by Madame Blavatsky. How are the differences 
between them to be reconciled? It seems apparent that the Earth, Mars and 
Mercury are, to our perception all in the globe D of our collective level of 
consciousness. We also have two Mars Rovers on mars at this time rendering regulat 
Science Information to us, and a Mercury Mission is initiated by NASA 
currently to do much the same as other exploratory Missions in our Solar System..

I read that from the dawn of human history there have been only 8 Bodies 
known in our solar System until the 1600 hindreds AD viz:

Earth
Sun
Moon
Mercury 
(although anciently cited the first modern observation of 
Mercury didn't happen until the 1700's when tranist across the Sun told 
Astronomers there was a planet there) Mercury as Hermes is featured on Scythian Coins 
in B.C. times

Venus
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn

Hence our Sun plus Seven Planets an Ogdaud in total.

However since the 1600's several more Planets have been found and named in 
our Solar System proper viz:

Uranus 1781 disc. by Herschel
Neptune 1846 disc. by Le Verrier Adams
Pluto 1937 disc. by Percival Lowel ( Blavatsky died before Pluto was 
discovered)

So now we have Sun plus 10 planets for 11 total

Then somewhere I remember Blavatsky diagramed two other esoteric Bodies, 
Persephone and Phoebus I seem to remember. Are we to treat Mars and Mercury as 
really being Persephone and Phoebus alluded to by Blavatsky, as being one and 
the same? However if we also take the original ancient bodies excluding the 
Sun and Moon we have left only Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, five in 
total, but if as Blavatsky says Mercury and Mars are seperate Chains then we 
have only Venus, Jupiter and Saturn left, total of three, if we add back the 
Sun and Moon we have total of five and if we add the three newly discovered 
modern Bodies, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto we have total of eight again another 
Ogduad. And all are seen as present on the level of our Globe D consciousness.

Besides this there is Niberu and Nemesis current in todays speculations.

Maybe the confusion might be that Blavatsky was not actually meaning the 
Mars and Mercury Bodies we see in our solar System at all.

I am sure even if this is irrevenant it is better than recent posts we 
have all suffered to endure,lol.

Respectfully,
John
