making of the universe: the planetary chain

“In an occult commentary this coming forth of the seven Logoi from the one, and of the seven successive chains of seven globes each, is described:

 
“From one light seven lights; from each of the seven, seven times seven.” (H. P. Blavatsky)

 
Taking up the incarnations of the chain, the man (mind of the planetary Logos, but the first model which was made) vantaras , we learn that these also are subdivisible into seven stages;

 
a wave of life from the planetary Logos is sent round the chain, and seven of these great life-waves, each one technically spoken of as “a round”, complete a single manvantara.

 
Each globe has thus seven periods of activity during a manvantara, each in turn becoming the field of evolving life.”
