Not Archangels of the solar system, but those who have overcome Worlds; who have passed through system after system, conquering the external strife, and sin of all planets; who, in the presence of that Infinite Light and Splendor, perceive the twelvefold radiance not known even to the Archangels.

Around a more distant sun whose direction is hinted at in the shaft of the pyramid of Gbizeh, toward Alcyone in the Pleiades, are twelve systems of planets including your own, each having a sun. From out that central orb beings of wonderful light appear. These are the inter-solar Archangels: the Demigods, appointed by Infinite Love to aid in the formation of worlds. These are they who plan places for systems of suns, who are blessed with creative power; possessed by the Deity in the infinite degree, it is possessed by them in a finite degree. These are they who have worn the garment of mortality in all those planets and systems, who understand the meaning of all forms of expression, and have vanquished all worlds You thus perceive that when the Soul has given expression to all its possibilities in all these twelve worlds and systems, then the "Sons of God" appear. When Christ said, "Behold, I have overcome the world," he did not mean simply the earth, but all worldly conditions. The "Sons of God " are twelve in number, they are the culminated light from eleven other systems where they have passed through all the (stages of planetary existence corresponding to your solar system. The term " Children of the Sun " is what was meant in the original, but that you may understand it better we use the words "Sons of God."

Once in a fixed period of years, when this series of systems moves in a certain portion of the heavens, there is a Messianic Dispensation. There is certain planetary growth at times of perihelion, when the systems are nearer the central sun, corresponding to certain periods in your particular solar system. So when the great Sun of Truth shines upon any world from this Messianic center, regulated by the great law of growth of expression on each planet, there is a period, or cycle, called a Messianic period. There are the shorter Messianic periods, and lesser Messiahs, called Buddhas, in the East. These appear on earth once in twenty-two thousand five hundred years, marking only one portion of the large astronomical cycle; but when this entire system of planets and your sun, and when all the twelve encircling suns and their systems have made a revolution around the Central Sun, then a greater Messiah appears; there is fuller growth and larger expression for the harvest of Souls. Each Messianic period gathers a harvest of Souls; i. e., those who are ready to become Angels, Angels who become Archangels. Twelve Archangels of the inter-solar heavens accompany the Messiahs. These are they who breathe to the Archangels of any solar system, the approach of the Messiahs. The Archangels of the earth receive from the " highest heavens," meaning the inter-solar heavens, the state of the Sun, the messages of approaching dispensations.

It was the Archangel Michael who stood by the gateway of Paradise with the flaming sword, that those who passed out of the Eden of Adam might not return by that way, but by the only way possible, the way of Christ. Michael was the Archangel of the Mosaic dispensation, and he, realizing that man passes thus from the state of innocence, the Eden of Love, also knows the way he shall regain it: by the way of victory over sin, by the way of conquest over error, by the way of perceiving that even though he seek in the sun or in the shadow he shall not find the light there, but only from within. This is the return to the Father's Kingdom; it is not, as said before, by the gateway of Eden, which you remember was the gateway of innocence over which Michael with "flaming sword " held guard, preventing man from returning that way; (the "naming sword" is conscience, the perception of shortcomings in material life) but by the attainment of victory over temptation when in the mortal life; so do you attain parity. The difference between purity and innocence is, that innocence is without knowledge of good; parity is perfect knowledge. Therefore in this kingdom, which is the return to the Father's Dwelling, there is the Christ state.

The Archangel Gabriel knew that Christ was to come, was appointed from the preceding dispensation to usher in the new. It was Gabriel who closed the Christian Dispensation and passed on to a higher state of Archangels. When Gabriel had finished the Christian Dispensation, another degree was added to his experience as an Archangel, for he had seen the beginning and the ending of a dispensation.

There are only twelve inter-solar Archangels who can ever be known to earth; they usher in and close the dispensations. The Archangels between your earth and other planets of your solar system are one hundred and forty-four. As each inter-solar Archangel is accompanied by twelve who are within the system that you belong to, these each have their appointed powers.

Around the son of your system twelve planets move. (When that entire system is known.) Twelve solar systems move around the more distant sun; and twelve times twelve around the still more distant sun. This is the planetary scheme, and it corresponds to the Messianic plan. The Song of God have overcome the worlds. When a Messiah approaches the earth He is accompanied by twelve Archangels of the inter-solar heavens, when He approaches a planet His Archangels are accompanied by one hundred and forty-four who typify the highest state within that solar system, and into the charge of each of these planetary Archangels one hundred and forty-four Souls are given. These Messiahs constitute the redeeming power, the highest teaching the planet can receive, and each must be a Messiah in all the planets of a system; bo there are successions of dispensations. These are the "twelve manner of fruits" grown upon that "Tree of Life" whose leaves are for the "healing of the nations." That "Tree of Life" lost in the Eden of Adam is restored in the Heaven of Christ.
