"In the development, then, that man may be one with Father, (it is) necessary that the soul pass - with its companion, the will - through all the various stages of development, until the will is lost in Him, and he becomes one with the Father.
"The illustration of this we find in the man called Jesus. This man, as man, makes the will the will of the Father; then becoming one with the Father, and the model for man...
"When the soul reached that development in which it reached earth's plane, it became the model in the flesh, as it had reached through developments in those spheres, or planets, known in the earth's plane, obtaining then the One in All.
As in Mercury pertaining of Mind.
In Mars of Madness.
In Earth as of Flesh.
In Venus as Love.
In Jupiter as Strength.
In Saturn as the beginning of earthly woes, that to which all insufficient matter is cast for the beginning.
In that of Uranus as of the Psychic.
In that of Neptune as of Mystic.
In Septimus (Pluto) as of Consciousness.
In Arcturus as of the developing." [Cayce (900-10)]
"And in its descent, not only does it [the soull assume the aforesaid new sheath of matter from these luminous bodies, but it receives there the different faculties it must exercise throughout its sojourn in the body. From Saturn it acquires reason and understanding, or what is called the logical and contemplative faculty; from Jupiter it receives the power to act, or executive power; Mars gives it the valour required for enterprise, and a burning zeal; from the Sun it receives the senses and the power of invention, that make it feel and imagine; Venus moves it with desires; from the sphere of Mercury it takes the power to express and enunciate what it thinks and feels; finally, from the sphere of the Moon, it acquires the strength needed to propagate by the generation and increase of bodies. This lunar sphere, which is last and lowest with respect to divine bodies, is first and highest with respect to earthly bodies. This lunar body, as it were the sediment of celestial matter, at the same time is found to be the purest substance of animal matter." (Ch.XII) [Macrobius, Commentary On The Dream Of Scipio]
