I-8 Days of the week; their “planetary” relationships

Correspondence and Documents (CD), Enclosure with 41; (AGSS), Lect. 9 (p. 86); HI-2, Lect. 8; 12 Brit 555, “week”

The whole progress of the human being’s evolution through the seven Conditions of Consciousness was laid down by the ancient initiates in the names of the days of the week, as follows:

Old Saturn

Saturn’s Day Saturday
Old Sun Sun’s Day Sunday
Old Moon Moon’s Day Monday
Earth:    

Mars

Mars’ Day Tuesday

Mercury

Mercury’s Day Wednesday
Jupiter Jupiter’s Day Thursday
Venus Venus’ Day Friday
Vulcan (not formed because it is a repeat, as the octave is the repeat of the tonic)

The above-cited references explain with consistency the transition to our Anglo-Saxon words for these evolutionary periods and their namesake gods. Mars represents the first half of Earth evolution, up until the time of Christ, and Mercury the last half. Mercury is, as shall be seen, the “morning star” referred to in Rev 2,28, representing the last half of Earth evolution which commenced with the incarnation of Christ.
