Course XXXVIII - Teaching 10: Auric Space of the Planetary System

An attentive and inquisitive eye might see, by looking at the space, how sunlight is not white, but periodically changes color.
The planetary system, like all systems, has its aura; so adorns its sky with changing Colors, according to the prevailing movement.
In the Universe there is a substance, produced by vibration, which could be called “Great Element”. This Element manifests in seven continuous movements, corresponding to the seven solar rays and called seven Great Elements. Every one of these movements has its particular color and these colors constitute the Aura of the Universe as a whole.
The auric colors of the Universe are simultaneously reflected on all planetary systems of the Universe, by forming the planetary aura of the same.
When the first Great Element prevails, it controls positively the Earth and brings about cohesive power. When the second Great Element prevails, it controls negatively humidity and water, and its power is contraction.
