Course XXXIX - Teaching 10: Mars

When in a starry night we observe the reddish light of the planet Mars, at once we evoke the memory of the color of the light in times of the Great Planetary Fight. But man, who has spoken a lot about Mars and about the chance of knowing it more closely, never will be able to unravel its mystery, because now Mars undergoes a state of planetary dream or little pralaya. Therefore, we can say very little about this planet, his present state and his existence, for an impenetrable veil surrounds the eternal sleepers.
The obscure color had been substituted for the reddish light. Uranus and Saturn, now entirely separated from the early mass, were ending their round.
The Nebula Mother had given life to two new bodies: Jupiter and Mars.
Like two fiery flare-ups, they are shining on space; but a planet, that is more ethereal than physical, is between the two and threatens the incipient life of the two young spheres. This planet launches powerful auric emanations that collide with the two newly born like immense waterspouts.
In this Great Fight, Jupiter has to absorb the auric forces of the system, and Mars becomes his best assistant in the powerful planetary war that lasts billions of years; but at the end, by the continuous pressure of the two planets, the other planet has been entirely disintegrated.
Later, the physical body of the Earth takes form from dispersed particles of this planet and from remainders that are not converted into planetoids or meteorites.
