one on the right is pointing upward, showing that Mercury and Venus both are above Mars and the Earth in
State of Progression. You will notice there is nothing beneath the Earth. Therefore, this planet is in the lowest
State of Progression in this section of the Universe, and especially in this Solar System.
Now we go to the dark oval on top of the vertical, open oval. The material meaning here is that the oval stands
for the planet Saturn. This dark oval appears to be a sort of balance on top of the entire toe symbol. Saturn
knows Mind of Total Universe. Here is found the greatest mechanical advancement in our Solar System.
Saturn is the Balancer of the System pointing out wrongs from rights. It enforces the law of compensation:
"As ye sow, so shall ye reap." This is in line with Divine Will. We can see Saturn here with its rings in the
oval form. The oval is an ancient symbol of the mouth. Saturn, as dispenser of Justice throughout this System
is the "mouth" that conveys the Knowledge of Justice. This oval is not contained within the larger one because
the Knowledge Saturn conveys to her brothers in this System is not from this System alone, but is from the
Creator--and therefore it is not limited. A line extends from Saturn, and through Saturn, and enters the joining
part of oval and continues down to the top arm of the swastika where it meets in another circle or dot. This dot
represents the planet Jupiter.
Jupiter is the Creator's Interpreter of Law. Knowledge and Wisdom flowing from His throne. This planet
gives to those who desire it: "Ask and ye shall receive; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened
unto you." Jupiter is in a progressed state of mental and spiritual advancement over the four planets around the
swastika in the oval. The spiritual meaning here is that the dark oval represents the "All-Seeing Eye". For we
see, extending to the right, another arrow-like head representing active forces emanating from the "All-Seeing
Eye". The oval is also an ancient symbol for the eye. The fact that Saturn is shown above Jupiter means that
Saturn is the seat of the Universal Tribunal, but these two planets are closely associated in state of progression
as shown by the direct line from one to the other.
Now we come to the skeleton-like hand on the right side of the vertical oval. Five fingers and a thumb are
shown of a left hand, palm away. Five is the numeral symbol of the Full Godhead--the Four Great Primary
Forces, plus the Creator. It also stands for the Four Senses and the Cardinal Sense of Feeling. This hand is
away from the oval, and not contained within it. Therefore, it is not limited by the oval which encloses and
designates only a very small portion of this section of the Universe. The active-force arrow-head points
directly to this hand. Also notice that the arrow-like heads on the horizontal arm of the swastika keep the
movement going clockwise just as the bent angles of the vertical arm do. The hand is the most ancient symbol
of the First Person in the Godhead. It represents the creative power of God. In Proverbs 1:24, we read:
"Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded." And in
Ecclesiastes 9:1, we see: "For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and
the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before
them . . ." The Greek Christians represent the souls of the just by showing little naked human beings, praying
with joined hands in the great hand of God. This hand issues from the clouds, whence it appears to have
descended to Earth to take the souls of the righteous, and return with them to heaven and paradise. The hand
also symbolizes ability, power, and thence confidence. To lay the hand upon anyone is to inspire him with
life. Hands mean power, arms mean still greater power, and shoulders mean all power. Communication is
produced by the touch of the hand, inasmuch as the life of the mind, and thence of the body, exerts itself in the
arms, and by them in the hands. To hold up the hands means faith looking toward the Creator. When hands
and feet are mentioned together, the former symbolizes the interiors of man; and the latter his exteriors; or
both, whatever is spiritual and natural in man. Hands show the faculty of receiving. The feet are in contact
with the dust of the world; they are less responsive to the guidance of the will and thought; they are not so
directly concerned in doing for others, but serve rather in bringing us where we can be of use, and holding us
firmly while the hands do the work. When contrasted with the hands the feet represent rather the effort to
determine the course of life toward good or evil, while the hands represent the more particular thought in
regard to the service to be done to others. The hands are obedient to inner desires and thoughts. So, we can see
why space people have used the symbol of a foot to convey their message to us; why they have used the hand
symbol inside of the fish symbol; and why they have used the symbol of the Great Fish, itself.
