[A Textbook of Theosophy by C.W. Leadbeater]@TWC D-Link bookA Textbook of Theosophy CHAPTER II 4/12
This evolution is His Will; the method of it is His plan. Next below this Solar Deity, yet also in some mysterious manner part of Him, come His seven Ministers sometimes called the Planetary Spirits.
Using an analogy drawn from the physiology of our own body, Their relation to Him is like that of the ganglia or the nerve centres to the brain.
All evolution which comes forth from Him comes through one or other of Them. Under Them in turn come vast hosts or orders of spiritual beings, whom we call angels or devas.
We do not yet know all the functions which they fulfil in different parts of this wonderful scheme, but we find some of them intimately connected with the building of the system and the unfolding of life within it. Here in our world there is a great Official who represents the Solar Deity and is in absolute control of all the evolution that takes place upon this planet.
We may image Him as the true KING of this world and under Him are ministers in charge of different departments.
