Planetary sphere

Seven planetary spheres (Hebrew: גַּלְגַּלים Galgalim, singular גַּלְגַּל Galgal "wheel"), which correspond to the classical seven planets and together form the Hebdomas (Greek: εβδομάς "sevenness"), surround the Earth in concentric circles from a geocentric point of view and constitute our present solar system. The actual reality of the planetary spheres is not on the outer physical plan, but on the astral plan. Here, the planetary spheres, which partially interpenetrate each other, delimit the Dominions of the Hierarchies of the higher spiritual hierarchies, which are connected with the earth evolution and human evolution.
