5. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Jupiter. Knows only mercy, charity, beneficence. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." The Jupiterian ray of mercy and compassion attracts to itself benefits of like nature.

Mars. The principal work of Mars is transmutation. The red of the lower nature becomes the pure gold of the higher. The only key to heaven is purity, chastity. Only a life of purity makes it possible for the spiritual centers to flower upon the cross of the body.

9. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Neptune. Planet of divinity. The higher we aspire the more likely we are to be misunderstood by others.
10. Rejoice and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
The synthesis of the highest qualities of all planets. The attainment of man at the end of the present earth cycle. This path leads to the Great Lord of compassion. It is here we shall meet Him face to face.
