The first four major asteroids located between the planets Mars and Jupiter were sighted in the early 1800’s.
One theory has it that there was at one time a planet located at this position and, for whatever reason, it exploded into these large particles of matter. We could reflect on what this means relating to the etheric or devic substance that is still transmitted by these asteroids. Certainly, the Tibetan inspires us to contemplate on the significance of these planetary radiations.
