To reach a Yoga or Union with the Divine, the Initate must open ALL Seven GATES, ONE at a time. These Seven Gates, Planetary in the Macrocosm and in the Chakras in the Microcom, re the Entrances (IN+TRANCE!) and Exit Points to the Flow of Energy in the Universe.
Heracleides, Plato and others claimed that there are "Astral or Earthly Souls with airy and vaporous bodies", that inhabit the Milky Way before descending "into generation", sublunary existence, traveling through the influence of the Seven Gates of the Planetary Genii (Spirits).
The Seven Planetary Spirits are the Seven Greek Kosmokraters, the Seven Old Gods of Babylon and Sumeria.
Helena P. Blavatsky says the Seven Kosmokraters are the Great Chaldean Gods, they are the Seven Sabian Gods, the Seven Hindoo Manus and Seven Immortal Rishi (Saptarishi).

Of the Seveb Cherubim, only Iblis (Shaitan) refused. In Yazidism, the seven archangels are entrusted with the Mechanics of Creation: Jabra'il, Mika'il, Rafa'il, Dadra'il, Azrail and Shamkil & Azazil.
The Seven Old Gods or Archangels are none other than the Biblical Seven Elohim.

Manly P. Hall explains, "The seven primitive and primary spirits have become incarnated in the composite structure of man and that the Elohim are actually within his own nature, where from their seven thrones they are molding him into a septenary creature."
"One of these Elohim, which corresponds to a color, a musical note, a planetary vibration, and a mystical dimension, is the key consciousness of every kingdom in Nature. The Elohim also rake turns in controlling the life of the human being."
The Seven Kosmokraters rule the Twelve Zodiac Houses. These Planetary Spirits or ARCHONS affected our thoughts, dreams and health. Some of these Planetary Genii (or Spirits) are beneficial, other malignant, depending upon their alignment they affect each Zodiac House.
The Seven Branched Candlestick of the Ancient Israelites perfectly illustrates the Cosmology of the Seven Planetary Spirits. The Sun, KING is represented IN the CENTER, Mars and Venus, Mercury and Earth, Saturn and Jupiter are represented in the polarity of candles on each side.
In the Microcosm, the Heart Chakra would be in the Center, and the other six chakras representing the Polarity (Yin/ Yang) of Each Person on Each Side of the Menorah, the Crown Chakra on one side and the Root Chakra on the other side.
The Gnostics refered to the Seven Planetary Genii as the Planetary Archons, the Govenors to the Ancient Egyptians.
The Masonic Seven Rung Ladder, often referred to as the Ladder of Kadosh OR JACOB'S LADDER, originated from the Initiation Ceremonies in the Rites of Mithras.
The Masonic Seven Rung Ladder, often referred to as the Ladder of Kadosh OR JACOB'S LADDER, originated from the Initiation Ceremonies in the Rites of Mithras.
In the Mithriac Mysteries, the Seven RUNGS represented the Chain of Being symbolizing the CLIMB of the Initate up the LADDER through the Seven Planetary Gates.
Saturn, the Dweller of the Threshold, is identified with Alchemical Element of LEAD, the furtherest Element from Philospohical GOLD, which is identifued with the SUN. Saturn is the ALEPH. The Sun is is the Tav, together (Saturn-Sun) are the Aleph Tav, the Alepha AND Omega.
It is SATURN that the Initiate, seeking to return to the Source in the Pleroma (Spirirual Plane), must overcome by “giving up” different aspects of himself to each Astral Gatekeeper, explained very well in the Hermetica. At each GATE, the Man would shed a part of his Animal Soul.
Albert Pike explained the Mithraic Ladder of Ascension as, "The symbolical image of this passage among the stars was a LADDER, reaching from EARTH to HEAVEN, divided into SEVEN STEPS (stages), to each was a GATE & at the summit an EIGHTH, the Fixed Stars".
The FIRST GATE was that of SATURN, and of LEAD, by the heavy nature whereof his dull slow progress was symbolized. The SECOND, of TIN, was that of VENUS, symbolizing her soft splendor & easy flexibility. The THIRD, of brass, that of JUPITER, emblem of his solidity & dry nature".
The FOURTH, of IRON, was that of MERCURY, expressing his indefatigable activity and sagacity. The FIFTH, of COPPER, was that of MARS, expressive of his inequalities and variable nature. The SIXTH, of SILVER, was that of the MOON: and the SEVENTH, of GOLD, that of the SUN.
Pike explains, "This order is not the real order, of these Planet’s but a mysterious one, like that of the days of the Week consecrated to them, commencing with Saturday and retrograding to Sunday. It was dictated, Celsus says, by certain harmonic relations, those of the fourth".
It is no accident their is Seven Alchemical Operations, that make up the major processes that make up the alchemical transformation, and uses their Latin terms to differentiate the psychological processes from the chemical procedures.
In another text Pike confirms, "To return to its Source in the Infinite, the human soul, the ancients held, had to ascend, as it had descended, through the seven spheres (or GATES). The Ladder by which it reascends, has, seven degrees or steps in the Mysteries of Mithras"
Pike concludes, "The ladder, with its seven rounds, was a symbol referring to this ascent through the spheres of the seven planets. Jacob saw the Spirits of God ascending and descending on it; and above it the Deity Himself."
Manly P. Hall writes, "In the Ancient System of Initiation, the Initiate must pass through a SECOND BIRTH, and those who attained this exalted state were known thereafter as "The Twice Born". Only one who has been born again can understand the mysteries of heaven."
Hall writes, "This new birth, however, is not attained by merely joining a sect. It must be personally earned through a complete regeneration of character and conduct."
Man either rules the STARS or the STARS rule HIM. To Return to Source, Man must traverse the SEVEN GATES.
