Mars Revisited

The widespread idea that Mars is red due to rocks being rusted by the water that once flooded the red planet may not be correct. Recent laboratory studies show that red dust may be formed by ongoing grinding of surface rocks.

The planet Mars figures notably into the the Torah’s concept of creation being the previous world from where our earth was seeded with life; in the Torah Mars is called Tohu/Chaos because life accrued in a manner coinciding with Darwin’s theory Survival of the Fittest–everything wanted everything.

It was a world-wide feeding frenzy that led to the end of life on Mars. The Egyptians, the first civilization on the earth prayed to the planet Mars; the underground world they envisioned was the internal world of Mars–all of the six planets out from the earth support internal life as is detailed in the Zohar and Zohar Chodesh–Book of Secret.

The earth and Mars, the blue and red planets are direct opposites; on the earth decay is buried in the ground while on Mars waste is excreted to the surface–Mars is red because she is the world representing the fifth sefira of the Ten Sefirot, also known as the Tree of life, called Gevorah/Strength. The color red is the color of Gevorah.

The blue earth is the color of kindness, mixed with the red life from Mars which runs in our blood comprises compassion–green.
