    In the reintegration Yoga the Sun is the 'inner Sun of truth perception' — the fixed center that all other planetary faculties must be made to 'orbit', and the endpoint to which one 'returns... with the full manifestation of its powers, the integration of all its rays' (book pp.224–226). The Sun is the concrete focal presence of the whole reintegration doctrine, hence embodies.

Statement
Spiritual reintegration proceeds by reorienting each planetary faculty to 'orbit the inner Sun of truth perception', harmonized in a definite sequence (though Frawley says it is more an unfoldment of related qualities, 'like the tracing of a lotus from the central point', than a strict temporal order): FIRST the Moon (receptivity — make the mind receptive to the inner Sun, not the outer world); then Mars (direct energy/will to spiritual practice and right action without seeking results); then Mercury (raise the rational process to inner truth over outer information); then Jupiter (will to truth/ growth — expand in consciousness, grow inwardly); then Venus (devotion — direct love to the cosmic wonder, make life a form of worship); then Saturn (seal the process with firm form/structure in daily activity); then Rahu (confront the hidden subconscious — fears, desires, addictions); finally Ketu (negate the self into the Divine, embrace ego-death). The endpoint is to 'return to the Sun of truth' with all its rays integrated.

Conditions
the sequence can be practiced even without using astrology or knowing one's chart — 'a universal symbolism for the development of consciousness'; remedial measures (mantra, gems, colors, herbs) are 'helpful tools' to facilitate it
Exceptions
Frawley: it 'will not follow the same line of development in each individual'; it is an unfoldment of related qualities, not a fixed line
