# 121. On the Ego in the Cosmic World Order

During waking hours, an archangelic entity appears as the “I” and an angelic entity as the astral body; during sleep, a dynamis entity appears as the etheric body and a kyriotetes entity as the physical body.

About the connections during waking hours: serafine thrones; during sleep, cherubine. —

Now the archangelic being strives to shape the “I” in such a way that it integrates moral impulses into the mechanical-dynamic bodily structure: The “I” itself is on the Saturn level: when awake it is transferred to the sun level; but when asleep it is on the Venus level: the astral body is on the sun level; when awake it is transferred to the moon level; when asleep to the Jupiter level.

The physical body is on the earth level; but it is such that the growing moon-like and the killing sun-like strive for balance: moon-like in the lower man; sun-like in the upper.

How does the formation of destiny come about? Through the fact that, after awakening, what is moral judgment is introduced into the lower man — this then goes into “walking” with the next life on earth.

Spiritualization in general is incorporated into speech – this determines whether a sleeping person can find their way into the spiritual world.

Speech is effective in the second period of life.

Moral World Order: Angels, Archangels, Primordial Forces

Cosmic-moral world order: Exusiai, Dynameis, Kyriotetes

Human-cosmic-moral world order: Thrones, Cherubim, Serafim

The “I” is completely withdrawn from the earthly; for it is completely immersed in a spiritual world order:

I ← Archangel ← Exusai ← Cherubim

Astral body ← Angelic elemental forces ← Dynameis ← Seraphim Thrones.
