Thus, for instance, you can readily understand that what began for man upon Saturn began in some way for other beings upon the Sun. As on Saturn the first rudiments of the physical body began, so on the Sun other beings followed, just as in schools different primary pupils are always following on. These beings have only advanced to the point of being physically incorporated in our contemporary animals. On the Moon followed beings who are present in our contemporary plants, and our present minerals have only been added on the Earth. These are our youngest companions in evolution whose pains and joys I described to you in a previous lecture. Thus in the original mist there were not only advanced beings but those too who had not yet reached the human stage.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"Spiritual Beings and Planetary Formation in Cosmic Evolution","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

So wie auf dem Saturn die erste Anlage zu dem physischen Leib begann, so kamen auf der Sonne andere Wesenheiten nach, wie in der Schule ja auch immer wieder ABC-Schützen nachkommen. Die haben es heute nur so weit gebracht, daß sie jetzt, physisch verkörpert, in unseren heutigen Tieren sind. Auf dem Mond kamen diejenigen Wesenheiten hinzu, die in den heutigen Pflanzen vorhanden sind, und unsere heutigen Mineralien sind überhaupt erst auf der Erde hinzugekommen. Das sind also die jüngsten Genossen unserer Entwickelung, deren Schmerzen und Freuden ich Ihnen in einem vorhergehenden Vortrag geschildert habe.
