Every substance and every being in the cosmos always repeats earlier conditions at the beginning of any new stage of evolution. Thus our Earth passed quickly through the Saturn, Sun and Moon states. When it was passing through the Moon evolution, it consisted of water, mixed with vapour—not like our present water, but a watery, that is to say, a fluidic condition of substance. The fluid state was its densest condition. This watery sphere which swam about in cosmic space was not like the water of the present, but water mixed with vapour, in other words, something gaseous and something fluidic permeating each other, and within this we find the human being. He could exist in this watery sphere, because no solid substance had yet been precipitated. Of the present human being, only his ego and his astral body were present. This ego and astral body did not yet feel themselves as separate entities, but as though embedded within the body of divine spiritual beings. They did not yet feel themselves severed from a being whose body is the water-vapour earth. Then within these ego-endowed astral bodies, enclosures were formed, very tenuous, fine human germs. This is shown in the first diagram.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Stets wiederholt jeder Körper und ein jedes Wesen im Kosmos auf einer neuen Entwickelungsstufe die früheren Zustände, so daß unsere Erde rasch durchläuft den Saturnzustand, den Sonnenzustand und den Mondenzustand. Als sie den Mondenzustand durchläuft, besteht sie aus Wasser mit Wasserdampf gemischt, nicht heutiges Wasser, aber wasserförmige, das heißt flüssige Substantialität; zum flüssigen Zustand bringt sie es als zum dichtesten. Diese wässerige Kugel, die im Weltenraume schwebte, ist nicht Wasser wie heute, aber Wasser mit Wasserdampf gemischt, also Gasiges und Flüssiges durcheinander, und da ist der Mensch schon darinnen. Weil noch keine festen Substanzen sich abgesetzt haben, kann der Mensch in dieser wässerigen Kugel darinnen sein. Vom heutigen Menschen ist darin sein Ich und sein astralischer Leib. Aber dieses Ich und dieser astralische Leib fühlen sich noch nicht als abgesonderte Wesenheit, sondern wie eingebettet im Schoß göttlich-geistiger Wesenheiten; sie fühlen sich noch nicht herausgelöst aus einer Wesenheit, deren Leib die wässerige, dampfförmige Erde ist. Nun bilden sich in diesen astralischen Leibern, die mit dem Ich ausgestattet sind, Einschlüsse, ganz dünne, feine Menschenanlagen.
