For it also occurred that Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Mercury detached themselves. Why did this happen? We shall understand this if we realize that in the great universe there occurs something similar to an event in our trivial everyday life. It is not only in school that pupils sometimes fail to be promoted, but also in the cosmos there are beings who remain behind and cannot progress with the others. Let us be quite clear about this. There was one group of higher beings who could not continue with the earth's tempo. These abstracted the finest substances and formed therefrom the sun as their dwelling-place. These were the highest beings connected with our evolution, although they also had gone through an evolution of their own. Thus there were beings who were in the act of becoming sun-spirits, and others who had remained behind, standing lower than the sun-spirits but higher than man. These could not continue with the sun-spirits because they were not equally mature. They could not go out with the sun, for it would have scorched them. But on the other hand they were too noble for the earth. Therefore they abstracted certain substances, which were between sun and earth in fineness and corresponded to their nature, and built themselves dwelling-places between the sun and the earth. Thus Venus and Mercury were separated off. Here we have two groups of beings who are not as high as the sun-spirits, but are further along than man. They became the spirits of Venus and Mercury. These are the beings who caused the appearance of these two planets. Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were formed earlier for other reasons, and they also became dwelling-places for certain beings.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Fourth Lecture","site_heading":"Primeval Human Form and Cosmic Initiation Mysteries","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.

Es bleiben nicht bloß Schüler im Gymnasium sitzen, sondern auch im großen Kosmos gibt es Wesen, die zurückbleiben und nicht mitkommen können. Nun machen wir uns das einmal ganz klar. Eine Gruppe hoher Wesen waren es, die nicht das Tempo der Erde mitmachen konnten, die die feinsten Substanzen herausnahmen und daraus die Sonne gestalteten zu ihrem Wohnplatz. Das waren die höchsten Wesen, die mit unserer Evolution verknüpft waren. Sie hatten aber auch eine Entwickelung durchgemacht. Es gab also Wesen, die damals im Begriff standen, Sonnengeister zu werden und solche, die zurückgeblieben waren, die tiefer standen als die Sonnengeister, jedoch höher als der Mensch, die die Entwickelung der Sonnengeister nicht mitmachen konnten, weil sie nicht so reif waren wie diese. Sie konnten nicht mit der Sonne herausgehen; die Sonne hätte sie versengt. Für die Erde waren sie aber zu edel, daher hatten sie sich besondere Substanzen, die an Feinheit zwischen Sonne und Erde stehen, die ihrer Natur entsprachen, herausgenommen und sich Wohnplätze gebildet zwischen Sonne und Erde. So spalteten sich heraus Venus und Merkur. Da haben wir zwei Gruppen von Wesenheiten, die nicht so hoch gekommen waren wie die Sonnengeister, aber weiter waren als der Mensch. Sie wurden Venus-, sie wurden Merkurgeister. Diese Wesenheiten sind die Veranlasser der Entstehung dieser beiden Planeten. Ferner bildeten sich schon früher heraus Mars, Jupiter und Saturn, aus anderen Gründen. Diese wurden wiederum Wohnplätze für bestimmte Wesenheiten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":259,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/106/1908-09-05/p012"}],"english":["GA 106/1908-09-05/p015"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":286,"en_words":294,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4393,"original_word_count":4251,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Norman MacBeth","identified_edition":"AP1971","book_title":"Egyptian Myths and Mysteries","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA106/English/AP1971/19080905p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
