The pupil knew that nothing in the universe repeats itself exactly, and that each planet has its mission.

This was not yet present on the ancient Moon. What was present on the latter planet in a much more spiritual (but also in a much colder) form, the primal image of man, clothed itself in a warm astral covering. On the Moon, what man was supposed to become was clothed in a warm astral sheath, and it is this part which on Earth enables the inner human life to develop love from the lowest to the highest form.","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.
