One must imagine that the “sensory germs” of the physical body, which by that time have become further developed, can be used by the Spirits of Twilight from the middle of the fourth course of the Moon onward in order to perceive external objects and events on the Moon. Only on the earth will man be so far advanced that, from the middle of the fourth cycle onward, he can make use of these senses. On the other hand, around the middle of the fifth course of the Moon, he reaches the point where he can be engaged *unconsciously* on the physical body. Through this activity in the dullness of his consciousness he creates for himself the first germinal predisposition to what is called “spirit self” ( *Manas*). This “spirit self” attains its full unfolding in the course of the subsequent development of mankind. In its union with *Atma*, the “spirit-man,” and with *Buddhi*, the “life-spirit,” it is what later forms the higher, spiritual part of man. As on Saturn the *Thrones* or Spirits of Will permeated the “spirit-man” ( *Atma*), and as on the Sun the *Cherubim* permeated the life-spirit ( *Buddhi*) with wisdom, so now the *Seraphim* accomplish this for the “spirit-self” ( *Manas*). They permeate it, and thereby implant in it a capacity which at later stages of development—on the earth—becomes that conceptualizing faculty of man by means of which, as a thinking being, he can enter into a relation with the world which surrounds him.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":295,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/11/l16/p010","witness_quality":{"translator":{"status":"unknown","warning":"No translator is recorded for this edition.

At this time, these Spirits of Personality have ascended to higher spheres.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":90,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/11/l16/p012","witness_quality":{"translator":{"status":"unknown","warning":"No translator is recorded for this edition.

They thereby implant in these images the *joy* and the *pain* which are caused by things. On the Sun the scene of their corresponding activity had still been the merely physical body. Hence joy and pain were there connected only with the functions of this body and with *its* conditions. Now this becomes different. Joy and pain now become attached to the symbols which arise in the ether body. In the dim human consciousness the Spirits of Twilight thus experience a world of emotions. This is the same world of emotions which man will experience for himself in his earth consciousness.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":131,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/11/l16/p013","witness_quality":{"translator":{"status":"unknown","warning":"No translator is recorded for this edition.

They enable it to carry on an active perception and feeling of the environment. Joy and pain, such as have been produced in the ether body by the Spirits of Twilight in the manner just described, have an inactive (passive) character; they present themselves as inactive mirrorings of the outside world. But what the Fire Spirits produce in the astral body are vivid *emotions*, love and hate, rage, fear, horror, stormy passions, instincts, impulses and so forth. Because the Spirits of Personality (the *Asuras*) have previously inoculated this astral body with their nature, these emotions now appear with the character of selfhood, of separateness. One must now represent to oneself how at that time the ancestor of man is constituted on the Moon. He has a physical body through which in dullness he develops a “spirit self” ( *Manas*). He has an ether body, through which the Twilight Spirits feel joy and pain; and finally he possesses an astral body which, through the Fire Spirits, is moved by impulses, emotions, and passions. But these three members of the Moon man still completely lack the object consciousness. In the astral body images flow and ebb, and in these there glow the emotions named above. When the thinking object consciousness will make its appearance on the earth, this astral body will be the subordinate carrier or the instrument of conceptual thinking. Now however, it unfolds in its own entire independence on the Moon. In itself it is more active here, more agitated than later on the earth. If one wishes to characterize it, one can say that it is an animal man. As such, it is on a higher level than the present-day animals of earth. It possesses the qualities of animality in a more complete way. In a certain respect these are more savage and unbridled than present-day animal qualities. Therefore, at this stage of his existence, one can call man a being which in its development stands midway between present-day animals and man. If man had continued to advance in a straight line along this path of development, he would have become a wild, unrestrained being. The development of earth represents a toning down, a taming of the animal character in man. This is caused by the thinking consciousness.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":392,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/11/l16/p014","witness_quality":{"translator":{"status":"unknown","warning":"No translator is recorded for this edition.
