Saturn transformed itself into the ancient Sun, which again changed into the ancient Moon. In the time when the ancient Sun was Moon, a particular development began. This Moon for the time went forth out of the Sun. In the ancient Moon we have the first heavenly body, which is outside and separate from the Sun. The Sun was able to evolve higher, because it cast from it the coarser substances. The whole system then developed towards our present earth. Our earth came into being because, along with all the remaining Moon and Earth, it divided from the Sun the coarser substances and beings belonging to it. But evolution goes further. The beings who have now to dwell upon the Earth, separated from the Sun, and who have been thrown out of the Sun, although excluded from it are developing ever higher and higher. They have to pass through yet another condition, that of Jupiter. But through all this, they are gradually maturing towards re-union with the Sun. And when the condition of the Venus-development will have come, all the beings who now live and move upon our earth will be re-absorbed into the Sun, and the Sun itself will have reached a higher stage of development, just because it will have again redeemed all the beings it had formerly excluded. Then will come the Vulcan development, the highest state in the development of our system. These are the seven stages of evolution of our system: Saturn, Sun, Moon, Earth, Jupiter, Venus and Vulcan. In the Vulcan development, all those Beings who have evolved out of the small beginnings of the Saturn existence, will be spiritualised in the highest degree, they will have grown not only as far as the Sun, but even higher than the Sun. Vulcan is more than Sun, and with this it has reached the maturity of sacrifice, the maturity necessary to self disintegration.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture V","site_heading":"Cosmic Evolution Through Spiritual Hierarchies and Planetary Formation","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.

Alles in der Welt, alles im Universum hat sich entwickelt. Und wenn wir uns eine Vorstellung machen wollen davon, woher diese Cherubim, Seraphim und Throne kommen, so tun wir gut, uns auf unser eigenes Sonnensystem zunächst einmal einzulassen und uns zu fragen, was wird denn aus unserem Sonnensystem einstmals werden? Wir wollen die Entwickelung unseres Sonnensystems einmal kurz zeichnen. Wir wissen, es ist ausgegangen von dem alten Saturn, dann hat sich dieser alte Saturn umgewandelt zur alten Sonne, diese wandelt sich um zum alten Mond. In der Zeit, in welcher die alte Sonne Mond wird, tritt eine besondere Entwickelung ein. Dieser Mond geht aus der Sonne zum erstenmal heraus, und wir haben in dem alten Mond zuerst einen Weltenkörper, der außerhalb der Sonne ist. Dadurch kann die Sonne sich höher entwickeln, daß sie das Gröbste aus sich herausgesetzt hat. Nun entwickelt sich das ganze System zum System unserer heutigen Erde. Unsere Erde kommt dadurch zustande, daß sich wiederum außer allem übrigen Mond und Erde als die gröberen Substanzen und die Träger der gröberen Wesenheiten von der Sonne heraussondern. Aber die Entwickelung geht weiter. Die Wesenheiten, die jetzt auf der Erde abgesondert wohnen müssen, die aus der Sonne sozusagen herausgeworfen sind, diese Wesenheiten entwickeln sich in ihrer Sonnenabgesondertheit immer höher und höher. Sie müssen noch einen Zustand durchmachen, den Jupiterzustand. Aber dadurch reifen sie allmählich heran, sich wiederum mit der Sonne zu vereinigen. Und wenn der Zustand der Venusentwickelung gekommen sein wird, dann werden alle die Wesen, die heute auf unserer Erde wogen und leben, sozusagen wiederum aufgenommen worden sein in die Sonne, und die Sonne wird selbst eine höhere Stufe der Entwickelung erreicht haben, eben dadurch, daß sie alle ihre Wesenheiten, die sie aus sich herausgesetzt hat, wieder zurückerlöst hat. Und dann kommt die Vulkanentwikkelung, die höchste Stufe der Entwickelung unseres Systems. Denn das sind die sieben Entwickelungsstufen unseres Systems: Saturn, Sonne, Mond, Erde, Jupiter, Venus und Vulkan. In der Vulkanentwikkelung sind alle die Wesenheiten, die sozusagen aus kleinen Anfängen des Saturndaseins hervorgegangen sind, im höchsten Sinne vergeistigt, sie sind zusammen nicht nur Sonne, sondern Über-Sonne geworden. Der Vulkan ist mehr als Sonne und damit hat er erlangt die Reife zum Opfer, die Reife dazu, sich aufzulösen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":379,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/110/1909-04-14/p006"}],"english":["GA 110/1909-04-14/p006","GA 110/1909-04-14/p007"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":379,"en_words":409,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4614,"original_word_count":4361,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"APC1928","book_title":"The Spiritual Hierarchies (1928)","publisher":"Anthroposophical Publishing Co.","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA110/English/APC1928/19090414p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
