We know that the next condition is again one of condensation. The third condition of our World system is that of the Ancient Moon. Those of you who have given attention to the communications from the Akashic Record know that the ancient Moon had come into being because the Sun substance had condensed still more, as far as to the condition of water. The Moon contained no solid earth as yet, but was composed of fire, air and water. It had so coordinated the watery element. Gas or air was condensed in it to the element of water. Who effected this? That Hierarchy of spiritual Beings brought this about, whom we call Mights, Virtutes, or Spirits of Motion. Thus it happened through the Virtutes, that the mass of the ancient Moon contracted to the limits of the orbit of the present Mars. Mars is thus the boundary showing the size of the Moon. If you imagine a globe with the present Sun for its centre, and for its limit the orbit of the present Mars, you have the size of the ancient Moon. We have reached the point when we must remember that when the ancient Moon was formed out of Saturn and Sun, something quite new took place. A part of the dense substance was now thrown out, and two globes came into being. One of the two took up the finer substances and Beings and became a finer Sun, the second became a denser Moon. This third condition of our planetary system developed in such a way that, for a time, it remained one single planet; then it threw off a planet from itself, which remained in its vicinity. At first, so long as it formed one single body, the Moon extended to the orbit of the present Mars; then the Sun contracted, and was encircled by another body; approximately in the place where the present Mars has its orbit, was more or less the periphery of the original single body.","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.

Diejenigen, die sich beschäftigt haben mit den Mitteilungen aus der Akasha-Chronik, wissen, daß der alte Mond dadurch entstanden ist, daß sich wiederum die Substanz der Sonne weiter verdichtet hat bis zum Wässerigen. Der Mond hat noch nicht feste Erde, aber er hat Feuer, Luft und Wasser. Er hat das wässerige Element sich eingeordnet. Es hat sich das Gas oder die Luft verdichtet zum wässerigen Element. Wer hat das bewirkt? Das hat die zweite Gruppe aus dieser Hierarchie der geistigen Wesenheiten bewirkt, diejenige Gruppe, die wir Mächte, Virtutes, nennen. Und es ist also durch die Virtutes geschehen, daß die Masse der alten Sonne zusammengedrängt worden ist bis zur Grenze des heutigen Mars. Der Mars ist wiederum der Grenzstein für die Größe des alten Mondes.
