In other words, while nothing of all that surrounds us today existed on that primeval cosmic body we designate the old *Saturn* (not the present planet)—nothing of our animal or plant life, or even of our mineral kingdom—yet there were the first rudiments of the present-day human physical body. This physical human body was constituted very differently from what it is today: it was present in its earliest germinal state, then developed during the Saturn evolution; and when the latter was completed the old *Saturn* passed through a sort of cosmic night in the same manner in which man passes through a devachan in order to reach his next incarnation. Then *Saturn* became the *Sun*; and as the plant arises out of the seed, so the human physical body reappeared on the old *Sun*. Gradually this physical body became permeated by an etheric or life body, so that on the old *Sun* the germinal physical body was joined by the etheric or life body. Man was then not a plant, but he had the status of a plant. He consisted of physical body and etheric body, and his consciousness resembled that of sleep, the consciousness of the carpet of plants that is spread out around us in the physical world today.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.
