It lies in the fact that along with the sun the higher beings and the finer substances withdrew from the whole stellar mass as sun, while the coarser substances and the lower beings remained with the Moon. So during the evolution of the old *Moon* we have two heavenly bodies instead of one: a sun body, harboring the higher beings, and a Moon body, the dwelling place of the lower beings. Had the whole remained united, with no separation occurring, certain beings who developed on the sundered Moon could not have kept pace with the sun beings: they were not sufficiently mature, and therefore had to segregate, cast out, the coarser substances and build for themselves a sphere of action apart. Nor could the higher beings have remained united with these coarser substances, for it would have obstructed their more rapid progress. They, too, required a special field for their development, and that was the Sun.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.

Während die Saturn- und Sonnenentwickelung den Menschen als ein verhältnismäßig einheitliches Wesen enthielt, trat in einem bestimmten Zustand der alten Mondenentwickelung folgendes auf. Es spaltete sich der ganze Weltenkörper in zwei Glieder: in eine Sonne und in einen Nebenplaneten dieser Sonne, in den Mond. Während wir also bei der Saturnentwickelung gewissermaßen von einer planetarischen Entwickelung sprechen, und ebenso auch bei der Sonne, sprechen wir bei dem Monde nur für die erste Zeit dieser Mondenentwickelung von eiser Entwickelung. Das kommt daher, weil zuerst alles, was unsere Erde, Sonne und Mond ist, in diesem einen alten Weltenkörper in einem Zustande beisammen war. Dann entstehen zwei Körper. Was da als Sonne entsteht, ist nicht unsere Sonne, noch auch die alte Sonne, die wir vorhin erwähnt haben. Es ist ein besonderer Zustand, der von dem alten Monde als ein Sonnenzustand sich aussonderte, und es entsteht daneben ein außerhalb dieser Sonne befindlicher, diese Sonne umkreisender Planet, den wir wiederum nun den «alten Mond» nennen.

So haben wir jetzt während der alten Monden-Entwickelung statt eines Weltenkörpers zwei Körper: einen Sonnenkörper, der höhere Wesenheiten beherbergt, und einen Mondenkörper, der niedere Wesenheiten beherbergt. Wäre das Ganze zusammengeblieben und die Spaltung nicht geschehen, dann hätten gewisse Wesenheiten, die sich auf dem abgespaltenen Monde entwickelten, das Tempo der Sonnenwesen nicht mitmachen können. Sie waren nicht reif dazu. Sie mußten daher die gröberen Substanzen absondern und sich einen gesonderten Schauplatz bauen. Aber auch die höheren Wesenheiten hätten mit diesen gröberen Substanzen nicht vereinigt bleiben können; das würde ihren schnelleren Fortschritt gehemmt haben. Auch sie brauchten einen besonderen Schauplatz der Entwickelung, und das war die Sonne.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":146,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/112/1909-06-26/p020"}],"english":["GA 112/1909-06-26/p013","GA 112/1909-06-26/p014"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":333,"en_words":369,"ratio":1.11,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 112/1909-06-26/p019","GA 112/1909-06-26/p020"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6285,"original_word_count":6182,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Samuel and Loni Lockwood","identified_edition":"AP1948","book_title":"The Gospel of St. John","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA112/English/AP1948/19090626p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
