By acting upon their images from without, the spiritual beings spiritualize the Moon, with the result that the latter can in time reunite with the sun. The prototypes take their images back into themselves, absorb them, as it were. Another *world devachan* comes about, a cosmic night. (This is also known as a *pralaya*, whereas stages like *Saturn*, *Sun*, and *Moon* are called *manvantaras*.) Following this cosmic night there issues out of the obscurity of the cosmic womb our *Earth* stage, whose mission it is to advance man to the stage at which he can add the ego, or ego bearer, to his physical, etheric, and astral bodies. In the meantime, however, all previous evolution must be repeated; for whenever a higher stage is to be reached a cosmic law demands the repetition of all that had already taken place. The *Earth* had thus to pass once more through the old *Saturn* stage: again the first potential beginnings of the physical body evolved as out of the cosmic germ; and then followed a repetition of the *Sun* and *Moon* stages.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.
