These Spirits of Personality worked over, as it were, what had flowed from the Thrones; and through the collaboration of these two kinds of beings the first inception of the human physical body came into being. This work continued over a long period of time. Then, as mentioned yesterday, a cosmic night, or world *devachan*, intervened, and there came about the second embodiment of the earth, the *Sun* phase. Human beings emerged again, and other spiritual beings appeared on the scene: the Spirits of Fire, or *Archangels*, as they are known in Christian esotericism, and the Spirits of Wisdom, or *Kyriotetes*. These were mainly concerned with the further development of what reappeared as the human physical body. Now it was the turn of the Kyriotetes—the Dominions, or Spirits of Wisdom—to sacrifice their substantiality; and what we call the etheric body flowed into the physical body. This etheric body was then worked upon by the Spirits of Fire, or Archangels, in collaboration with the Spirits of Personality; and thereby man became a being of the rank of a plant. We may say that on *Saturn* the human being had the status of a mineral, for our minerals have only a physical body, and so had the man of *Saturn*; hence he lived a mineral existence. On the *Sun* he had the status of a plant, for he had a physical and an etheric body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.
