We have to understand from this Genesis account that the whole being and activity of the hierarchies is engaged in what is there taking place, that all is concentrated upon this last product of creation, upon this supersensible being of whom it is said: The Elohim made a decision, saying Let us make man. In order to do this they wove together all their separate talents into one common activity. All the capacities which they had brought over from earlier stages they combined together, so as at length to produce man. Thus all the hierarchies which preceded that of man—hierarchies to which we give the names Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Spirits of Wisdom, Spirits of Movement, Spirits of Form, Archai or Spirits of Personality, Fire-Spirits or Archangels, and Angels—moved and had their being in this existence; and if we follow the Genesis account up to the crowning of the structure on the sixth “day” of creation with the appearance of man, if we pass in review the whole of the weaving essence of pre-human earthly evolution, we find all the different hierarchies already there. All these hierarchies had to work together to prepare for what at last emerges in man.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6. Elementary Existence and the Spiritual Beings behind it.

So haben wir also diesen Bericht der Genesis so aufzufassen, daß sich das ganze Weben und Wesen der Hierarchien hineinverflicht in das, was da geschieht, und daß sich das alles gleichsam zusammendichtet zu dem letzten Produkt des Erdenwerdens, zu jener übersinnlichen Wesenheit, denn zunächst ist es noch eine übersinnliche Wesenheit, von der gesagt wird, die Elohim beschlossen sie, indem sie sagten: Nun lasset uns den Menschen machen! — Da woben sie alles das, was sie im einzelnen konnten, zu einem Gesamtwerk zusammen.
