If we now look at these working beings themselves in the spiritual world, we have the impression that they are, so to speak, young spirits who, in their childhood, have the task of being caretakers of the human ego. Later, when they themselves have advanced further in their development, they will be assigned to other evolutionary work. On Jupiter, they will be the servants of the zodiacal forces and beings of Jupiter. They will one day work down from the zodiac of Jupiter. The beings who, as the twelve groups of elemental spirits now form our senses on Earth, formed our senses on the old moon, are today the beings of our zodiac. Just as a sun shines on our Earth, so, when we as human beings evolve to the Jupiter existence, a sun will shine on Jupiter; and the beings who will then live out their powers in this sun are the beings who are now servants of the spirits of wisdom and live in our blood circulation. The spiritual beings who today regulate our blood circulation will one day regulate the solar cycle of Jupiter!
