However, one should not assume that other levels of consciousness were not present in beings that had their existence in connection with this earlier embodiment of the earth at that time. Above all, there was a being present at that time that had a consciousness equivalent to the present waking day consciousness of man. But since the conditions in the vicinity of Saturn were quite different from those on Earth, this level of consciousness also had to operate in a significantly different way.
