43. Consciousness – Life – Form

Something similar must occur in the sixth cycle for the archangels. They leave the mass of Saturn and orbit it as a new planet, which is called Jupiter in the secret science. And in the seventh cycle, something similar happens with regard to the angels. They draw their mass out of that of Saturn and orbit it as an independent planet. In esoteric science, this planet is called Mars. These are processes that have already taken place in a similar way during the previous Saturn cycles. In the third cycle, the forces guided the soul's development. During the fourth, they left the planet and orbited it as a brightly shining independent planet, which in esoteric science is called Mercury. In the third cycle, the same thing happened with the powers, which became independent as the planet Venus.
