The three previous cycles were a preparation for this. The first cycle is actually only a repetition of the existence on Saturn. And its seven stages of formation are seven repetitions of the stages of life in the cycle on Saturn. But it is only in the second solar cycle that life flashes in the human body. The human body is not yet fully developed enough for the archangels, who take up their position on the sun that the planetary spirit occupied on Saturn, to find satisfaction in this life. Rather, the powers that can flow from this life absorb the strength. During the third cycle, the seven entities that arose from the spirit of Saturn take their place; and during the fourth cycle, the archangels live in the life of the earthly bodies, as the planetary spirit was reflected in the bodies of Saturn. During the fifth course of the sun, the archangels ascend to a higher level of existence, and the angels take their place on the planet. During the sixth course of the sun, the angels have also developed so highly that they no longer require the physical part of the human body; they only use the incoming and outgoing light for their purposes in order to live in it. The physical human body has become an independent entity, the model for the present physical body of man. And at this stage it also behaves entirely like a physical apparatus; only like one whose parts are alive. It is, so to speak, a living sensory instrument, but its perceptions are not absorbed by itself. It lacks the necessary degree of consciousness for this. He is in a plant-like sleep, which is his highest level of consciousness. What is conceived in him as perceptions passes into the consciousness of the angels, archangels, etc., depending on the sequence of the various solar cycles. These higher beings watch over the sleeping human body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"43.

Drei vorhergehende Kreisläufe waren eine Vorbereitung dazu. Der erste Kreislauf gestaltet sich eigentlich nur als eine Wiederholung des Saturndaseins. Und seine sieben Formstufen sind sieben Wiederholungen der Lebensstufen des Saturnkreislaufes. Aber erst beim zweiten Sonnenkreislauf blitzt Leben auf im Menschenleib. Dasselbe ist noch nicht so voll entwickelt, dass die Erzengel, welche auf der Sonne in die Stellung eintreten, welche auf dem Saturn der Planetengeist eingenommen hat, in diesem Leben ihre Befriedigung finden können. Es saugen vielmehr jetzt die Kraft, welche aus diesem Leben fließen kann, die Gewalten. Während des dritten Kreislaufes treten die sieben aus dem Saturngeist entstandenen Wesenheiten an die Stelle; und während des vierten Laufes leben in dem Leben der Erdenleiber die Erzengel, wie sich der Planetengeist in den Leibern des Saturn gespiegelt hat. Während des fünften Sonnenlaufes steigen die Erzengel zu einer höheren Daseinsstufe auf, und die Engel treten auf dem Planeten an ihre Stelle. Während des sechsten Sonnenlaufes haben sich auch die Engel so hoch entwickelt, dass sie des physischen Teiles des Menschenleibes nicht bedürfen; sie bedienen sich nur noch für ihre Zwecke des aus- und einströmenden Lichtes, um darin zu leben. Der physische Menschenleib ist eine selbstständige Wesenheit geworden, das Vorbild des gegenwärtigen physischen Körpers des Menschen. Und er verhält sich auf dieser Stufe auch ganz wie ein physischer Apparat; nur wie ein solcher, dessen Teile eben leben. Er ist gewissermaßen ein lebendes Sinnesinstrument, dessen Wahrnehmungen aber nicht von ihm selbst aufgenommen werden. Ihm selbst fehlt dazu der nötige Bewusstseinsgrad. Er ist in einem pflanzenartigen Schlaf, der seine höchste Bewusstseinsstufe ausmacht. Was in ihm als Wahrnehmungen entworfen wird, geht in das Bewusstsein der Engel, Erzengel usw. über, je nach der Folge der verschiedenen Sonnenkreisläufe.
