Just as the other planets gradually emerged during the development of the sun, so it happens to them again during the development of the moon. Only this time they are one step closer to physical existence: at the point in time when the moon is at the height of its development, that is, from the physical form of its fourth cycle onwards. During the fifth orbit, Mars, which is then inhabited by angels, takes on a fine, ethereal-physical form in the vicinity of the moon; during the sixth orbit, a similar process takes place in relation to Jupiter, the dwelling place of the archangels. During the seventh lunar cycle, finally, the same thing happens to Mercury. Mars and Jupiter have become even denser in the meantime; the former has a density that enables it to develop heat through the movements of its components and to flow out into space.
