In part 1 of this article we learned that the Earth as we know it today did not appear straight away from the nothingness, but evolved gradually during four major great periods of development, or as we called them ‘reincarnations’. Similarly to the way as humans are incarnated into a specific physical body, develop gradually and then die to be reborn again in another physical body, so does the earth. The difference is, however, that in the case of the Earth we are talking about gigantic periods of time.

According to the spiritual science, during its first reincarnation, the Earth comprised only one element, which was the fire element. We called this stage ‘The Old Saturn’. We should not mix the planet Saturn as we know it today with this old state of our planet, because these are essentially two different things. The whole purpose of the Saturn reincarnation of the Earth was the task to develop the physical body of today’s humans. The consciousness in which the Saturnian humanity lived back then can be compared with the level of consciousness of present day minerals. This makes sense, since minerals also comprise only of physical bodies, similar to the ancient Saturnian humanity. The difference is that the matter back then was still in a very refined state and was not visible from the point of view of modern men.

The second reincarnation of the Earth is called the ‘The Old Sun’. The matter of which this planet was made from gradually became denser, and thus a second element was introduced, which was the air. During this stage the ancient Sun humanity developed the ability to grow and reproduce, because it became able to imbue into itself the ethereal body. Thus, the ancient Sun inhabitants comprised two bodies - physical and ethereal. Their level of consciousness can be compared with present day plants, since they also comprise these two bodies. Some of the living beings on the Old Sun lagged behind in their proper development and remained with physical bodies only. Thus, on the Old Sun we could clearly observe two major kingdoms -  inhabitants with physical bodies only, which were similar to present day minerals and inhabitants with physical and ethereal bodies, which were similar to present day plants.

The third reincarnation of the Earth was the ‘The Old Moon’. Due to the further densification of the matter this ancient planet comprised three elements - for the first time the water element appeared on it in addition to the fire and the air element. Water element is nothing else, but the condensed form of the air element. We can observe this fact even today. When some liquid is heated up (the water element), it eventually evaporates (i.e. turns into a gaseous form, which is the air element). The purpose of the Old Moon stage was to incorporate astral bodies into the Moon humanity. The astral body is nothing else, but what we call today ‘aura’, which is the bearer of all emotions, feelings and sensations. All animals living today on the earth possess physical, ethereal and astral bodies, so it would be right to say that the level of consciousness of the Old Moon humanity was close to the level of consciousness of present day animals. Again, not all living beings could keep up the pace of development and some of them lagged behind. Some of them already lagged behind on the Old Saturn (where they possessed only physical bodies), so it was impossible for them to continue their development on the Old Moon, where the conditions were tailored for developing astral bodies. Thus, on the Old Moon we could differentiate three major kingdoms.

And lastly, the Earth was incarnated again as what we know it today, where the matter was further condensed, thus the fourth element was introduced - the earth element. At this stage of development the primary task was to introduce to people the mental body first and some time later - the Higher Self, which we also may call spirit. So you can see that the four elements as we know them today are not simply a result of some ‘big bang’, but a logical outcome of four previous reincarnations of the Earth. The same applies to the four kingdoms as we know them today. The representatives of the mineral kingdom lagged in their development on the Old Saturn and thus possess physical bodies only. The representatives of the plant kingdom lagged behind on the Old Sun and thus today they possess physical and ethereal bodies only. Thanks to their ethereal bodies they can grow and proliferate. The animal kingdom lagged behind in its development on the Old Moon. Therefore animals comprise three bodies - physical, ethereal and astral. Because of their ethereal bodies they can also grow and reproduce, similar to the plants, but in addition to this thanks to their astral bodies they can also feel, sense and be emotional. Humans, on the other hand posses in addition to the above mentioned three bodies also a mental body and a Higher Self, which makes them different from animals.

In fact humans possess a sevenfold structure, but the other three bodies will be fully developed in the future reincarnations of the earth. These are the future Jupiter, the future Venus and the future Vulcan. This concept is illustrated in the following diagram. It can be observed that the whole planetary evolutional cycle comprises seven major reincarnations. These are the Old Saturn, the Old Sun, the Old Moon, present day Earth, future Jupiter, future Venus and future Vulcan. During the first four incarnations the matter gradually becomes denser and denser, until it reaches its lowest point in present day Earth. In the future reincarnations the matter will gradually become more and more refined until it reaches its original, very refined and spiritual state, however, this time we will live in a much higher, spiritualized level of consciousness.

Each one of those great seven reincarnations is divided by seven great periods, which are marked on the diagram with the letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G. It can be observed that these seven great periods (within each reincarnation) follow the same pattern. During the first four periods the matter becomes denser and denser, while during the last three it purifies and becomes gradually more and more refined. The lowest point in all cases is the period D, which indicates the maximum density of the matter. For example during the incarnation called the old Saturn the matter was densified to the maximum during the D period only to the region of concrete thought. It is difficult for the modern man to imagine a planet, comprised from thought, but nevertheless that was exactly the state in which the Old Saturn existed. Thought is also made from matter, but in a very refined state. Our thoughts from a clairvoyant point of view can be observed as physical objects. Every time when we think, we in fact create these objects (which are our thoughts) around us. We may not see them, but they are as real as the tables and chairs that surround us in the physical world. These objects have the ability to attract to themselves energy which is similar in nature to them. This is the reason why positive thoughts attract positive events in our lives and negative thoughts attract the very dreadful events that we are most afraid of.

So we can see that the matter from which the Old Saturn was made up gradually became more dense and from the world of divine spirit (period A) came down to the world of the life spirit (period B), then to the realm of the abstract thought (period C) and in its most dense state descended to the world of concrete thought (period D). The difference between the abstract thought and the concrete thought is huge. For example if we formulate the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse of any right-angle triangle always equals the sum of the squares of its sides, we are taken into the realm of the abstract thought. This is so because once such a statement is proven it applies to any concrete triangle. On the other hand, if we are given a concrete triangle, for which we know that one side is say 4 cm and the other 6 cm and we have to calculate its hypotenuse, we come down to the world of concrete thought.

Similarly, we can observe that during the Old Sun reincarnation, the matter condensed into its most dense form during the D period to the desire world (the world of senses, or the astral world). During the Old Moon reincarnation the matter condensed again to maximum during the D period to the etheric region, while only on Earth it became so dense that it can now manifest into the chemical or the material region. During the future three reincarnations the matter on Earth will gradually become less and less dense, until on the future Vulcan the most dense form will be again the region of concrete thought, but the living beings on this future planet will be in a such spiritualized and refined state, that they will be able to perceive not the physical bodies of the other people (as it is today), but the concrete and abstract thoughts of other people, as well as the Higher Selves of other people as part of the external reality.

When the future Vulcan people will observe the external reality they will not find themselves to be surrounded by material objects as we are today, but they will be surrounded by thoughts. The most intimate and most spiritual part of humans, which is the Higher Self, will also be clearly visible externally. If today it is still possible for certain individuals to say one thing, while at the same time they are thinking something else, in the future this will become progressively less and less possible. Even on the future Jupiter, perceiving other people’s ethereal bodies will become a normal state of consciousness. Since the ethereal body carries the information about the past of the individual, everything what this person has done in the past (including past lives) will be clearly observed externally. Already on the future Jupiter it will become almost impossible to lie, because all deeds done in the past will be clearly visible to everyone else. On the future Venus the normal state of consciousness will be to perceive other people’s astral bodies (or auras). Then all our feelings will be clearly displayed out there for anyone to see. It will be impossible to say that we are not upset, or not happy, because all feelings are registered in the astral body and they will be clearly visible to anyone else. And finally on the future Vulcan even the realm of concrete thoughts will be visible externally, so people will be able to see each other’s thoughts.

As you already noticed from the diagram each one of the seven reincarnations is divided into seven great cycles, or epochs. The seven great cycles for the present reincarnation of the Earth are listed below:

1. Polarian epoch (epoch A) - in the beginning the earth was still not physically separate from the Sun. The Sun on the other hand was quite different to what it is today and still did not emit light at this stage. In this first cycle of development all the material substance of the earth together with the material substances of some of the other planets together formed part of the Sun. They were all combined into one physical body. However, some of the beings inhabiting this common planet developed more slowly then the others and thus it was necessary for them to continue their development at a distance. Some of the common material substance was periodically expelled from the Sun and this is how the planets were created one by one. By the end of the Polarian epoch the Earth was separated from the Sun.
2. Hyperborean epoch (epoch B) - during this period the Sun began to emit light and this could be observed externally, because the Earth was separated from the Sun by then. In the Bible this period is referred to as ‘Let there be light and there was light’. The Earth continued to form slowly. At this stage it still comprised the fire and air element only. Hyperborean people comprised physical and ethereal bodies only, so they were in fact very similar to the plants.
3. Lemurian epoch (epoch C) - during this time the water element started being formed due to the further densification of the matter. During this epoch humans developed their astral bodies and were divided gradually into two sexes. Before that they reproduced in a process, which is in a way similar to cloning not much different to the way plants reproduce today. Part of the material substance was expelled from the Earth and formed what we know today as the Moon. From this point onwards the Moon becomes the ruler of the female sex, while the Sun becomes the ruler of the male sex.
4. Atlantean epoch (epoch D) - this is the time where the first intellectual capacities of the people started developing, in other words at this time the mental body started being implemented into people. From this point onwards people formed the forth kingdom of humans, which is different from animals. The ancient Atlantean people lived in very different conditions to what we know today. Although the material substance was now even more dense then before it was still far from what it is today and Atlantean people lived into what can be described as fire-fog, since almost half of the water which exists today on our planet was back then in gaseous form and surrounded the earth as a very thick fog, similar to what we can observe today in a sauna.В 
5. Present Arian epoch (epoch E) - The Earth cooled down and great amounts of water turned from gaseous into liquid form, which caused the end of the Atlantean epoch. This is described in the Bible as the Big Flood and the story of Noah. The moment in the Bible, which describes how after the rain stopped, Noah was able to see the rainbow is quite remarkable, because it depicts a literal fact. It was only from the beginning of the present Arian epoch, when the water element condensed into what we know today as oceans and seas, while before that time a great amount of it was spread into the atmosphere. Atlantean people were living essentially in a fog, although they were able to perceive each other spiritually. So it was only after the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, (in other words when the atmosphere of the earth changed, because it comprised from this point onwards primarily of the air element), when people became able to see the physical phenomenon of a rainbow.
6. Future sixth epoch
7. Future seventh epoch
