Spirits of Motion

The Spirits of Motion (SoM), also called Dynamis (Greek: δύναμις) or Dynameis, Virtues (Latin Virtutes "virtues") or, according to Indian Theosophical terminology, Mahat, were the actual masters of the ancient lunar evolution, during which they gave man his astral body. However, they had already been involved in the development of the human bodies and in the evolution of our planetary system since the Old Saturn. Today their dominion extends to the Mars sphere; they are the leading Mars beings. In Indian Theosophical terminology, the sum of the Spirits of Motion in their common work is called Mula-Prakriti (Lit.:GA 121, p. 139f).

The consciousness of the Spirits of Motion

The Spirits of Motion have superpsychic consciousness (→ inspiration).

„The third type of spirits with the self-aware (superpsychic) object consciousness is called " Spirits of Motion" or also of "Activity". In Christian secret science they are called dynamis. In theosophical literature they are called "Mahat". From the middle of the second Saturnian cycle onwards they are connected with the further development of the human material body, into which they implant the ability of movement, of force-filled activity. This work reaches its end around the middle of the third Saturn cycle.“ (Lit.:GA 11, p. 164f)
