The goal of the evolution of our present Earth planet is to mature into the Cosmos of Love, just as the Old Moon, which preceded our Earth evolution, once developed into the Cosmos of Wisdom. And just as wisdom is now woven into the whole of nature, so on the New Jupiter, which will in future follow our Earth's evolution, love will work like a force of nature. And just as our physical body is now wisely constructed, so the etheric body will then be infused with love.

„In mystical mythology, our Earth is called the Cosmos of Love because it is connected with the forces of love. And this Cosmos of Love was preceded by the Cosmos of Wisdom, where light played the same role as warmth does today. The earth followed the cosmos of wisdom as the cosmos of love. What is inner light is connected with the will of man. The human being, who has certain drives, passions, sensations, feelings in him, equips his aura, his astral body with certain colour formations. These are subject to what in a broader sense is called the will. At that time, in the lunar period, the whole human being was an expression of the will. The will flowed outwards and appeared as that which shines. Therefore, when we call these people of the Cosmos of Wisdom human beings, our ancestors are the Sons of the Will. So the children of love are descended from the Sons of the Will. So light played a similar role then as warmth does on Earth today.“ (Lit.:GA 53, p. 251f)

„What the physical body of man bears today as its characteristic qualities, it owes to the Old Moon. In occultism the Old Moon is called the Cosmos of Wisdom. At that time, on the Old Moon, that which you now find in the physical body of man was gradually prepared. And just as what is our physical body was permeated with wisdom on the moon, so through the Cosmos of Love is prepared what you will find in the later Jupiter state of the Earth: the etheric body completely permeated with the element of love. And as today we admire a piece of bone of the physical body in its wisdom, so - if we may speak comparatively - the Jupiter people will admire the etheric body, because it is just as permeated by love as the physical body on earth is permeated by wisdom.“ (Lit.:GA 101, p. 213)
