The Spirits of Motion (SoM), also called Dynamis (Greekδύναμις) or Dynameis, Virtues (Latin Virtutes "virtues") or, according to Indian Theosophical terminology, Mahat[1], 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)

The Dynamis reveal themselves in the fixed stars

The outside of the Spirits of Motion is revealed in the fixed stars, their inside is seen only by the dead.

„Just as the Exusiai, the Spirits of Form, have their macrocosmic body in the planets, which, as it were, turns the outer visible side towards us for ordinary consciousness, so the Spirits of Motion - strangely enough, but it is so - have their outer side in the fixed stars. Their inner side is seen only by the dead between death and a new birth; that is the spiritual side, seen from the other side.“ (Lit.:GA 180, p. 100)

The formation of the Old Moon

In the transition from the Old Sun to the Old Moon, the Spirits of Motion condensed the Old Sun's mass, which originally reached to Jupiter's orbit, to the limit of Mars' orbit.

„The third state of our world system is that of the Old Moon. Those who have studied the messages from the Akashic Chronicle know that the Old Moon came into being through the fact that the substance of the Sun was again further condensed until it became watery. The Moon does not yet have solid earth, but it has fire, air and water. It has incorporated the watery element. The gas or the air has condensed into the watery element. Who brought this about?The second group from this hierarchy of spiritual entities, the group we call Virtutes, brought this about. And so it was through the Virtutes that the mass of the Old Sun was compressed to the limit of the present Mars. Mars, in turn, is the boundary stone for the size of the Old Moon. If you imagine a sphere, with the Sun in the centre and the mass extended to where Mars circles today, then you have the Old Moon in its size.“ (Lit.:GA 110, p. 87f)
