“Clairvoyant consciousness is able to learn something of what will happen during the Jupiter state. The beings and facts observed in this field of consciousness have not the nature of sense-images; they do not even appear as fine air structures from which effects might proceed which resemble sense-impressions. They give purely spiritual impressions of sound, light, and heat. These are not expressed through any material embodiments. They can be apprehended only through clairvoyant consciousness. One may say, however, that these beings which at present manifest on the psycho-spiritual plane, possess a ‘body.’ This body, however, appears like a sum of condensed memories which they carry within their souls.

“One can distinguish within their being what they are now experiencing and what they have experienced and now remember. This last is contained within them like a bodily element. They are conscious of it in the same way that an earthly human being is conscious of his [physical] body.

“at a stage of clairvoyant development higher than just described as necessary for a knowledge of the Moon and Jupiter states, the student is able to perceive supersensible beings and things which are, in fact, the more highly developed forms of those present during the Sun condition, but which have reached stages of existence so lofty as to be quite imperceptible to a consciousness capable of observing the Moon forms only.”

–Rudolf Steiner

Clairvoyant Consciousness

What Mr. Steiner calls “Clairvoyant consciousness,” we in Cosolargy might refer to as simply “psychic consciousness” without specifying a specific psychic ability to associate with it. I won’t bother to get into what he calls “the Jupiter state.” Suffice it to say that what he calls “the Moon state” is the low level of the typical materialistic person on Earth. A higher state of consciousness associated with the psychic level of being, he calls “the Jupiter level,” and still higher is the “sun level,” or spiritual level. He also makes it clear that there are even higher levels of being and consciousness than the spiritual level. We would call the highest level Christ Consciousness or Cosmic Consciousness.

Purely Spiritual

Steiner says the beings that one might observe in a higher state of consciousness have “not the nature of sense-images.” In other words, they cannot be seen by the physical senses of the body, but must be seen by awakened psychic and spiritual senses. He adds that they give “purely spiritual impressions,” which makes sense as we are talking about spiritual beings. He adds that these beings do possess a body, but not one of matter. Steiner says their bodies appear “ like a sum of condensed memories,” an odd description in my opinion as I have no idea what condensed memories would look like. I think it is better to describe the bodies of these beings as less dense than our physical bodies, and made of energy rather than matter. At the highest levels of consciousness, the beings found there would have bodies of brilliant Light and energy.

Supersensible Beings

Steiner goes on to say that beyond this Jupiter State, are even higher developed forms of the being found in the Sun State. This indicates that the beings of the Sun State are even more advances, in a spiritual sense, then those found in the Jupiter State. This makes perfect sense to students of Cosolargy who know that there are beings that exist at all levels of reality, some good, some not good. In order to see and communicate with these higher-level beings, we must raise our own consciousness to their level. That is what the Solar Techniques of Cosolargy help us do.
