A summary explanation of symbol no. 86 – The Analysis of the Human Being’s Evolution. The Earth’s Evolutionary Step


The symbol shows the Earth’s various steps in evolution. Once the planet was glowing. It gradually cooled down and became volcanic. Later the plant kingdom and then the animal kingdom began to emerge. Within 3000 years the planet will belong to the step of the real human kingdom (yellow).

  • Red symbolises the plant kingdom.
  • Orange symbolises the animal kingdom, to which terrestrial human beings belong.
  • Yellow symbolises the real human kingdom.
  • The middle coloured figure symbolises the principle of the development of bodies. Reading from left to right we see mineral matter (indigo), vegetable organisms (red), animal organisms (orange) and thereafter increasingly mental organisms (yellow).
  • The small steps on the lowest coloured figure symbolise the human beings’ possibilities for evolving to continuously higher states.


Martinus' own explanation of the symbol can be found in The Eternal World Picture, vol. 6, which is not yet available in English.
