	Until about the 16th century Mars was in descending development. From the impulses that Mars was able to give to the [[Earth]] and humanity up to that time, modern [[natural science]] came into being. After the [[Buddha]] had gone through his last earthly incarnation, he ascended to Mars to fulfil a new mission here. At the beginning of the 17th century, he performed an act here that has a similar significance for Mars as the [[Mystery of Golgotha]] has for the Earth. He succeeded in appeasing the Martian forces and thus began an ascending development of Mars. Thus the [[mission of the Buddha on Mars]] was fulfilled {{GZ\|\|130\|319ff}}.

			In the first half of the [[earth evolution]], when the Earth was not yet in its physical state, there was an interpenetration with the Mars forces. This gave rise to [[iron]] on Earth. In the human organism, Mars manifests itself above all through [[w:bile\|bile]] activity and in language through the vowel E. Of the trees, the [[w:oak\|oak]] in particular corresponds to Mars.
