This community of ten ''nifradim'' ({{He\|נפרדים}} "Separate") is also referred to by Gikatilla as the (rightful) ''prince of the world'' and ''active intellect'' and identified with [[Metatron]].

			According to the ancient view, the seven planets determine the fate of man. The Gnostics saw them as the lower realm of spiritual darkness and corruption above which the light world of [[Pleroma]] rises.

			[[Rudolf Steiner]] distinguished between fate-determining and man-releasing planets. The inner planets close to the [[Earth]], [[Moon]], [[Mercury]] and [[Venus]], carry [[karma]] into the disposition and temperament of man; the outer planets [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]] and [[Saturn]] promote human freedom {{GZ\|\|228\|24ff}}.
