All these twelve singers form the first choir which enlivens in the earth the cosmic elements and thus brings about diversity in
earthly life.

The second choir enlivens the cosmic law on earth, so that nature can rise again to divine order.

The third choir enlivens the forces of knowledge on earth and thus raises the formation of free will of man to the status of divine wisdom.

The fourth choir enlivens on earth the all-creative forces and raises in this manner the free formation of manis conscience to blissful, divine omnipotence.

The fifth choir enlivens on earth the forces of feeling and raises in that manner earthly life into the light of pure self-awareness.

The sixth choir enlivens on earth the forces of reason and opens to earthly life the status of pure consciousness.

The seventh choir enlivens on earth the forces of the mind, thus guiding the earthly life to perfect harmony.

The eighth choir enlivens the cosmic winds on earth and thus brings about immortality for life on earth.

The ninth choir wins for the earth the forces of the mighty sages among man and raises in that manner life on earth to the state of freedom.

These nine choirs are structured in the same manner as the first choir that you have just seen; and the other four rings, which we will see further uphill, have the same structure as this first ring too.
