This planet from which our earth arose can no longer be seen in the sky. But a fragment of that which once existed may be seen in the present Moon; the Moon is a fragment of the earth's predecessor. If you were to mix the present earth and the present moon and all the spiritual beings living upon them, you would more or less obtain an image of the earth's preceding incarnation, which the occultist designates as Moon. But you should bear in mind that this hypothesis is only advanced in order to make the process more comprehensible to you, yet like all hypotheses it is of course not quite correct. If we were to mix the present earth and the present moon, in the same way in which we mix two substances in a chemical laboratory, we would not by a long way obtain the ancient Moon . For we must consider that when earth and moon separated, these two celestial bodies each continued, their own development. The solid substance, for instance, which we call the mineral kingdom has only been formed since the present development of the earth. Before this development of the earth, there were no minerals in the present meaning.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VIII.

Dieser Planet, aus dem unsere Erde hervorgekommen ist, steht nicht mehr am Himmel. Aber ein Stück noch von dem, was einstmals war, ist der jetzige Mond; er stellt dar ein Stück von dem Vorgänger unserer Erde. Wenn Sie also die heutige Erde und den heutigen Mond und alles, was an geistigen Wesenheiten auf ihnen lebt, miteinander mischen würden, dann erhielten Sie ungefähr ein Bild der vorhergehenden Verkörperung der Erde, die der Okkultist Mond nennt. Nun müssen Sie bedenken, daß eine derartige Hypothese lediglich aufgestellt wird, um Ihnen den Vorgang in einer leichter verständlichen Weise begreiflich zu machen, daß sie aber, wie alle Hypothesen, selbstverständlich nicht ganz stimmt. Wenn jemand die heutige Erde und den heutigen Mond zusammenrühren würde, wie man etwa in einer Retorte im chemischen Laboratorium zwei Substanzen vermengt, dann würde in Wirklichkeit noch lange nicht der damalige Mond entstehen. Denn Sie müssen dabei wohl bedenken, daß seit dem Moment, wo sich Erde und Mond voneinander getrennt haben, sich beide Weltenkörper, jeder in seiner Art, seit dieser Zeit weiterentwickelt haben. So hat sich zum Beispiel in diesem Erdenkörper seit Beginn dieser unserer heutigen Erdenentwickelung erst das herausgeformt, was wir die feste Substanz, das Mineralreich nennen. Mineral im heutigen Sinn gab es vor Beginn unserer Erdenentwickelung nicht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":217,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-23/p032"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-23/p042"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":217,"en_words":212,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.08,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5666,"original_word_count":5259,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"ANS1942","book_title":"Theosophy and Rosicrucianism","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA100/English/ANS1942/19070623p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
