You will therefore hear the description of a course of development which greatly deviates from the Haeckel-Darwin theory of evolution, but the advantages of this purely materialistic theory may be gathered from my book, “Haeckel, the Riddles of the World and Theosophy”.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IX.

Heute möchte ich Ihnen, so wie es im Okkultismus üblich ist, diese aufeinanderfolgenden Zustände beschreiben. Sie werden dann, wenn wir über die Entwickelung der Seele auf dem Erkenntnispfad sprechen, von manchem, was heute hypothetisch hingestellt wird, sehen, wie es gemeint ist. Wenn wir nun ohne weiteres eingehen auf den Saturnzustand, also jenen Millionen und Millionen Jahre vor unserer Zeit liegenden Zustand unserer Erde, so nimmt sich dieser ganz anders aus, als nach unseren heutigen physikalischen Verhältnissen angenommen wird. Vor allem müssen wir uns klar sein, daß das vollkommenste Wesen, das wir kennen, der Mensch selbst, die längste Reihe der Entwickelung hinter sich hat. Sie werden also eine Entwickelungsgeschichte hören, von der man sagen könnte, sie weicht sehr weit ab von der Haeckel-Darwinschen Entwickelungsgeschichte. Die Vorzüge vor dieser rein materialistischen Theorie werden Sie ja in meinem Buche ersehen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":166,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-24/p003"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-24/p003","GA 100/1907-06-24/p004"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":166,"en_words":188,"ratio":1.13,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.09,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4487,"original_word_count":4115,"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/ANS1942/19070624p02.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
