Physical apparatuses constituted the first basis of man's physical body. Even as the emerald, the mica, etc, arise through physical laws and develop in the form of cubes, hexahedrons, etc, so at that time forms developed which resembled apparatuses and which existed upon Saturn in the same way in which crystals now exist upon the earth. The activity of Saturn's surface essentially consisted in a kind of reflection which went out into the universal space. The Beings in Saturn's environment who were scattered in the universal spaces sent down their influences. Something which we may call the “cosmic aroma” was also then strongly developed. Only a few phenomena of the present day may give you a feeling for what took place upon Saturn: for example, when you hear an echo in Nature, the sound of this echo can convey to you something which went streaming out of Saturn as the result of the impressions which it received. These conglomerations of forces resembling apparatuses which threw back pictures in the universal space, formed the first foundation of that which developed later on as the eye. In a similar way we might follow the development of everything else.

Alle Wesen, die sonst um uns herum sind, sind unvollkommener als der physische Menschenleib, der die längste Zeit brauchte, um sich zu entwickeln. Daher finden wir, wenn wir geistig schauend zurückblicken, die ersten Anlagen dazu schon im Saturnzustand vorhanden. Der ganze Weltenraum mit allen Wesen und Dingen, die darinnen waren, haben auf den ersten Zustand der Erde gewirkt. Sie haben noch alle die Organe in sich, die damals gebildet worden sind als das Vollkommenste unseres physischen Körpers; das sind die Sinnesorgane, die Apparate, die man rein physikalisch begreifen kann, die zunächst damals in der Anlage entstanden sind. Zwar dürfen Sie sich nicht vorstellen, daß das Auge schon damals so vorhanden war, wie es heute ist. Aber die erste Anlage zum Auge, zum Ohr, zu allen Sinnesorganen und zu allen sonst rein physikalischen Apparaten am Menschen ist auf dem Saturn entstanden. Nur jene Wirkungen gab es auf dem Saturn, die heute noch in dem Mineralreich herauskommen. DerMensch war damals in der ersten Anlage seines physischen Leibes vorhanden; alles andere, Blut, Gewebe und so weiter war nicht da. Als physikalische Apparate waren die ersten Anlagen zum Menschenleib vorhanden.

Und die Wirkungsweise der Saturnoberfläche war wesentlich die einer Art Spiegelung in den Weltenraum hinein. Die Wesen, die den Saturn umgaben, die im Weltenraum zerstreut sind, warfen ihre Wirkungen hinunter. Namentlich war damals auch stark ausgebildet, was man das Weltenaroma nennt. Ein Gefühl für das, was damals auf dem Saturn geschah, können Sie heute nur noch bei einigen Erscheinungen bekommen: wenn Sie in der Natur draußen ein Echo hören, würden Sie in dem Ton des Echos etwas haben, was auf dem Saturn hinausgeströmt wurde von den Eindrücken her, die auf ihn gewirkt hatten. Diese Apparate, die solche Bilder zurückwarfen in den Weltenraum, sind die erste Anlage zu dem, was sich später zum Beispiel als Auge ausgebildet hat. Und so könnten wir alles einzelne verfolgen. Was Sie heute im Leibe tragen, war damals ein physisches Reich des Saturn, das in mannigfaltiger Weise das ganze Weltbild zurückwarf in den Raum.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":401,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-24/p004"},{"locus":"GA 100/1907-06-24/p005","passage_number":5,"text":"Mythen und Sagen haben diese Erscheinung viel klarer erhalten, als man ahnt. So hat zum Beispiel die griechische Mythe, die noch entlehnt ist aus den Eleusinischen Mysterien, etwas bewahrt in dem Bilde des Zusammenwirkens von Kronos und Rhea, wobei nur eine große Verschiebung der Tatsachen vorgekommen ist durch die Art,wie damals die Weltenzusammenhänge gedacht waren. Es wird uns da gesagt, daß Kronos seinen Strahl hinunterwirft und er ihm in der mannigfaltigsten Weise wieder zurückkommt; daher jenes Bild: er verschlingt seine Kinder.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":81,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-24/p005"},{"locus":"GA 100/1907-06-24/p006","passage_number":6,"text":"Nun müssen Sie sich nicht vorstellen, daß die Saturnmasse so etwas Festes war wie die heutigen physischen Körper; selbst wenn Sie Wasser oder Luft nähmen, würden Sie noch keine Vorstellung bekommen von der Grundsubstanz des Saturn. Im Okkultismus redet man, wenn man von den Körpern redet, von den festen, den wasserförmigen, den luftförmigen Körpern. Wenn man im alten Stile von Elementen spricht, so entsprechen diese dem, was man heute in der Chemie Aggregatzustände nennt; Sie müssen nicht glauben, daß die Alten mit Elementen dasselbe gemeint haben wie wir. Dann aber gibt es noch einen höheren Aggregatzustand, den man im alten Okkultismus das «Feuer» nannte; man würde den Sinn besser treffen mit «Wärme». Auch die Physik wird gedrängt werden, anzuerkennen, daß das, was man Wärme nennt, sich wirklich vergleichen läßt mit einer Art vierten Aggregatzustands, einer andern Art Materie als Luft und Wasser. Also noch nicht einmal zur Luft verdichtet war die Saturnmasse; sie war geläuterte Wärme. Sie wirkte ähnlich wie heute die Wärme in Ihrem Blute wirkt, und sie war verknüpft mit inneren Lebensvorgängen, denn diese physikalischen Vorgänge waren wirkliche Lebensvorgänge. Aus Wärmestoff bestand der Saturn, eine ungeheuer feine Masse, die in bezug auf unsere Stoffe neutral genannt werden könnte.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":200,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-24/p006"},{"locus":"GA 100/1907-06-24/p007","passage_number":7,"text":"Wenn wir nun die Wesen betrachten wollen, die den Saturn bewohnten, müssen wir uns erstens klar sein, daß das, was heute auf der Erde herumwandelt, dort selbst die erste Anlage zum physischen Leibe war; ein Ich oder Astralleib war nicht darinnen. Andere Wesen aber, die heute viel höher sind als der Mensch, belebten den Saturn, nur gingen sie dort auch nicht in physischen Leibern herum: sie waren im Wärmestoff verkörpert, und sie wirkten wie ein Wärmestrom, der sich dahinbewegte. Solche Wärmeströmungen bildeten die Taten der Wesen, die den Saturn belebten. Wie Sie heute einen Tisch formen, so taten diese Wesen ihre Arbeit, indem sie Wärmeströmungen verursachten. Sonst war nichts von ihnen zu bemerken. Wie wenn sich zwei Wärmeströmungen hin und her bewegten und sich gegenseitig austauschten, so begrüßte man sich sozusagen auf dem Saturn. Die Wesen, die auf dem Saturn ihre Menschheitsstufe durchmachten, hatten nicht einen physischen Leib als ihr niederstes Glied; sie stiegen nicht so weit in die Materie hinab, daß sie einen physischen Leib nötig gehabt hätten. Ihr niederstes Glied war das Ich, wie Sie heute als niederstes Glied den physischen Leib haben; dann kam ihr Geistselbst oder Manas, ihr Lebensgeist oder Buddhi, der Geistesmensch oder Atma. Aber dafür hatten sie noch ein achtes, neuntes und zehntes Glied entwickelt, die wir also bei ihnen mit aufzählen müssen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":219,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-24/p007"},{"locus":"GA 100/1907-06-24/p008","passage_number":8,"text":"Die theosophische Literatur nennt diese Glieder, die der Mensch heute noch nicht entwickelt, die «drei Logoi»; im Christentum heißen sie: der Heilige Geist, der Sohn oder das Wort, und der Vater. Also kann man sagen: Wie der Mensch heute aus physischem Leib, Äther-, Astralleib und Ich, Geistselbst, Lebensgeist und Geistesmensch besteht, so bestanden diese Wesen, die den Saturn bewohnten, die wir mit dem heutigen Erdenmenschen in seinem Verhältnis zur Erde vergleichen können, aus dem Ich, Geistselbst, Lebensgeist, Geistesmensch, dem Heiligen Geist, dem Wort oder dem Sohn, und dem Vater. Die theosophische Sprache nennt sie «Asuras». Sie sind diejenigen, die von Anfang an dieser physischen Anlage des Menschenleibes eingepflanzt haben die Selbständigkeit, das Ich-Bewußtsein und Ich-Gefühl. Sie könnten Ihr Auge gar nicht im Dienste des Ich verwenden, wenn Ihre Anlage damals nicht schon so vorbereitet worden wäre, daß Sie sie in den Dienst des Ich stellen konnten. So sind diese Glieder vorbereitet worden durch die Geister des Ich — auch die Geister des Egoismus genannt. Sie haben uns gegeben, was das Weiseste ist, wenn es richtig ausgebildet wird. Aber alles Höchste wird in sein Gegenteil verkehrt, wirkt am schädlichsten und verderblichsten, wenn es nicht richtig ausgebildet wird. Niemals könnte der Mensch jene hohe Stufe erreichen, die wir als die selbständige Menschenwürde bezeichnen, wenn nicht diese Geister ihm das Ich-Gefühl eingepflanzt hätten. Immer hat es auch Wesen gegeben, welche die böse Bahn eingeschlagen haben. Daher muß gesagt werden: Diese Wesenheiten, welche die Einpflanzer der Ichheit waren, die heute weit über den Menschen erhaben sind, zu denen wir aufschauen als zu den erhabensten, die es geben kann, sie haben die Ichheit in den Dienst der Selbstverleugnung, des Opfers gestellt; die andern haben ihre Ichheit selbstsüchtig weiterverfolgt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":283,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-24/p008"}],"beads":[{"from":[5,6],"to":[4],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[7],"to":[5],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[8],"to":[6],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[9,10],"to":[7],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[11],"to":[8],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
