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. What you now have within your body, was once upon Saturn a physical kingdom, which sent out into the world's spaces the reflection of the whole cosmos in a manifold manner.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IX.

Das vollkommenste Wesen ist nun der Mensch, und zunächst der physische Menschenleib. 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. Wie der Smaragd, Glimmer und so weiter durch physikalische Gesetze entstehen und sich ausbilden als Würfel, Hexaeder und so weiter, so bildeten sich apparatartige Gestalten aus, die so auf dem Saturnkörper vorhanden waren wie heute die Kristalle im Erdkörper. 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"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-24/p005","GA 100/1907-06-24/p006"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":401,"en_words":479,"ratio":1.19,"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.
