Particularly in regard to the “cosmic aroma” these retarded beings mixed into it sensations which provoked all kinds of evil smells. Myths have retained a recollection of this, for they relate that the Devil leaves behind an evil smell. As it progressed, the Sun really left behind a dark part, and the sun-spots which are visible now, are the remnants of the ancient Saturn kingdom which once existed upon the Sun. Hypothetically these spots should be explained exactly as we explain them now; for all these explanations are valid.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IX.

Solche Erscheinungen, die heute nur in gewissen Gegenden unserer Erdoberfläche wahrzunehmen sind, würden Ihnen versinnlichen können, wie die Pflanzenleiber damals sichtbar geworden sind. Sie müssen sich vorstellen, daß Ihre eigenen Leiber fatamorganartige Vorgänger hatten, durch die ein heutiger Körper einfach hindurchgehen kann. Sie waren so fein wie Luftspiegelungen, aber es war das nicht nur eine LichtFata Morgana, sondern zu gleicher Zeit Ton- und Geruchswirkungen, die den Sonnengasball durchschwirrten. Während nun alle Wesenheiten, die auf der Sonne waren, leuchtend waren, wie heute alles, was Fixstern ist, wirkte das alte Saturnreich derjenigen Wesenheiten, die zurückgeblieben waren, wie ein dunkler Einschluß, wie finstere Stellen dem Licht gegenüber, wie dumpfe Höhlen innerhalb des Sonnenleibes, die seine Harmonie störten. Namentlich in bezug auf das Weltenaroma mischten sich von den zurückgebliebenen Wesenheiten Empfindungen ein, die allerlei Mißgerüche verbreiteten. Das hat unsere Mythe behalten, indem sie sagt, daß der Teufel stinkt und einen bösen Geruch zurückläßt. Bei dem Fortschritt der Sonne ist wirklich auch ein dunkler Einschluß zurückgeblieben, und die heutigen Sonnenflecken sind wirklich die Nachzügler des alten Saturnreiches auf der Sonne. Deshalb sind sie aber hypothetisch genau doch so zu erklären, wie es heute geschieht; das gilt alles.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":243,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-24/p011"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-24/p017","GA 100/1907-06-24/p018"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":243,"en_words":252,"ratio":1.04,"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.
