Upon the Moon there was a kingdom of plant-minerals, of animal-plants growing out of this vegetable-mineral soil, and then there were the animal-men moving about upon it. But upon each stage there are beings who remain behind—you may, if you like, say that they did not “pass”. This is the case not only at school, but also in the great course of development, where a pupil may have to repeat a class. These beings who did not “pass”, appear in future stages of development in very peculiar conditions. Such stragglers of the plant-minerals who did not “pass” still exist in parasites, for instance in the mistle-toe. It cannot grow upon mineral soil, because it was accustomed to grow upon a vegetable-mineral soil. It proves a fact resembling that of a pupil who did not move on to a higher form; except that the case of the beings who remain behind in the cosmic development is far worse. Particularly in the North we come across a myth which describes this; you are all acquainted with the northern myth of Baldur and his death through Loki.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IX.

Ein Reich von Pflanzenmineralien hatten wir, von Tierpflanzen, die aus dem Pflanzenmineralboden herauswuchsen, und dann Tiermenschen, die sich darauf herumbewegten. Auf jeder Stufe gibt es aber nun solche Wesen, die zurückbleiben; nennen Sie es meinetwegen sitzenbleiben. Nicht nur in der Schule, sondern auch in der großen Entwickelung gibt es so etwas wie ein Sitzenbleiben, wo ein Schüler noch einmal dieselbe Klasse durchmachen muß. Solche Sitzengebliebenen erscheinen in ganz merkwürdigen Verhältnissen in den späteren Entwickelungsstadien. Wir haben die sitzengebliebenen Nachzügler der Tierpflanzen in den Parasiten, zum Beispiel in der Mistel. Sie kann deshalb nicht in mineralischem Boden wachsen, weil sie gewohnt war, im Pflanzenmineralboden zu wachsen. Sie ist ein Zeugnis für das, was so etwas wie einen sitzengebliebenen Schüler darstellt; nur geht es den Wesen, die in der Weltentwickelung zurückbleiben, noch viel schlimmer. Das hat wiederum die Mythe gerade in den nördlichen Gegenden zum Ausdruck gebracht.
