Between the eyebrows there is a point which constitutes a centre for certain forces and streams of the etheric body, and this corresponds to a definite point in the physical brain. These two points must coincide; on this depends the capacity of being able to experience oneself as an Ego, to calculate, combine, etc. In the case of idiots, f0r instance, these points in the head do not coincide, and when this is the case, man's power of judgment no longer functions properly. In the case of the Atlanteans these points did not coincide, and this is still the case to-day with animals. If you observe the head of a horse you will find that these two points are far apart.

The Atlantean still possessed dull clairvoyance, but he was, for instance, unable to count up to five. All his judgments were based on his capacity of remembering incredibly distant times. And that old clairvoyance appeared as the enhancement of our present dream-life. Imagine the highest enhancement of this dream-life: this would lead you to the conceptual capacity, to the ancient, dull, dream-like clairvoyance of the Atlantean. When the Atlantean walked over the earth; he could indeed see the human beings in their physical involucres more or less as we see them to-day, but this perception had in a certain way a misty and foggy outline. The Atlantean could, however, perceive something which we cannot perceive. When we meet someone today, we do not see anything special of his inner being, we can only see what his features reveal to us; a gloomy expression will tell us that he is sad and will enable us to guess something of his state of mind. But when an Atlantean encountered someone who had evil intentions towards him, a brown-red vision rose up before him, and if that person loved him he saw a blue-red vision. A kind of colour vision harmonized with the psychological state of the other person; the Atlantean could still perceive something of what took place in the inner being of other men. An Atlantean walking along, who saw a terrible red-brown fog rising up before him, ran away, for he knew that a dangerous animal was approaching (perhaps it was still far away), one that would surely devour him.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":279,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/100/1907-06-25/p016","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1907-06-25","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 100/1907-06-25/p011","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-25/p011"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":256,"en_words":279,"ratio":1.09,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Logik, Urteilsvermögen, das alles war dem Atlantier noch völlig fremd. Dafür hatte der Atlantier eine Eigenschaft der Seele, die heute beträchtlich zurückgegangen ist, nämlich ein schier unbegreifliches Gedächtnis. So rechnen, daß er nach der Regel gelernt hätte: zwei mal zwei ist vier, und aus seinem Urteil heraus diese Rechnung immer wieder vollzogen hätte, das gab es nicht. Aber er konnte sich das, was es gibt, wenn man zwei mal zwei zusammenlegt, merken und sich immer wieder daran erinnern. Das hängt nun zusammen mit einer völlig andern physischen Beschaffenheit jenes alten Kontinentes selber. Wenn Sie sich diesen Kontinent seiner physischen Beschaffenheit nach vorstellen wollen, bekommen Sie am besten ein Bild davon, wenn Sie an ein Gebirgstal denken, das von dichten Wasserdämpfen und Nebelmassen angefüllt ist. Es gab für den Atlantier niemals eine wasserfreie Luft. Die Luft war immer geschwängert mit Wasser. Die alten Atlantier haben sich die Erinnerung daran erhalten, als sie nach Europa herüberkamen; daher nennen sie das Land, in welchem die Vorfahren lebten, Niflheim. Erst gegen das Ende des letzten Drittels der atlantischen Zeit fingen die Menschen an, gewahr zu werden, daß sie ein Ich sind. Die Anlage dazu war schon längst vorhanden und ein gewisses Gefühl davon auch. Aber klar und deutlich aussprechen: Ich bin ein Ich -, das lernte man erst im letzten Drittel der atlantischen Zeit. Dies hängt zusammen mit dem Verhältnis des Ätherleibes zum physischen Leibe. Wenn Sie diese beiden Leiber betrachten, sehen Sie, daß sie sich ungefähr decken, nur ragt der Ätherleib etwas über den physischen Leib hinaus. Es gibt nun zwischen den Augenbrauen eine Stelle, die ein Mittelpunkt für gewisse Kräfte und Strömungen des ÄÄtherleibes ist. Zu ihm gehört nun hinzu ein ganz bestimmter Punkt im physischen Gehirn, Beide müssen sich decken, und darauf beruht die Fähigkeit, sich als ein Ich zu empfinden; darauf beruht auch die Fähigkeit, zu rechnen, kombinieren zu können und so weiter. Bei den Idioten zum Beispiel ist die Berührung dieser Punkte im Kopf nicht vorhanden, da decken sie sich nicht. In dem Augenblick, wo sie auseinanderfallen, ist die Urteilskraft des Menschen nicht mehr ordentlich vorhanden. Bei dem Atlantier war es noch das Normale, daß diese beiden Punkte auseinanderlagen. So ist es heute noch bei den Tieren; wenn Sie den Pferdekopf ansehen, finden Sie beide Punkte noch weit auseinanderliegend. Bei dem Atlantier ragte der Ätherkopf hervor, und der physische Kopf hatte eine zurückliegende Stirn.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":412,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-25/p010"},{"locus":"GA 100/1907-06-25/p011","passage_number":11,"text":"Dafür aber hatte der Atlantier noch etwas anderes, das allerdings mit der Eingliederung des physischen Leibes in den Ätherleib wieder verlorenging. Er hatte noch ein altes, dumpfes Hellsehen entwickelt, während er wirklich nicht bis fünf zählen konnte. Alles Urteilen, das er hatte, kam ihm aus seinem Erinnerungsvermögen an unglaublich ferne Zeiten. Und jenes alte Hellsehen stellte sich dar als eine gewisse Steigerung unseres gegenwärtigen Traumlebens. Denken Sie sich dieses Traumleben aufs höchste gesteigert, dann würden Sie zu dem Anschauungsvermögen, zu dem alten dumpfen, traumhaften Hellsehen des Atlantiers aufsteigen. Wenn der Atlantier durch das Land ging, sah er zwar schon den Menschen innerhalb seiner physischen Grenzen, so ungefähr wie wir ihn heute sehen, aber das war in gewisser Beziehung noch nebelhaft verschwommen; er sah aber noch etwas anderes. Wenn Sie heute einem Menschen begegnen, sehen Sie nichts Besonderes von seinem Innenwesen, nur was seine Miene ausdrückt: ist seine Miene finster, so schließen Sie auf sein Traurigsein und können daraus etwas von seiner Seele erraten. Wenn aber der Atlantier einem Menschen begegnete, der etwas Arges gegen ihn im Sinne hatte, tauchte ihm zum Beispiel eine braunrote Vision auf; wenn jener ihn liebte, eine bläulichrote Vision. Eine Art Farbenvision stimmte mit dem Seelenzustand des andern überein; man sah noch etwas von dem, was im Inneren des Menschen sich zutrug. Wenn der Atlantier ging und es tauchte vor ihm ein fürchterlich rotbrauner Nebel auf, so lief er davon, denn er wußte: da kommt - es war vielleicht noch meilenweit weg — ganz bestimmt ein gefährliches Tier, das mich fressen will.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":256,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-25/p011"}],"beads":[{"from":[13,14,15],"to":[10],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[16],"to":[11],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
