Let us now consider a few more details. At that time men did not build houses such as they exist to-day, for they could utilize to a far greater extent the forces which existed in Nature. Masses of rock were moulded together with that which existed in the environment, and constituted dwelling places which resembled natural houses. The further back we go, the more we come across men endowed with clairvoyance and possessing an image-consciousness. In a visionary form, in pictures which rose up before their souls, they could see the feelings of those who lived round about them. In the early Atlantean epoch, even the human will presented quite a different aspect. To-day you can stretch out the finger of your hand through your will, and this action is connected with your thinking. But in the early Atlantean age the body was a far more supple mass. The Atlantean could not only stretch out his finger, but he could even make it longer or shorter; he could easily make his hand grow when he saw a small plant, he could make it grow through an effort of his will. He disposed of a kind of magic. He also had a strange connection with the animal world; he still perceived something which later on could no longer be perceived and he exercised a fascinating power over animals through his gaze.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"X.

Betrachten wir noch einige Einzelheiten. Damals baute man die Häuser nicht so wie heute, sondern man konnte in viel höherem Maße ausnutzen, was in der Natur selbst vorhanden war. Felsenmassen, die man durch Mitbenützung der dort befindlichen Bäume umgestaltet hatte, fügte man zusammen, so daß naturhaft wirkende Häuser die Wohnungen der Menschen waren. Immer mehr finden wir den Menschen mit Hellseherkraft begabt, je weiter wir zurückgehen; immer mehr treffen wir bei ihm ein Bilderbewußtsein. In Bildern sieht er visionär vor seiner Seele aufsteigen die Gefühle der Wesen, die um ihn herum sind. Auch der Wille ist in der ersten Zeit beim Atlantier noch ganz anders ausgebildet. Heute kann Ihr Wille die Finger spreizen; das ist etwas, was mit der heutigen Kraft der Vorstellung zusammenhängt. In der ersten atlantischen Zeit war der Körper noch eine viel weichere Masse. Der Atlantier konnte die Finger nicht nur ausstrecken, sondern auch länger oder kürzer machen; er hätte leicht seine Hand wachsen machen können. Wenn er eine Pflanze hatte, die klein war, konnte er durch eine Anstrengung seines Willens sie größer werden lassen. Ihm stand eine Art Magie zu Gebote. Auch hatte er ein eigentümliches Verhältnis zur Tierwelt: er nahm etwas wahr, was später nicht mehr wahrgenommen werden konnte. Mit seinem Blick konnte er eine faszinierende Gewalt über die Tiere ausüben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":226,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-25/p017"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-25/p025"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":226,"en_words":240,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.07,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3926,"original_word_count":3679,"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/ANS1942/19070625p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
