Unsere heutigen Tiere sehen wir geisteswissenschaftlich etwa in folgender Weise an: Vom Tiere unterscheidet sich der Mensch dadurch, daß er eine individuelle Seele hat; jeder Mensch hat seine individuelle Seele, sein individuelles Ich. Das ist nicht so beim Tier; da haben ganze Gruppen von Tieren eine Seele. Zum Beispiel alle Tiere, die zur Löwenart gehören, haben eine Seele, und die lebt in der Astralwelt. Ebenso haben alle Tiere, die Tigerart haben, eine Seele zusammen. Daher sprechen wir beim Tiere von Gruppenseelen. Alle Pferde zusammen haben eine Gruppenseele; die gehören zusammen. Wie die einzelnen Finger zur Hand, so verhalten sich die Tiere zu ihrer Gruppenseele. Daher können wir auch nicht von einer individuellen Verantwortlichkeit sprechen. Erst wenn eine individuelle Seele vorhanden ist, sprechen wir davon, daß eine Seele gut oder böse sein kann. Der Mensch der damaligen Zeit hatte noch eine Art Gruppenseele, die noch im Schoße der Gottheit lagerte. So daß wir uns klar sein müssen: was heute in uns lebt, gab es auch damals schon, aber nicht im Menschenkörper drinnen. Der Mensch hat seinen Ursprung in zwei Strömungen: Was vom Mond herübergekommen war und sich weiter ausgebildet hatte, war der Tiermensch da unten; aber was heute in Ihnen lebt als einzelne Seele, das war oben, bei der Gottheit, nur Ihr Leib war unten, im Urmeer.

Lungenatmung ist die Voraussetzung des warmen, roten Blutes. Und dann entstanden die nötigen Prozesse auf der Erde, die sich dem Blute eingliederten. So hat der Mensch sich allmählich entwickelt, daß er ein lungenatmendes, rotblütiges Wesen geworden ist, und dann die andern Geschöpfe, die niederen Warmblütler, zurückgelassen hat. Im Okkultismus werden die Tiere nicht bloß in der gewöhnlichen Art unterschieden, sondern wir nennen noch ein anderes Merkmal. Wir unterscheiden sie in innerlich tönende, solche, die eigenen Schmerz und Freude in Tönen zum Ausdruck bringen können, und in nichttönende. Wenn Sie heruntergehen zu niedereren Tieren, hören Sie zwar auch Töne, doch sind es nur äußerliche, die auf Aneinanderreiben von Organen oder auf äußerliche klimatische Einflüsse zurückzuführen sind; das Äußere tönt bei ihnen. Erst die Tiere, die sich damals abgezweigt haben, als der Mensch sich zu einem warmblütigen Wesen entwickelt hat, waren so, daß sie selbst ihren Schmerz und ihre Freude heraustönen konnten. Damals wurde ja auch des Menschen Kehlkopf zu einem tönenden Organ umgewandelt. Dadurch, daß außen die flüssige Erde sich umwandelte in eine Kruste, ging ein innerlicher Prozeß im Menschen vor sich: Parallel mit der äußerlichen Verfestigung bildete sich innerlich aus den weichen Teilen ein Knochen- und Knorpelskelett. Knochenwesen hat es früher nicht gegeben. Die äußeren Mineralien sind das Gegenbild zu den Knochen. Die Erde hat diese Epoche in den Felsmassen festgehalten; der Mensch hat sie in den Knochen. Immer mehr wird der Mensch jetzt aus einem in der waagrechten Haltung gehenden Wesen zu einem aufrechtgehenden.
