In addition to the earlier science of the Spirit, these nations also possessed a science of the physical world. An astrology and geometry arose in Egypt which taught the Egyptians how to treat and cultivate the earth. Science extended to spheres which the Hindoo still looked upon as a world of illusion. Now this world of illusion had become a world calling for the keenest thought, for a manner of thinking connected with physical things. When the Hindoo immersed himself in the starry world, this world was to him only the expression of the Godhead. But the Chaldean loved the physical World; to him it was a part of the Godhead into which he penetrated and immersed himself. This activity leading him from the divine into the physical world appears to us in the Babylonian-Assyrian culture.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XI.

Diese Völker haben neben der früheren Wissenschaft des Geistes jetzt schon eine Wissenschaft der irdischen Welt. Bei den Agyptern entstand eine Astrologie, eine Geometrie, durch die sie lernten, wie man die Erde behandelt und bebaut. Die Wissenschaft dehnte sich aus auf das, was der alte Inder noch als die Welt der Täuschung bezeichnete. Jetzt ist die Welt der Täuschung eine Welt des schärfsten Nachdenkens, sinnlichen Nachdenkens. Wenn der Inder sich in die Sternenwelt vertiefte, war sie ihm nur der Ausdruck des Geistigen. Der Chaldäer aber hatte eine Liebe für die körperliche Welt; sie war ihm das Glied der Gottheit, wo hinein man sich arbeitet, wo hinein man sich vertieft.
