But the blood does not only stream through the body because the heart pumps the blood through it; everything which constitutes the blood depends upon the soul; the blood pulses more or less quickly according to our feelings, and it is the blood which produces the movement of the heart. But in future the human being will have a conscious influence upon the heart; therefore the heart is an organ which is now at the beginning of its development. The heart is a muscle with a spiritual development, an organ through which the human being will be able to express himself as he develops towards a higher stage, thus exercising a creative influence upon his whole body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XI.

Und dann wird die Zeit kommen, wo der Mensch fähig sein wird, seinen Herzmuskel zu einem willkürlichen Muskel zu machen. Die Wissenschaft stellt Ihnen das Herz so dar, als ob es ein bloßer physischer Apparat, eine Pumpe sei. Aber das Blut strömt nicht nur durch den Leib, weil das Herz das Blut durchpumpt, sondern alles, was im Blute ist, hängt von der Seele ab. Das Blut pulsiert unter den verschiedenen Gefühlen schneller oder langsamer, und das Blut ist es, das die Herzbewegung hervorruft. Aber in der Zukunft wird der Mensch einen bewußten Einfluß auf das Herz gewinnen; daher ist das Herz ein Organ, das heute erst im Anfange seiner Entwickelung steht. Ein Muskel der geistigen Entwickelung ist das Herz, ein Organ, durch das der höher gestiegene Mensch sich zu seinem Ausdruck bringt und dadurch auf seinen ganzen übrigen Körper schöpferisch wirkt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":185,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-26/p031"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-26/p051","GA 100/1907-06-26/p052"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":185,"en_words":195,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.09,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5938,"original_word_count":5438,"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/ANS1942/19070626p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
