This is based on a sympathetic relation towards certain things and an antipathetic one towards others. Man had to lose this direct connection with things in order to reach his present form of knowledge, but he will regain this connection upon a higher stage. What enables a modern occultist to know that the plant's blossom has another influence upon the human body than the root? And how does he know that the influence of an ordinary root differs from that of a carrot? Because these things speak to him, as they do to animals upon a lower stage. Animals do not have a conscious understanding of such things, but man will regain this direct connection with the substances and beings of the universe, upon the highest stages of consciousness.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XIV.

Wer sie erlangt hat, der hat zu allen Dingen der Welt ein intimes Verhältnis, wie es der Gegenwartsmensch nur kennt in dem mysteriösen Verhältnis der Liebe zwischen Mann und Weib, was auf einer geheimen Erkenntnis des Wesens des andern Menschen beruht. Ein solches Verhältnis, wodurch Sie nicht nur begreifen, sondern verbunden sich fühlen mit allen Wesen, so wie sich heute der Liebende mit der Geliebten verbunden fühlt, das kommt Ihnen bei dem Anschauen des Makrokosmos. Sie haben dann eine intime Beziehung, eine Art Liebesverhältnis zur Pflanze, zu jedem Stein, zu allen Wesen der Welt. Es spezialisiert sich Ihre Liebe zu allen Wesen; sie sagen Ihnen etwas, was sie Ihnen sonst nur sagen, wenn Sie noch nicht heruntergestiegen sind zur Erkenntnis. Das Tier frißt das, was ihm taugt, und läßt stehen, was ihm nicht taugt; es hat ein sympathisches Verhältnis zu dem einen, ein antipathisches Verhältnis zu dem andern. Der Mensch mußte, um die heutige Erkenntnis zu erringen, das unmittelbare Verhältnis zu den Dingen verlieren; aber er wird es auf einer höheren Stufe wieder erringen. Wodurch weiß heute der Okkultist, daß die Pflanze mit der Blüte anders auf den Menschen wirkt als die Wurzel? Wodurch weiß er, daß die gewöhnliche Wurzel anders wirkt als eine Möhre? Weil die Dinge wieder so zu ihm sprechen, wie es bei den Tieren der Fall ist. Dies intime Verhältnis ist auf den niederen Stufen unter Ausschluß des Verstandesbewußtseins da; auf den höchsten Stufen wird es der Mensch bewußt wiederum haben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":271,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-29/p029"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-29/p034","GA 100/1907-06-29/p035"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":271,"en_words":304,"ratio":1.12,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5823,"original_word_count":5685,"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/ANS1942/19070629p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
