Just as man has developed from a state similar to that of a plant, so too will he purify his instincts and desires to a higher, chaste level. The teacher showed the student the structures in the physical body of man through which the higher levels of consciousness can be attained and human substance can in turn become a substance similar to that of plants. Every being must use a physical body if it wants to appear on earth. But the body of man will change more and more in the future. We distinguish between a descending and an ascending development with regard to the human organs. Some human organs are in a state of descending development; in the course of time, which admittedly counts in millennia, the human being will discard them. Other organs are in the process of becoming; in the future they will undergo an upward development, for example the human larynx; it is only at the beginning of its development. The human heart will undergo a further upward development, becoming a completely different organ in the future. While other organs have already passed their zenith, becoming detached from human nature and withering away, we have an organ in the heart that is only at the beginning of its development.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IX.

So wie der Mensch sich aus einem Zustand heraufentwickelt hat, wie ihn die Pflanze hat, so wird er auch seine Instinkte und Begierden wiederum läutern zu einer höheren, keuschen Stufe. Der Lehrer zeigte dem Schüler die Anlagen im physischen Leibe des Menschen, durch welche die höheren Stufen des Bewußtseins errungen werden können und die menschliche Substanz wiederum zu einer der Pflanze ähnlichen Substanz werden kann. Ein jegliches Wesen muß einen physischen Leib benutzen, wenn es auf der Erde erscheinen will. Aber der Leib des Menschen wird sich in der Zukunft immer mehr und mehr umgestalten. Wir unterscheiden in bezug auf die menschlichen Organe eine absteigende und eine aufsteigende Entwickelung. Ein Teil der menschlichen Organe ist in absteigender Entwickelung; diese wird der Mensch im Laufe der Zeit, die allerdings nach Jahrtausenden zählt, abwerfen. Andere Organe sind im Werden, sie werden in der Zukunft eine Höherentwickelung haben, zum Beispiel der menschliche Kehlkopf; er ist erst im Anfange seiner Entwickelung. Eine andere Höherentwickelung wird das menschliche Herz nehmen, das in der Zukunft ein ganz anderes Organ werden wird. Während andere Organe ihren Höhepunkt bereits überschritten haben, sich abschnüren von der menschlichen Natur und verdorren, haben wir im Herzen ein Organ, das erst am Anfange seiner Entwickelung ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":220,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/101/1907-12-29/p014"}],"english":["GA 101/1907-12-29/p014"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":220,"en_words":228,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.07,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6715,"original_word_count":6277,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Myths and Legends, Occult Signs and Symbols","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA101/English/SOL2024/19071229p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
