If one keeps to the physical alone, matters take their course in the way depicted by modern science, but the point is to learn to know the spiritual causes by which things have become what they are. Inside the primordial mist, the beings have themselves created the dwelling-places in which they could live. Now these various beings who were, so to say, harmoniously side by side before they had separated, did not remain without connection. On the contrary, they work through one another throughout. The influence of the Mercury and Venus beings on the earth is of a quite special interest. Put yourselves back into the time when the sun and then the moon released itself from the earth and man began his existence in his present form. He has acquired this existence in the present form through the fact that one of the Sun-Spirits forbore—if I may so express it—from continuing his existence on the sun, but united himself with the moon. In this way a lofty regent of the moon arose. Beings of a lower order existed on the moon, but one of the Sun-Spirits united himself with the moon-existence. This Sun-Spirit who is therefore really a displaced Sun-Spirit in the universe is, as divine, spiritual being, Yahve, Jehovah, the regent of the moon. We shall see why that came about if we consider the following.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"Spiritual Beings and Planetary Formation in Cosmic Evolution","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Sie haben daraus entnehmen können, daß, wenn man sich nur an das Physische hält, es ja so verläuft, wie es uns die heutige Wissenschaft erzählt; aber es handelt sich darum, die geistigen Gründe wirklich kennenzulernen, warum das so geworden ist. Innerhalb des Urnebels haben sich die Wesen selbst die Wohnungen geschaffen, in denen sie leben konnten. Nun sind diese verschiedenen Wesenheiten, die sozusagen einträchtig nebeneinander waren, solange sich noch nicht alles herausgespalten hatte, nicht ohne Zusammenhang geblieben, sondern sie wirken durchaus durcheinander. Von einem ganz besonderen Interesse ist die Wirkung der Merkur- und der Venuswesenheiten auf die Erde. Versetzen Sie sich zurück in die Zeit, in welcher die Sonne sich gerade herausspaltete aus der Erde, der Mond sich herausspaltete und der Mensch sein Dasein in der heutigen Form begann. Dieses Dasein in der heutigen Form hat der Mensch dadurch erlangt, daß sich einer der Sonnengeister herbeiließ — wenn ich mich so ausdrücken darf -, sein ferneres Dasein nicht auf der Sonne zu haben, sondern mit dem Mond sich zu verknüpfen. Dadurch entstand ein erhabener Regent vom Mond aus. Auf dem Monde waren sonst niedere Wesenheiten, aber einer der Sonnengeister verband sich mit dem Mondendasein. Dieser Sonnengeist, der mit dem Monde sich verband, der also eigentlich im Weltenall ein versetzter Sonnengeist ist, ist als göttliches Wesen, als geistiges Wesen «Jahve» oder «Jehovar, der Regent des Mondes. Wir werden einsehen, warum das geschehen ist, wenn wir uns der folgenden Überlegung hingeben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":258,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/102/1908-02-15/p022"}],"english":["GA 102/1908-02-15/p023"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":258,"en_words":248,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.94,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5879,"original_word_count":6223,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"AP1961","book_title":"The Influence of Spiritual Beings on Man","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA102/English/AP1961/19080215p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
