The more correct division, as you know, is physical, etheric, astral bodies, then the three soul-forces in which the ego emerges—sentient soul, intellectual or mind soul, consciousness soul—and that only then we have spirit-self or Manas, life-spirit or Budhi, spirit-man or Atma. Thus the soul-element is inserted as sentient soul, intellectual soul, consciousness soul. If we follow man's evolution on the Earth we can say that to the three constituents brought over from the Moon, the first development to be added was the sentient soul, then arose the intellectual soul, and not till towards the end of Atlantean times, when man learnt for the first time to say “I” to himself, did the consciousness-soul arise. Since then man can begin to work consciously from within upon the members of his being. If we divide man thus into body, soul, spirit, then we have to divide the soul again into sentient soul, intellectual soul, consciousness soul. These evolved gradually, and the consciousness soul could as yet have no influence, for it arose only as the last. These members had therefore to be kindled from without, and beings from outside were active. Mars in fact worked on the sentient soul, the already-separated Mercury with its beings worked on the origin of the intellectual soul, and Jupiter, which had been in existence the longest, worked on the origin of the consciousness soul.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":257,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/102/1908-02-15/p027","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1908-02-15","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 102/1908-02-15/p026","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/102/1908-02-15/p026"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":278,"en_words":257,"ratio":0.92,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

But these things are not investigated on logical grounds, but by investigating the facts of the spiritual worlds. There you would perceive it as a fact that the consciousness soul is kindled by Jupiter beings, to whose help come, on the other hand, laggard Venus beings. Things cannot be fitted into an external scheme in the activity of the cosmos; one must realize that when a planet has already fulfilled a task, its beings can later fulfill another task as well. In the course of the second race of humanity Jupiter beings co-operated on the perfecting of the etheric body; then they themselves advanced a stage, and when the human being was far enough on for his consciousness soul to develop, they had to intervene again and help in its development.

Sie wissen, daß die richtigere Einteilung diese ist: Physischer Leib, Ätherleib, astralischer Leib, und daß wir dann, das, worin das Ich aufgeht, unterscheiden als Empfindungsseele, Verstandes- oder Gemütsseele und Bewußtseinsseele, und daß wir darin erst das Geistselbst oder Manas haben, dann den Lebensgeist oder Buddhi, und zuletzt den Geistesmenschen oder Atman. Das Seelenhafte des Menschen erscheint also eingeschaltet als Empfindungsseele, Verstandesseele und Bewußtseinsseele. Wenn wir die Entwickelung des Menschen auf der Erde verfolgen, so können wir auch sagen: Es entwickelt sich zuerst zu den drei Bestandteilen, die vom Monde herübergebracht werden, die Empfindungsseele hinzu, dann entsteht die Verstandesseele, und die Bewußtseinsseele entsteht im Grunde genommen erst gegen das Ende der atlantischen Zeit, als der Mensch zum erstenmal lernte, «Ich» zu sich zu sagen. Da erst kann der Mensch lernen, bewußt von innen heraus an den Gliedern seiner Wesenheit zu arbeiten. Wenn wir also den Menschen einteilen in Leib, Seele und Geist, so haben wir die Seele wiederum einzuteilen in Empfindungs-, Verstandes- und Bewußtseinsseele. Die entwickeln sich erst nach und nach; die Bewußtseinsseele kann noch keinen Einfluß haben, denn sie entsteht erst als das letzte. So müssen diese Glieder auch wieder von außen angefacht werden. Dabei sind nun wieder Wesenheiten von außen tätig, und zwar ist es so, daß der Mars mit seinen Wesenheiten auf die Empfindungsseele wirkt. Als die Verstandesseele entstehen soll, ist der Merkur schon abgespalten und wirkt mit seinen Wesenheiten auf die Entstehung der Verstandesseele, und der längst vorhandene Jupiter wirkt auf die Entstehung der Bewußtseinsseele.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":278,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/102/1908-02-15/p026"},{"locus":"GA 102/1908-02-15/p027","passage_number":27,"text":"So haben Sie also in dem Seelischen des Menschen die Tätigkeit der drei Weltkörper: das Walten des Mars in der Empfindungsseele, des Merkur in der Verstandesseele, des Jupiter in der Bewußtseinsseele; und indem das Geistselbst in die Bewußtseinsseele hineingedrängt wird, ist die Venus mit ihren Wesenheiten tätig. Für die ersten Eingeweihten ist auch wieder der Merkur tätig, so daß also die Merkurwesen eine zweifache Tätigkeit ausüben: zunächst eine dem Menschen ganz unbewußte, indem sie seine Verstandesseele entwickeln; sodann sind sie die ersten Lehrer der Eingeweihten, wobei sie auf eine ganz bewußte Art wirken. Die Merkurwesen haben also stets eine doppelte Tätigkeit, etwa so wie manche Landlehrer die Kinder unterrichten und außerdem den ihnen zugeteilten Acker bebauen müssen.

Da würden Sie in der Tat sehen, daß die Bewußtseinsseele angefacht wird von den Jupiterwesen, denen auf der anderen Seite zurückgebliebene Venuswesenheiten zu Hilfe kommen. Im kosmischen Wirken ist es so, daß die Dinge nicht äußerlich-schematisch genommen werden dürfen, sondern man muß sich klar sein, daß wenn ein Planet einmal schon eine Aufgabe erfüllt hat, seine Wesenheiten später noch eine andere Aufgabe erfüllen können. Während der Menschheit der zweiten Menschenrasse haben die Jupiterwesenheiten mitgewirkt an der Ausbildung des Ätherleibes; dann gingen sie selbst ein Stück Wegs weiter, und als der Mensch so weit war, daß sich seine Bewußtseinsseele entwickeln konnte, mußten sie wiederum eingreifen und seine Bewußtseinsseele mitentwickeln.
