Let us recall how it was in the later Atlantean period. We have described how the ether head sank into the physical body and how at that time people developed the rudimentary capacity for saying “I AM” to themselves. When the Atlantean Flood occurred, the human physical body was permeated by the power of the “I AM;” this means that human progress had advanced far enough to have prepared the physical instrument for the ego or for self-consciousness. By this we understand quite clearly that if we were to go back into the middle of the Atlantean period, we should find no human being in the position to develop a self-consciousness in which it was possible for him to speak the words, “I am an I” or “I AM,” out of himself. That could only occur after that part of the ether head, of which we have spoken, has united with the physical part of the head. Up to the time of the submersion of Atlantis by the Flood, the human being had developed the rudiments of the physical brain, which was to become the bearer of this self-consciousness, and the germs of the other configurations of his physical body. Up to the time of the Atlantean Flood, the physical body was being made ready to be the bearer of the ego. We may ask: What was the mission of Atlantis? It was to implant the ego in the human being, to imprint it upon him, and this mission then reached out beyond the Flood—described as the Deluge—over into our age. In our post-Atlantean epoch, however, something else had to enter; gradually and by degrees, Manas or Spirit-Self had to enter into the human being. The influence of Manas or Spirit-Self begins with our post-Atlantean age. We know that after we have passed through various embodiments in our sixth or seventh epochs, Manas or Spirit-Self will have overshadowed us to a certain degree. But a longer preparation is needed for the human being to become a fit instrument for this Manas or Spirit-Self. Before that, he will first have to become a true bearer of the “I” or ego, even though it take thousands of years. He will not only have to make his physical body an instrument for the ego, but the other members of his being as well.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":415,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p005","unit_kind":{"kind":"second_lecture_same_day","base_unit":"GA 103/1908-05-30","note":"Another lecture given on the same date as 1908-05-30; the suffix only separates two lectures of one day."},"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1908-05-30_02","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-30_02/p006","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p006"},{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-30_02/p007","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p007"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 103/1908-05-30_02/p006","GA 103/1908-05-30_02/p007"],"length_check":{"de_words":384,"en_words":415,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Usually only seven members are to be distinguished. The fourth member which we summarize under the name “Ego,” we must again divide, because in human evolution it is thus divided.

In the culture of the ancient Persian epoch, the ego had sunk into the Soul Body. In that of the Assyrian-Babylonian-Chaldean-Egyptian epoch, the ego mounts into the Sentient Soul. You inquire, what is the Sentient Soul? It is the means by which the sensitory human being directs himself outwardly, whereby the perceiving human being by means of his eyes and other senses becomes aware of the ruling spirit in outer nature. Consequently in that epoch, the eyes were directed toward the material things spread out in space, toward the stars and their courses. What was spread out externally in space acted upon the Sentient Soul. In the Egyptian-Chaldean-Assyrian-Babylonian period, very little existed as yet of what can be called an inner, personal and intellectual human culture. We of the present can no longer really imagine what constituted the Egyptian Wisdom of that epoch. It was, in fact, not at all a matter of thinking, a matter of speculation as was the case later on; but when the Egyptian turned his glance toward the outer world, he inwardly experienced the law which he read in the physical world with the physical senses. It was a reading of the laws, a science of perception, a science of feeling, not a science of concepts. If our scholars would only reflect—I am using a harsh expression—then all that has just been said would be pointed out to them, as it were, with fingers, with spiritual fingers. For if the Egyptian did not think with the true, inner forces of the intellect, that means nothing more nor less than that there could not have been, at that time, a real science of thought or of logic. It is true, there was none. History points out to you that the real founder of logic was Aristotle. If there had previously been a logic, a science of thought, it would have been possible to inscribe it in a book. A logic, which is in itself a process of reflection in the ego, in which ideas are united and separated within the ego, in which one forms judgments logically and does not gather them from the things themselves, first appeared in the fourth cultural epoch. Therefore we call this fourth epoch the epoch of the Intellectual Soul, and we ourselves are now in the epoch of the appearance of the ego in the Consciousness Soul. Humanity entered into this epoch about the middle of the Middle Ages, beginning with the 1oth, 11th, and 12th Centuries. It came as late as that.

At that time a very definite concept was implanted in mankind, the concept of individual freedom, of individual ego-capacity. If you consider the early part of the Middle Ages, you will still find everywhere that the value of the individual, in a certain sense, depended upon his position in the community. A person inherited his standing, his rank and position from his father and his kinsmen, and in accordance with these impersonal things, which are not consciously connected with the ego, he acted and worked in the world. Only later, when commerce expanded and inventions and modern discoveries were made, did the ego-consciousness begin to extend itself, and we can see arising everywhere in the European world the external reflection of this Consciousness Soul in very definite forms of municipal government, municipal constitution, etc. From the history of this city of Hamburg, for example, it can easily be proven how these things have developed historically. What in the Middle Ages was called the “free city” is the external counterpart of this breathing of the ego-conscious soul through humanity. And if we now allow our glance to sweep into the future, we may say: We are now about to develop this personal consciousness within the Consciousness Soul. All the demands of the modern age are nothing but the demands of the Consciousness Soul which mankind is unconsciously expressing. But when we look still further into the future, we see spiritually something else. The human being then rises in the next cultural epoch, to Manas or Spirit-Self. That will be a time when men will possess a common Wisdom in a very much greater degree than at present; they will be, as it were, immersed in a common Wisdom. This will be the beginning of the feeling that the innermost kernel of the human being is at the same time the most universal. What is looked upon as the possession of the individual, in the present sense of the word, is not yet so on a higher plane. At present there is a notion, closely linked with the individuality, with the human personality, that human beings must contend with one another, must have different opinions. Men say: if we could not have different opinions we would not be independent human beings. Just because they wish to be independent, they must hold different opinions. That, however, is an inferior point of view. Men will be most peaceful and harmonious when they, as separate persons, become most individualized. As long as men are not yet fully overshadowed by Spirit-Self there will be opinions which differ from each other. These opinions are not yet experienced in the true, innermost part of their being.

Men agree upon these mathematical truths at present everywhere, because they are the most elementary truths.

Were personal opinions still to come into consideration in simple mathematical truths, many housewives might then, perhaps, agree that 2x2=5 and not 4. For those who see more deeply into the nature of things, it is quite impossible to disagree about their higher nature; there is only one possibility for those who disagree: that of developing themselves to perceive more deeply.

Jetzt aber sind wir uns darüber klar: Es wird eine sehr wichtige Kulturepoche sein, diese sechste; denn sie wird durch gemeinsame Weisheit Frieden und Brüderlichkeit bringen. Friede und Brüderlichkeit dadurch, daß sich dann nicht bloß für einzelne auserlesene Menschen, sondern für den in normaler Entwickelung stehenden Teil der Menschen hineinsenkt das höhere Selbst, zunächst in seiner niederen Form, als Geistselbst oder Manas. Eine Verbindung des menschlichen Ich, wie es sich so allmählich herangebildet hat, mit dem höheren Ich, mit dem einenden Ich wird dann stattfinden. Wir können das eine geistige Ehe nennen - und so nannte man auch immer in der christlichen Esoterik die Verbindung des menschlichen Ich mit dem Manas oder dem Geistselbst. Aber die Dinge hängen in der Welt tief zusammen, und der Mensch kann nicht von sich aus sozusagen die Hand ausstrecken und dieses Manas oder Geistselbst herbeiziehen; sondern noch eine viel höhere Entwickelungsstufe wird er erreichen müssen, damit er sich in bezug auf diese Dinge selber helfen könne.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":175,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p018"},{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-30_02/p019","passage_number":19,"text":"Damit überhaupt das geschehen könne, daß der Mensch sich in der nachatlantischen Zeit vereinige mit dem höheren Ich, mußte der Menschheitsentwickelung Hilfe kommen. Wenn irgend etwas erreicht werden soll, muß es vorbereitet werden. Wenn ein Kind mit dem fünfzehnten Jahre etwas werden soll, muß man ja auch schon vom sechsten, siebenten Jahre darauf hinarbeiten. Überall muß eine Entwickelung ihre Impulse vorbereiten. Was mit der Menschheit im sechsten Zeitraum geschehen soll, mußte langsam vorbereitet werden. Es mußte von außen die Gewalt und die Kraft kommen zu dem, was dann im sechsten Zeitraum mit der Menschheit geschehen soll.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":96,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p019"},{"locus":"GA 103/1908-05-30_02/p020","passage_number":20,"text":"Die erste Vorbereitung war eine noch ganz von außen aus dem Geistigen heraus wirkende, eine solche, die noch nicht heruniergestiegen war in die physische Welt. Das wird uns angedeutet durch die große Mission des hebräischen Volkes. Als Moses, der in die ägyptischen Mysterien Eingeweihte, von der geistigen Weltenleitung jenen Auftrag bekam, den wir charakterisieren konnten mit den Worten: «Sage ihnen als meinen Namen, wenn du ihnen meine Gesetze sagst, ich bin der «Ich-bin»» (2. Mose 3, 14), da war ihm mit diesen Worten aufgetragen: Bereite sie vor, indem du auf den gestaltlosen, unsichtbaren Gott hindeutest. Weise darauf hin, daß - während der Vater-Gott noch in dem Blute wirkt - für diejenigen, die es verstehen können, vorbereitet wird das «Ich-bin», das dann bis in den physischen Plan hinuntersteigen soll! - Das wurde sozusagen innerhalb der dritten Kulturepoche veranlagt. Und aus dem hebräischen Volke sehen wir die Mission entströmen, den Gott der Menschheit zu übermitteln, der dann tiefer heruntersteigt, der im Fleische erscheint. Vorher ist er verkündigt worden, nachher ist er für das äußere Auge im Fleische erschienen. Damit ist im rechten Sinne zum Ausdruck gekommen, was durch Moses vorbereitet worden war.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":190,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/103/1908-05-30_02/p020"}],"beads":[{"from":[5],"to":[6,7],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[6],"to":[8],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[7,8,9],"to":[9],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[10],"to":[10,11,12],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[11],"to":[13,14,15],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[12],"to":[16,17,18],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[13,14],"to":[19,20],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
