I need only indicate that following the first period, when the moon had separated from the earth and man descended, he was of a very different nature as regards his will power from what he became later. At that time the will of man worked magically—by his will he could work upon the growth of flowers. When he exerted his will he could make a flower shoot up quickly, a capacity which can only be acquired to-day by an abnormal process of development. Hence at that time the natural surroundings depended upon how the will of man was constituted. If it was good it worked soothingly upon the billowing waters, upon the storm and upon the fiery structures which were then all around, for the earth was to a great extent of a volcanic nature. Man worked soothingly upon all this through a good will and destructively through all evil will. Whole islands could be destroyed by evil will. Thus the human will was in complete correspondence with its environment. The tracts of land upon which man then lived were destroyed essentially by the evil will of man, and only a small part of mankind was saved (we have here to distinguish between race-development and soul-development) who lived on into the epoch which we may describe in so far as words can express clairvoyant perception.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":244,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/104/1908-06-23/p015","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1908-06-23","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 104/1908-06-23/p018","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/104/1908-06-23/p018"}],"bead_confidence":"high","length_check":{"de_words":254,"en_words":244,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

At that time man lived under very different physical conditions. At the beginning of the Atlantean epoch he was a structure which perceived in quite a different way from the present man; we have already indicated this in the first lecture and again later; to-day we shall again point out this different kind of vision of the man of that epoch. He still had a kind of spiritual vision, because the construction of his body was different from what it is now. The etheric body was not yet so firmly bound up with the physical body. The etheric body of the head extended far beyond the physical body. Only towards the last third of the Atlantean epoch did the projecting etheric body draw in and take the form of the present physical human head. Since the form of the ancient Atlantean was so very different from that of present man and his members so differently joined together, his whole life of consciousness, his whole soul life was also different. And here—if we wish to understand the Apocalyptist—we must touch upon a very important, but a very mysterious, chapter.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":223,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/104/1908-06-23/p016","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1908-06-23","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 104/1908-06-23/p019","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/104/1908-06-23/p019"},{"locus":"GA 104/1908-06-23/p020","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/104/1908-06-23/p020"}],"bead_confidence":"high","length_check":{"de_words":215,"en_words":223,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Nur hinzudeuten brauche ich, daß in der ersten Zeit, wo der Mond weg war von der Erde und der Mensch sich heruntersenkte, daß da der Mensch in bezug auf seine Willenskraft ganz anderer Natur war als später. Die Willenskraft des Menschen wirkte dazumal magisch. Der Mensch konnte durch seinen Willen auf das Wachstum der Blumen wirken. Wenn der Mensch seinen Willen anstrengte, konnte er eine Blume rasch in die Höhe schieBen lassen, eine Fähigkeit, die heute nur durch eine abnorme Entwickelungsprozedur zu erreichen ist. Daher war damals die ganze natürliche Umgebung abhängig davon, wie der Wille des Menschen beschaffen war. War er gut, so wirkte er besänftigend auf das Wogen der Wassermassen, auf den Sturm und auf die damals in weitem Umkreis herrschenden feurigen Gebilde, denn es war die Erde damals zum großen Teil vulkanischer Natur. Der Mensch wirkte besänftigend auf das alles durch einen guten, und zerstörend durch einen bösen Willen. Ganze Inseln konnten zerschlagen werden durch den bösen Willen. So war durchaus des Menschen Wille im Einklang mit seiner Umgebung. Im wesentlichen gingen die Ländermassen, in denen der Mensch damals gewohnt hat, durch den bösen Willen der Menschen zugrunde, und nur ein kleiner Teil der damaligen Menschen — hier müssen wir wieder zwischen Rassen- und Seelenentwickelung unterscheiden — rettete sich hinüber in den Zeitraum, den wir richtig beschreiben können, weil wir da aus unserer Sprache heraus Worte finden, die die hellscherische Wahrnehmung wiedergeben können.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":254,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/104/1908-06-23/p018"},{"locus":"GA 104/1908-06-23/p019","passage_number":19,"text":"Wir kommen nach dieser Katastrophe in die alte atlantische Zeit, in jene Zeit, in welcher sich das Menschengeschlecht im wesentlichen auf einem Kontinent entwickelte, der heute den Boden des Atlantischen Ozeans bildet, zwischen dem heutigen Europa und Amerika.
