If we follow the Atlantean evolution we find that the etheric body was still outside the head. That disposition in man due to the etheric is called in the language of the Apocalyptic mysteries “head.” This, therefore, refers to what is seen by clairvoyant vision chiefly as a head. But that which is brought about physically in man through some part of the etheric body is called a “horn.” Thus in the language of the mysteries a horn is a very mysterious thing. For example, that which has been brought about physically in man through his having passed through that race of the Atlantean epoch in which the lion was the typical group-soul, is called a horn. Thus the physical part which comes from some member of the etheric body is called a horn. A horn is the organ which is the external physical expression for something etheric. I will now speak to you in a concrete manner. All the physical organs of man are really densified etheric organs, they have proceeded from the condensed etheric body. Let us consider the human heart; to-day it is a physical organ, but it has condensed from an etheric organ. This present human heart received its rudiments when man went through the group-soul nature designated as the lion. Thus the heart is the horn of the lion head, for when the etheric body had progressed so far that man appeared with the group-soul symbolized by the lion's head, the rudimentary foundations were formed for that which later developed into the human heart. From this germ of the lion-man originated the present human physical heart. While, therefore, we trace back the origin of the etheric body to the changing of one head into another, to the addition of one head to another, we understand the human physical body as the addition of one horn to another. The human etheric body actually consists of “heads,” the human physical body of “horns.” That is the language of the mysteries. All the organs of man have developed out of the etheric body, they are, therefore, nothing but horns.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture IX","site_heading":"Human Evolution and the Spiritualized Earth's Future Form","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.

Jetzt sind sie die Widersacher; vorher, in der Zeit der Vorbereitung, waren sie in der richtigen Zeit. So sehen wir, daß, wie damals aus dem physischen, jetzt aus dem astralischen Meer aufsteigt — die Sonne ist auch astralisiert — das Ungeheuer mit den sieben Köpfen, das siebenköpfige Tier. Alles dasjenige, was im Menschen veranlagt wird durch den ätherischen Leib — bitte das zu beachten -, das nennt man in der Mysteriensprache, der sich auch der Apokalyptiker bedient, einen «Kopf» oder ein Haupt, weil es eine solche typische Hauptgestalt wie den Löwenkopf hervorruft, wenn man es hellseherisch sieht. Daran müssen wirken die ätherischen Kräfte. Wenn wir die atlantische Entwickelung verfolgen, so war da der Ätherleib noch außerhalb des Kopfes. Das, was vom Ätherischen aus im Menschen veranlagt wird, nennt man in der Sprache der apokalyptischen Mysterien «Kopf». Damit meint man also das, was dem hellseherischen Blick vorzugsweise als Kopf erscheint. Dasjenige aber, was physisch im Menschen bewirkt wird durch irgendein Glied des Ätherleibes, das nennt man ein «Horn». Ein «Horn» ist in der Sprache der Mysterien also eine sehr geheimnisvolle Sache. Dasjenige, was zum Beispiel im Menschen physisch bewirkt worden ist dadurch, daß er einmal durchgegangen ist durch diejenige Rasse der atlantischen Zeit, in welcher typisch der Löwe als Gruppenseele da war, das nennt man ein Horn. Also das Physische, das von irgendeinem Glied des Ätherleibes herkommt, nennt man ein «Horn».

Alle physischen Organe des Menschen sind eigentlich verdichtete Ätherorgane, sind aus dem verdichteten Ätherleib hervorgegangen. Betrachten wir das menschliche Herz. Es ist heute ein physisches Organ, aber es ist aus einem Ätherorgan heraus verdichtet. Dieses heutige menschliche Herz hat seine Anlage erhalten damals, als der Mensch durch die Gruppenseelenhaftigkeit hindurchgegangen ist, die mit dem Löwen bezeichnet wird. Also ist das Herz das «Horn» des Löwenkopfes, denn als der Ätherleib so weit war, daß der Mensch erschien mit der Gruppenseele, die im Löwenkopf symbolisiert wird, da hat sich die Anlage gebildet, die später das physische Herz wurde. Aus dieser Anlage des Löwenmenschen entstand die heutige menschliche physische Herzanlage.
