Dann umhüllte es sich im niederen Devachan mit einer astralischen Hülle, die in sich die Kräfte hatte, Liebe zu entwickeln. Die Liebe, den Eros, nannte man Kama. So bekommt Kama einen Sinn für die Erdenentwickelung. Es kleidete sich das göttliche Wort, das Brahman, in Kama, und durch das Kama hindurch tönte dem Schüler das Urwort heraus. Das Kleid der Liebe war Kama, das Kleid des Urwortes Väc, des Wortes Väc, das dem lateinischen «vox» zugrunde liegt. Und so empfand der Schüler im innersten Wesen, daß sich das Gotteswort ein astralisches Liebeskleid umgelegt hatte, und nun sagte er sich: Der Mensch, der heute aus vier Gliedern besteht, aus dem physischen Leibe, dem Ätherleib, dem Astralleib und dem Ich, dieser Mensch hat als höchstes Glied sein Ich. Und dieses Ich stieg hinunter in das Liebeskleid und bildete sich Kama-Manas. Das war das innerste Wesen des Menschen, Kama war es, in das sich Manas kleidete: das war das Ich. Aber wir wissen auch, daß dieses innerste Wesen herausentwickeln wird drei Glieder, die höher sind, die wandeln die niederen Glieder um, wandeln auch den physischen Leib um, und wie das Manas aus der Astralhülle wird, wie dem Prana die Budhi auf höherer Stufe entspricht, so wird der physische Leib, wenn er ganz vergeistigt sein wird, Atma sein. Alles das war aber schon keimhaft veranlagt in der Väc, und ein Vedasatz erinnert noch daran, wie der Schüler das Geheimnis des innersten Wesens zum Ausdruck brachte.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":253,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/106/1908-09-05/p021"}],"english":["GA 106/1908-09-05/p023","GA 106/1908-09-05/p024","GA 106/1908-09-05/p025"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":253,"en_words":242,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4393,"original_word_count":4251,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Norman MacBeth","identified_edition":"AP1971","book_title":"Egyptian Myths and Mysteries","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA106/English/AP1971/19080905p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
