Such a picture was intended to shape his spirit. But the pupil was not to seize the facts with heavy hands. The picture was to stand bright and livingly before him, and the initiate did not wish to press dry banal concepts into the truths he could give. He wanted to present truth in pictures. Poetry has done much for the Prometheus saga, beautifying and ornamenting it.

Ein solches Bild sollte seinen Geist formen. Die Tatsachen aber sollte der Schüler nicht mit groben Fäusten anfassen, sondern das Bild sollte licht und lebendig vor ihm stehen, und der ägyptische Eingeweihte wollte nicht banale, trockene Begriffe hineinpressen in Wahrheiten, sondern etwas in Bildern darstellen, was er geben konnte. Vieles hat bei der Prometheussage die Dichtung getan, hat verschönert und hat verziert, und wir dürfen nicht mehr hineinlegen, als die okkulten Tatsachen sind, und dem nur künstlerischen Tun seine feinen Gestaltungskräfte lassen. Nun wollen wir noch auf etwas anderes hindeuten. Der Mensch, als er auf der Erde ankam, war noch nicht Ich-begabt. Bevor das Ich in den Astralleib hineingeheimnißt worden ist, hatten andere Kräfte von dem Astralleib Besitz. Dann ist der lichtflüssige Astralleib durchzogen worden von dem Ich. Bevor das Ich darinnen war, waren die astralen Kräfte von den göttlich-geistigen Wesen von außen hineingesendet worden in den Menschen. Der Astralleib war auch da, aber durchglüht von göttlich-geistigen Wesen. Rein und hell war der Astralleib und umfloß dasjenige, was als physischer und Ätherleib als Anlage da war. Er umfloß und durchfloß es; rein war der Fluß des Astralleibes. Mit dem Eintritt des Ich aber war der Egoismus hineingetreten, und verdunkelt war der Astralleib worden, verloren war der reine Goldfluß des Astralleibes, immer mehr war er verloren, bis der Mensch heruntergestiegen war auf den tiefsten Punkt des physischen Planes in der griechisch-lateinischen Zeit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":249,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/106/1908-09-12/p030"}],"english":["GA 106/1908-09-12/p032","GA 106/1908-09-12/p033"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":249,"en_words":249,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","anchors","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 106/1908-09-12/p030"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5907,"original_word_count":5918,"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/AP1971/19080912p01.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.
