Quite definite processes are rhythmically repeated in the physical body too, however improbable this sounds to people today. Nowadays they have almost become obliterated, because man has had to become independent of certain processes, but they are still noticeable to occult observation. If the physical body were entirely left to itself this rhythm would take place over a period of ten times seven times four days in the woman and twelve times seven times four days in the man. That is how it would be if the human being were entirely left to the laws inherent in the rhythms. At one time it was really like this, but man has become more free of the cosmic influences around him. Thus we have a flow of rhythmic processes in the four members of man's being. If you like, you can imagine each of the four rhythms as a circling. The rhythms man would carry out in his physical body, for instance, if he were left entirely to himself, only approximate, of course, with the external physical, purely spatial processes that correspond to these rhythms. This is because man has been driven back upon himself in the cause of freedom, and his relationship to the cosmos has changed accordingly.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IV.

Auch im physischen Leib wiederholen sich rhythmisch ganz bestimmte Vorgänge, so unwahrscheinlich das auch dem heutigen Menschen erscheint. Sie sind heute fast ganz verwischt, weil der Mensch unabhängig werden sollte von gewissen Vorgängen, aber für den okkulten Beobachter sind sie doch bemerkbar. Wenn der physische Leib ganz sich selbst überlassen wäre, so würde dieser Rhythmus in zehn mal sieben mal vier Tagen beim Weibe und in zwölf mal sieben mal vier Tagen beim Manne sich abspielen. So würde er sich abspielen, wenn der Mensch heute noch ganz allein den ihm eigenen Gesetzen seiner Rhythmen überlassen wäre. Einmal war es in der Tat so, aber der Mensch ist freier geworden von den ihn umgebenden kosmischen Einflüssen. So also haben wir ein rhythmisches Ablaufen der Vorgänge in den vier Gliedern der menschlichen Wesenheit. Sie können sich, wenn Sie wollen, jeden der vier Rhythmen vorstellen wie einen Kreislauf. Es fällt heute freilich dasjenige, was der Mensch zum Beispiel als Rhythmus in seinem physischen Leib ausführen würde, wenn er ganz sich selbst überlassen wäre, nur annähernd zusammen mit den äußeren physischen, rein räumlichen Vorgängen, die diesem Rhythmus entsprechen, weil durch die Zusammenschiebung der menschlichen Verhältnisse zugunsten der menschlichen Freiheit sich diese Beziehungen zum Kosmos verändert haben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":210,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/107/1908-12-21/p010"}],"english":["GA 107/1908-12-21/p010"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":210,"en_words":219,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4295,"original_word_count":4111,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Pauline Wehrle","identified_edition":"RSP1981","book_title":"The Being of Man and His Future Evolution","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA107/English/RSP1981/19081221p01.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.
