It will only become possible again for the sciences to achieve fruitful results when man is permeated with the great truths of spiritual science. In earlier times, up to about the middle of the earth evolution, all the rhythms in man were much more in harmony with the rhythms of outer nature. Since that time, that is, since the middle of Atlantean times, however, things have shifted. Man's inner life has emancipated itself from outer rhythm, but he has kept his inner rhythm. It is just because the rhythms do not harmonise that man has acquired his independence and freedom, otherwise the evolution of freedom in the history of mankind would not have been possible. Man's rhythm compared with the sun, or the earth's compared with the sun has shot ahead. A similar thing has happened with the other rhythms, for instance that of the astral body. In earlier times man experienced quite different shades of mood in the course of seven days. At one time everything outside him made a great impression on him, and at another time he lived more in his inner life. It is because the rhythms are no longer in harmony that the condition of inner experience remains, even when man has more joy from the outer world, and vice versa. They combine and balance one another and this makes the astral body even-tempered, as it were. By means of careful observation you can still notice these alternations of mood in people who live more in their astral body. The variations in the condition of the astral body can be established in the case of people who are psychologically or mentally ill.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IV.

Deshalb wird Fruchtbarkeit in den Wissenschaften erst dann wieder möglich sein, wenn der Mensch durchsetzt sein wird von den großen Erkenntnissen der Geisteswissenschaft. Früher, etwa bis in die Mitte unserer Erdentwicklung hinein, stimmte der Mensch in allen seinen Rhythmen viel mehr überein mit den äußeren Naturrhythmen. Seit jener Zeit, also seit der Mitte der atlantischen Zeit aber haben sich die Dinge übereinandergeschoben. Das Innere des Menschen hat sich unabhängig gemacht von dem äußeren Rhythmus. Innen hat er seinen alten Rhythmus beibehalten. Gerade durch das Nicht-Zusammenstimmen der Rhythmen hat sich der Mensch Unabhängigkeit und Freiheit erworben, sonst wäre die freiheitliche Entwicklung in der Geschichte der Menschheit nicht möglich geworden. Der Rhythmus des Menschen ist gegen den der Sonng, beziehungsweise der der Erde gegen den der Sonne, vorangeeilt. Ähnlich ist es mit den anderen Rhythmen, zum Beispiel mit dem des Astralleibes. Früher erlebte der Mensch in den sieben Tagen ganz verschiedene Stimmungsnuancen. Eine Zeitlang machte alles Äußere einen großen Eindruck auf ihn, eine andere Zeit lebte er mehr in seinem Innern. Weil die Rhythmen heute nicht mehr zusammenstimmen, deshalb bleiben die Zustände des inneren Erlebens auch in der Zeit, wo der Mensch an der Außenwelt mehr Freude hat, und umgekehrt. Sie mischen sich ineinander und gleichen sich aus, und der astralische Leib wird dadurch sozusagen gleichtemperiert. Bei den Menschen, die mehr in ihrem astralischen Leibe leben, kann man bei feiner Beobachtung solches Schwanken in den Stimmungen noch wahrnehmen. Bei Seelen- oder Geisteskranken kann man die Verschiedenheiten in den Zuständen des astralischen Leibes nachweisen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":285,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/107/1908-12-21/p017"}],"english":["GA 107/1908-12-21/p016"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":285,"en_words":314,"ratio":1.1,"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.
