It can see that things were fashioned in accordance with a certain wisdom. Through strength, through the giant in man, everything was formed and brought about; through what is in our intellectual soul when we are alive to it, we see beings around us who bring wisdom into everything, who regulate everything wisely. While the giants are generally seen in male form, we see the images of the intellectual soul as constructive female beings who bring wisdom into the activity of the world. These are the “wise women” of the tales, working behind everything that is formed and themselves forming everything. In these figures we see ourselves over and over again as we once were when we had acquired an intellectual soul but not yet a consciousness soul. Because we see ourselves intimately connected with such wise rulers at the back of things, we often feel when we enter an intermediate state of consciousness: “The wise female beings I see there are really related to me.” Therefore the idea of “sisters” often arises when these female beings appear.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"II.

Durch das, was die Verstandesseele ist, sieht der Mensch, wenn er in dieser Verstandesseele lebt, Wesenheiten um sich herum, Gestalten, die Weisheit in alles hineinbringen, die alles weise anordnen. Während er die Riesen in der Regel männlich sieht, sieht er die Gebilde der Verstandesseele als die formenden weiblichen Wesenheiten, die Weisheit in die Dinge hineinbringen, in das Gewoge der Welt. Das sind die «weisen Frauen», die hinter den Dingen wesen, die gestaltend sind, die alles gestalten. Er sieht wiederum in dieser Gestalt seine eigene Gestalt, als er zwar noch nicht eine Bewußtseinsseele hatte, aber doch schon eine Verstandesseele. Weise walten diese Wesen hinter den Dingen. Und weil er sich ihnen innig verwandt sieht, so fühlt der Mensch sehr häufig, wenn er in einem solchen Zwischenzustand ist: Was ich da als die weisen weiblichen Wesen sehe, das ist etwas, was eigentlich mir verwandt ist. Daher sehen wir, daß hier im Märchen sehr häufig der «Schwesters-Begriff auftritt, wenn diese weiblichen Wesenheiten erscheinen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":196,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/108/1908-12-26/p016"}],"english":["GA 108/1908-12-26/p017"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":196,"en_words":190,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.96,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9150,"original_word_count":9482,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Ruth Pusch","identified_edition":null,"book_title":"The Poetry and Meaning of Fairy Tales","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/PoeTales/19081226p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 108/1908-12-26/p016"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"medium","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
