At that time the human body still consisted of soft and malleable materials. The other forms of earth also were still soft and malleable. As opposed to its later hardened condition, earth was still in a welling, more fluid one. As the human soul at that time embodied itself in matter, it could adapt this matter to itself in a much greater degree than later. That the soul takes on a male or a female body is due to the fact that the development of external terrestrial nature forces the one or the other upon it. While the material substances had not yet become rigid, the soul could force these substances to obey its own laws. It made of the body an impression of its own nature. But when [it] became denser the soul had to submit to the laws impressed upon this matter by external terrestrial nature. As long as the soul could still control matter, it formed its body as neither male nor female, but, instead gave it qualities which embraced both at the same time. For the soul is simultaneously male and female. It carries these two natures in itself. Its male element is related to what is called *will*, its female element to what is called *imagination*.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":237,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/11/l06/p002","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"l05","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 11/l05/p001","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/11/l05/p001"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 11/l05/p001"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":433,"en_words":460,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

In an ancient period, human forms appear before us which are soft, malleable and quite different from later ones. They still carry the nature of man and woman within themselves to an equal degree.

When this difference had not yet appeared, every human being could produce another human being out of himself. Impregnation was not an external process, but was something which took, place inside the human body itself. By becoming male or female, the body lost this possibility of self-impregnation.

Denn auch die Formen des Mannes und der Frau sind erst im Laufe der Zeiten aus einer älteren Grundform entstanden, in welcher der Mensch weder das eine noch das andere, sondern beides zugleich war. Wer sich einen Begriff machen will von diesen urfernen Zeiten der Vergangenheit, der muß sich allerdings vollständig befreien von gewohnten Vorstellungen, die dem entnommen sind, was der Mensch um sich herum sieht. — die Zeiten, in die wir nunmehr zurückblicken, liegen etwas vor der Mitte der Epoche, die in den vorhergehenden Abschnitten als die lemurische bezeichnet worden ist. Der Menschenleib bestand da noch aus weichen bildsamen Stoffen. Es waren auch die übrigen Bildungen der Erde noch weich und bildsam Gegenüber ihrem späteren verfestigten war die Erde noch in einem quellenden, flüssigeren Zustande. Indem die Menschenseele damals sich im Stoffe verkörperte, konnte sie sich diesen Stoff in einem viel höheren Grade anpassen als später. Denn daß die Seele einen männlichen oder weiblichen Leib annimmt, rührt davon her, daß ihr die Entwickelung der äußeren Erdennatur den einen oder den andern aufdrängt. Solange die Stoffe noch nicht verfestigt waren, konnte die Seele diese Stoffe unter ihre eigenen Gesetze zwingen. Sie machte den Leib zu einem Abdruck ihres eigenen Wesens. Als aber der Stoff dicht geworden war, mußte sich die Seele den Gesetzen fügen, welche diesem Stoffe von der äußeren Erdennatur aufgeprägt wurden. Solange die Seele noch über den Stoff herrschen konnte, gestaltete sie ihren Leib weder männlich noch weiblich, sondern gab ihm Eigenschaften, die beides zugleich waren. Denn die Seele ist männlich und weiblich zugleich. Sie trägt in sich diese beiden Naturen. Ihr männliches Element ist dem verwandt, was man *Willen* nennt, ihr weibliches dem, was als *Vorstellung* bezeichnet wird. — die äußere Erdenbildung hat dazu geführt, daß der Leib eine einseitige Bildung angenommen hat. Der männliche Leib hat eine Gestalt angenommen, die aus dem Element des Willens bestimmt ist, der weibliche hingegen trägt mehr das Gepräge der Vorstellung. So kommt es denn, daß die zweigeschlechtliche, männlich-weibliche Seele in einem eingeschlechtlichen, männlichen *oder* weiblichen Leib wohnt. Der Leib hatte also im Laufe der Entwickelung eine durch die äußeren Erdenkräfte bestimmte Form angenommen, daß es fortan der Seele nicht mehr möglich war, ihre ganze innere Kraft in diesen Leib auszugießen. Sie mußte etwas von dieser ihrer Kraft in ihrem Innern behalten und konnte nur einen Teil derselben in den Leib einfließen lassen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":433,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/11/l05/p001"},{"locus":"GA 11/l05/p002","passage_number":2,"text":"Verfolgt man die Akasha-Chronik, so zeigt sich folgendes.
