As a result, the Moon man could regulate his behavior entirely in accordance with the images which arose in his image consciousness, These images were a complete means of orientation for him.

The integration of the astral body and the related development of a nervous system in the physical body was only made possible by the fact that what had previously been *one* body, the *Sun*, split into *two*—into *Sun* and *Moon*. The former advanced to the state of a fixed star, the latter remained a planet—which the Sun also had been—and began to circle around the Sun, from which it had split off. Through this a significant transformation took place in everything which lived on Sun and Moon. Here for the moment we shall follow this process of transformation only insofar as it concerns the life of the Moon. Man, consisting of physical body and astral body, had remained united with the Moon when it split off from the Sun. He thereby entered into entirely new conditions of existence. For the Moon took with it only a part of the forces contained in the Sun, and this part now acted on man from his own heavenly body; the Sun had retained the other part of the forces within itself. This latter part is now sent from the outside to the Moon and hence also to its inhabitant, man. If the previous relationship had remained in existence, if all the Sun forces had continued to reach man from his own scene of activity, that inner life which shows itself in the arising of the images of the astral body could not have developed. The Sun force continued its activity on the physical body and ether body *from the outside*; it had already acted on both of these previously. But it liberated a portion of these two bodies for influences which emanated from the Moon, the heavenly body newly created by a splitting-off. Thus, on the Moon man was under a two-fold influence, that of the Sun and that of the Moon. It is to be ascribed to the influence of the Moon that out of the physical and the ether body there developed those parts which permitted the imprinting of the astral body. An astral body can only create images when the Sun forces reach it from outside rather than from its own planet. The Moon influences transformed the sensory rudiments and the glandular organs in such a way that a nervous system could be integrated into them; and the sun influences brought it about that the images for which this nervous system was the instrument corresponded to the external Moon events in the manner described above.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":439,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/11/l18/p013","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"l17","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 11/l17/p006","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/11/l17/p006"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 11/l17/p006"],"length_check":{"de_words":390,"en_words":439,"ratio":1.13,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

The union lasted until man was far enough advanced so that his hardening, which would have had to take place on the Moon, could be prevented by a new stage of development.

Dies kommt davon, weil innerhalb der planetarischen Entwickelung des menschlichen Wohnplatzes am physischen Menschenleibe am längsten gearbeitet worden ist. Das, was der Mensch gegenwärtig als seinen physischen Körper an sich trägt, hat alle Entwickelungsstufen von Saturn, Sonne, Mond und Erde (bis zu deren heutiger Stufe) miterlebt. Alle Kräfte dieser planetarischen Körper haben nacheinander an diesem Leibe gearbeitet, so daß er allmählich seinen jetzigen Vollkommenheitsgrad erlangen hat können. Er ist also das *älteste* Glied der gegenwärtigen Menschennatur. — der Ätherleib, wie er sich jetzt am Menschen darstellt, war während der Saturnzeit überhaupt noch nicht vorhanden. Er kam erst während der Sonnenentwickelung hinzu. An ihm haben also nicht die Kräfte von vier planetarischen Körpern gearbeitet wie am physischen Leibe, sondern nur diejenigen dreier: nämlich von der Sonne, Mond und Erde. Er kann also erst in einer zukünftigen Entwickelungsperiode so vollkommen in seiner Art sein, wie es der physische Körper gegenwärtig ist. Der Astralleib hat sich erst während der Mondenzeit zum physischen Körper und zum Ätherleib hinzugesellt, und das «Ich» erst während der Erdenzeit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":219,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/11/l17/p003"},{"locus":"GA 11/l17/p004","passage_number":4,"text":"Man hat sich nun vorzustellen, daß der physische Menschenkörper auf dem Saturn eine gewisse Stufe seiner Ausbildung erlangt hat und daß diese dann auf der Sonne weitergeführt worden ist in der Art, daß er von damals an der Träger eines Ätherleibes sein konnte. Auf dem Saturn ist eben dieser physische Leib so weit gekommen, daß er ein äußerst zusammengesetzter Mechanismus war, der aber noch nichts vom Leben in sich hatte. Die Kompliziertheit der Zusammensetzung bewirkte, daß er zuletzt zerfiel. Denn diese Kompliziertheit hatte einen so hohen Grad erreicht, daß sie sich durch die bloßen mineralischen Kräfte, welche in ihr wirkten, nicht mehr halten konnte. Und durch dieses Zusammenbrechen der physischen Menschenkörper wurde überhaupt der Untergang des Saturn herbeigeführt. — dieser Saturn hatte nämlich auf sich von den gegenwärtigen Naturreichen, nämlich dem Mineralreich, dem Pflanzenreich, dem Tierreich und dem Menschenreiche nur erst das letztere. Was man gegenwärtig als Tiere, Pflanzen und Mineralien kennt, gab es auf dem Saturn noch nicht. Auf diesem Weltkörper war von den jetzigen vier Naturreichen nur der Mensch, seinem physischen Körper nach, vorhanden; und dieser physische Körper war allerdings eine Art komplizierten Minerals. Die anderen Reiche sind dadurch entstanden, daß auf den aufeinanderfolgenden Weltkörpern nicht alle Wesen das volle Entwickelungsziel erreichen konnten. So hat nur ein Teil der auf dem Saturn ausgebildeten Menschenkörper das volle Saturnziel erreicht. Diejenigen Menschenleiber, welche dieses Ziel erreicht haben, wurden nun während der Sonnenzeit gleichsam zu neuem Dasein in ihrer alten Form auferweckt, und diese Form wurde mit dem Ätherleib durchdrungen. Sie entwickelten sich dadurch zu einer höheren Stufe der Vollkommenheit. Sie wurden eine Art von Pflanzenmenschen. Derjenige Teil aber der Menschenkörper, welcher auf dem Saturn nicht das volle Entwickelungsziel hat erreichen können, mußte während der Sonnenzeit das Versäumte unter wesentlich ungünstigeren Verhältnissen fortsetzen, als sie für *diese* Entwickelung auf dem Saturn vorhanden waren. Er blieb daher hinter dem Teil zurück, der auf dem Saturn das volle Ziel erreicht hatte. Es entstand dadurch auf der Sonne ein zweites Naturreich neben dem Menschenreiche.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":330,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/11/l17/p004"},{"locus":"GA 11/l17/p005","passage_number":5,"text":"Es wäre irrtümlich, wenn man glauben wollte, daß alles, was sich an Organen im gegenwärtigen Menschenleibe findet, schon auf dem Saturn veranlagt worden wäre. Das ist nicht der Fall. Es sind vielmehr vorzüglich die Sinnesorgane innerhalb des Menschenleibes, die ihren Ursprung in diese alte Zeit zurückversetzen dürfen. Es haben die ersten Anlagen zu Augen, Ohren und so weiter, die auf dem Saturn als mineralische Körper so sich bildeten wie etwa jetzt auf der Erde die «leblosen Kristalle», einen so alten Ursprung; ihre gegenwärtige Form aber haben die entsprechenden Organe dadurch erhalten, daß sie sich in jeder der folgenden planetarischen Zeiten immer wieder zu höherer Vollkommenheit umbildeten. Auf dem Saturn waren sie physikalische Apparate, nichts weiter. Auf der Sonne sind sie dann umgebildet worden, weil ein Äther oder Lebensleib sie durchdrang. Sie wurden dadurch in den Lebensprozeß einbezogen. Sie wurden *belebte* physikalische Apparate. Und zu ihnen kamen diejenigen Glieder des menschlichen physischen Leibes hinzu, die sich überhaupt nur unter dem Einfluß eines Ätherleibes entwickeln konnten: die Wachstums-, die Ernährungs-, die Fortpflanzungsorgane. Selbstverständlich gleichen die ersten Anlagen dieser Organe, wie sie sich auf der Sonne herausbildeten, wieder nicht an Vollkommenheit der Form, die sie gegenwärtig haben. — die höchsten Organe, welche sich der Menschenleib damals eingliederte, indem physischer Körper und Ätherleib zusammenwirkten, waren diejenigen, welche sich in der Gegenwart zu den *Drüsen* ausgewachsen haben. So also ist der physische Menschenleib auf der Sonne ein Drüsensystem, dem die auf entsprechender Stufe stehenden Sinnesorgane eingeprägt sind. — auf dem Monde geht die Entwickelung weiter. Zu dem physischen Körper und dem Ätherleib kommt der Astralleib hinzu. Dadurch wird dem Drüsensinnesleib eingegliedert die erste Anlage eines Nervensystems. Man sieht, der physische Menschenleib wird in den aufeinanderfolgenden planetarischen Entwickelungszeiten immer komplizierter. Auf dem Monde ist er aus Nerven, Drüsen, Sinnen zusammengefügt. Die Sinne haben eine zweimalige Umgestaltung und Vervollkommnung hinter sich, die Nerven sind auf ihrer ersten Stufe. Betrachtet man den Mondmenschen als Ganzes, dann besteht er aus drei Gliedern: einem physischen Leib, einem Ätherleib und einem Astralleib. Der physische Leib ist dreigliedrig; er hat als *seine* Gliederung die Arbeit der Saturn-, der Sonnen- und der Mondenkräfte in sich. Der Ätherleib ist erst zweigliedrig. Er hat nur in sich die Wirkung der Sonnen- und Mondenarbeit; und der Astralleib ist noch eingliedrig. An ihm haben nur die Mondenkräfte gearbeitet. — durch die Aufnahme des Astralleibes ist der Mensch auf dem Monde eines Empfindungslebens, einer gewissen Innerlichkeit, fähig geworden. Er kann von dem, was in seiner Umgebung vor sich geht, innerhalb seines Astralleibes *Bilder* gestalten. Diese Bilder sind in einer gewissen Beziehung mit den Traumbildern des gegenwärtigen Menschheitsbewußtseins zu vergleichen; nur sind sie lebhafter, farbenvoller und, was die Hauptsache ist, sie beziehen sich auf Vorgänge der Außenwelt, während die gegenwärtigen Traumbilder bloße Nachklänge des Alltagslebens oder sonstwie *unklare* Spiegelungen innerer oder äußerer Vorgänge sind. Die Bilder des Mondenbewußtseins waren vollkommen dem entsprechend, auf das sie sich nach außen bezogen. Man nehme zum Beispiel an, ein solcher Mondenmensch, wie er eben — bestehend aus physischem Körper, Ätherleib und Astralleib — gekennzeichnet worden ist, hätte sich einem anderen Mondenwesen genähert. Er hätte dasselbe zwar nicht als räumlichen Gegenstand wahrnehmen können, denn solches ist erst im Erdenbewußtsein des Menschen möglich geworden; aber innerhalb seines Astralleibes wäre ein Bild aufgestiegen, das in seiner Farbe und Form ganz genau ausgedrückt hätte, ob das andere Wesen diesem Mondenmenschen Sympathie oder Antipathie entgegenbrachte, ob es ihm nützlich oder gefährlich werden konnte. Der Mondenmensch konnte demnach sein Verhalten genau nach den Bildern einrichten, welche in seinem Bilderbewußtsein aufstiegen. Diese Bilder waren ihm ein vollkommenes Orientierungsmittel. Und das physische Werkzeug, das der Astralleib brauchte, um mit den niedrigeren Naturreichen in Beziehung zu treten, war das dem physischen Leibe eingegliederte Nervensystem.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":612,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/11/l17/p005"},{"locus":"GA 11/l17/p006","passage_number":6,"text":"Daß diese hier geschilderte Umwandlung mit dem Menschen während der Mondenzeit hat vor sich gehen können, dazu war die Mitwirkung eines großen Weltenereignisses nötig. Die Eingliederung des Astralleibes und die ihm entsprechende Ausbildung eines Nervensystems im physischen Körper ist nur dadurch möglich geworden, daß dasjenige, was vorher *ein* Körper war, die *Sonne,* sich in *zwei* spaltete, in *Sonne* und *Mond*. Die erstere rückte zum Fixstern auf, der letztere blieb Planet — was vorher die Sonne auch war — und fing an, die Sonne, aus der er sich herausgespalten hatte, zu umkreisen. Dadurch ging mit allem, was auf Sonne und Mond lebte, eine bedeutungsvolle Umwandlung vor sich. Es soll hier zunächst dieser Umwandlungsprozeß nur insoweit verfolgt werden, als er sich auf das Mondleben bezieht. Der aus physischem und Ätherleib bestehende Mensch war bei der Abspaltung des Mondes von der Sonne mit dem ersteren vereint geblieben. Er ist damit in ganz neue Daseinsbedingungen eingetreten. Denn der Mond hat ja aus der Sonne nur einen Teil der in letzterer enthaltenen Kräfte mit sich genommen; nur dieser Teil wirkte jetzt auf den Menschen von seinem eigenen Weltkörper aus, den andern Teil der Kräfte hat die Sonne in sich zurückbehalten. Dieser Teil wird also dem Monde und damit auch seinem Bewohner, dem Menschen, von außen zugesandt. Wäre das frühere Verhältnis bestehen geblieben, wären alle Sonnenkräfte weiter dem Menschen von seinem eigenen Schauplatz zugeflossen, so hätte nicht jenes Innenleben entstehen können, das sich in dem Aufsteigen der Bilder des Astralleibes zeigt. Die Sonnenkraft blieb *von außen* wirksam auf physischen Leib und Ätherleib, auf die sie früher schon gewirkt hatte. Doch gab sie einen Teil dieser beiden Leiber frei für Einwirkungen, welche von dem durch Abspaltung neu gebildeten Weltkörper, eben dem Mond, ausgingen. So also stand der Mensch auf dem Monde unter einer doppelten Einwirkung, unter derjenigen der Sonne und des Mondes. Und der Einwirkung des Mondes ist zuzuschreiben, daß sich aus dem physischen und dem Ätherleib jene Glieder herausbildeten, welche die Einprägung des Astralleibes gestatteten. Und ein Astralleib kann Bilder nur schaffen, wenn ihm die Sonnenkräfte nicht von dem eigenen Planeten, sondern von außen kommen. Die Mondwirkungen gestalteten die Sinnesanlagen und die Drüsenorgane so um, daß sich diesen ein Nervensystem eingliedern konnte; und die Sonnenwirkungen brachten zustande, daß die Bilder, zu welchen dieses Nervensystem das Werkzeug war, den äußeren Mondvorgängen in der oben beschriebenen Art entsprachen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":390,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/11/l17/p006"},{"locus":"GA 11/l17/p007","passage_number":7,"text":"Nur bis zu einem gewissen Punkte konnte die Entwickelung in dieser Art fortgehen. Wäre dieser Punkt überschritten worden, so hätte sich der Mondenmensch in seinem Bilderinnenleben verhärtet; und er hätte dadurch allen Zusammenhang mit der Sonne verlieren müssen. Als es so weit war, nahm die Sonne den Mond wieder auf, so daß für einige Zeit beide wieder *ein* Körper waren. Die Vereinigung dauerte so lange, bis der Mensch weit genug war, um durch eine neue Entwickelungsstufe seine Verhärtung, wie sie auf dem Monde hätte eintreten müssen, verhindern zu können. Als dies geschehen war, fand eine neue Trennung statt, doch nahm jetzt der Mond noch Sonnenkräfte mit, die ihm vorher nicht zuteil geworden waren. Und dadurch ist bewirkt worden, daß nach einiger Zeit eine nochmalige Abspaltung stattfand. Was sich von der Sonne zuletzt abgespalten hatte, war ein Weltkörper, welcher alles an Kräften und Wesen enthielt, was gegenwärtig auf Erde und Mond lebt. Die Erde hatte also den Mond, der sie jetzt umkreist, noch in dem eigenen Leibe. Wäre er in ihr geblieben, so hätte sie nimmermehr der Schauplatz einer Menschenentwickelung werden können, wie sie die gegenwärtige ist. Es mußten die Kräfte des jetzigen Mondes erst abgestoßen werden; und der Mensch mußte auf dem so gereinigten Erdenschauplatze zurückbleiben und da seine Entwickelung fortsetzen. Auf diese Art entstanden drei Weltkörper aus der alten Sonne. Und die Kräfte von zweien dieser Weltkörper, der neuen Sonne und des neuen Mondes, werden der Erde und damit ihrem Bewohner von außen zugesendet. — durch diesen Fortschritt in der Weltkörperentwickelung ist es möglich geworden, daß der dreigliedrigen Menschennatur, wie sie noch auf dem Monde war, das *vierte Glied,* das «Ich» sich einfügte. Diese Einfügung war verbunden mit einer Vervollkommnung des physischen Leibes, des Ätherleibes und des Astralleibes. Die Vervollkommnung des physischen Leibes bestand darin, daß diesem das System des Herzens als Bereiter des *warmen Blutes* eingegliedert worden ist. Selbstverständlich mußten jetzt das Sinnessystem, das Drüsensystem und das Nervensystem so umgestaltet werden, daß sie sich in dem menschlichen Organismus mit dem neu hinzugekommenen System des warmen Blutes vertragen. Die Sinnesorgane sind aber so umgestaltet worden, daß aus dem bloßen Bilderbewußtsein des alten Mondes das Gegenstandsbewußtsein werden konnte, das die Wahrnehmung *äußerer* Dinge vermittelt, und das gegenwärtig der Mensch besitzt vom Aufwachen am Morgen an bis zum Einschlafen am Abend. Auf dem alten Monde waren die Sinne nach außen noch nicht offen; die Bewußtseinsbilder stiegen von innen auf; eben diese Öffnung der Sinne nach außen ist die Errungenschaft der Erdenentwickelung.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":410,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/11/l17/p007"}],"beads":[{"from":[5,6],"to":[3],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[7,8],"to":[4],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[11,12],"to":[5],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[13],"to":[6],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[14,15],"to":[7],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
