If today you contemplate the human being—the being with which you are best acquainted—it will occur to you that he demands certain things of the world, and gives it certain things. Goethe summarized this very beautifully in the words, “Human life runs its course in the metamorphosis between receiving and giving.”[^1] Man derives not only bodily nourishment but mental sustenance from the outer world; and in this way he grows and receives what he needs for his own development. But through this process he also develops the capacity for giving, in turn, what he has brought to maturity in the way of ideas and feeling, and ultimately, of love. By his taking something from the world and giving something else to his surroundings, his capacities keep constantly increasing: he becomes sensible and intelligent, able to develop concepts which he can sacrifice to the common life of humanity. He develops feelings and sensations that are transformed into love; and by offering these he stimulates his fellow creatures. We need only call to mind what a vitalizing effect love can have on our fellow beings—how one who is really able to pour forth love upon his fellow men can quicken and comfort and elevate them through his love alone.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":220,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/112/1909-06-27/p008","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1909-06-27","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 112/1909-06-27/p008","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/112/1909-06-27/p008"},{"locus":"GA 112/1909-06-27/p009","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/112/1909-06-27/p009"},{"locus":"GA 112/1909-06-27/p010","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/112/1909-06-27/p010"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":691,"en_words":700,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

But no matter how great a capacity for sacrifice we may acquire, it is slight when compared with that of the Thrones. Evolution, however, consists in constantly increasing this capacity for sacrifice, until finally a being is able to sacrifice his own substance and essence, as it were, experiencing as highest blessedness the giving of all he had developed as matter and substance. There are august beings that rise to higher planes of existence by sacrificing their own substance.—A materialistic soul will naturally object: When beings reach the point of sacrificing their own substance, how can they then rise to a higher plane? They would be sacrificing themselves, and nothing would be left of them! Thus speaks the materialistic soul, incapable of understanding that there is a spiritual existence, that such a being continues to exist though sacrificing what he had gradually received into himself. On *Saturn* the Thrones were on a plane where they were able to pour forth the substantiality they had acquired during their previous development; and thereby they themselves rose to a higher stage of evolution.

These Spirits of Personality worked over, as it were, what had flowed from the Thrones; and through the collaboration of these two kinds of beings the first inception of the human physical body came into being. This work continued over a long period of time. Then, as mentioned yesterday, a cosmic night, or world *devachan*, intervened, and there came about the second embodiment of the earth, the *Sun* phase. Human beings emerged again, and other spiritual beings appeared on the scene: the Spirits of Fire, or *Archangels*, as they are known in Christian esotericism, and the Spirits of Wisdom, or *Kyriotetes*. These were mainly concerned with the further development of what reappeared as the human physical body. Now it was the turn of the Kyriotetes—the Dominions, or Spirits of Wisdom—to sacrifice their substantiality; and what we call the etheric body flowed into the physical body. This etheric body was then worked upon by the Spirits of Fire, or Archangels, in collaboration with the Spirits of Personality; and thereby man became a being of the rank of a plant. We may say that on *Saturn* the human being had the status of a mineral, for our minerals have only a physical body, and so had the man of *Saturn*; hence he lived a mineral existence.

Goethe hat das sehr schön in den Worten zusammengefaßt: «Das menschliche Leben verfließt in der Metamorphose zwischen Nehmen und Geben.» Der Mensch muß nicht nur die physische Nahrung von der Außenwelt nehmen, auch sein Verstand muß seine Nahrung aus der Außenwelt schöpfen. Dadurch wächst er und bekommt das, was er zu seiner eigenen Entwickelung braucht. Dadurch entwickelt er aber auch Fähigkeiten, wiederum zu geben, was er an Ideen und Empfindungen und zuletzt an Liebe ausreift. Daß er etwas aus der Welt nimmt, anderes wiederum gibt an die Umgebung, dadurch werden seine Fähigkeiten immer höher und höher. Er wird ein verständiger und intellektueller Mensch, kann Begriffe entwickeln, die er hinopfern kann dem gemeinschaftlichen Menschheitsleben. Es entwickelt der Mensch Gefühle und Empfindungen, die sich zur Liebe umgestalten, und wenn er diese Gefühle und Empfindungen den Mitmenschen darbringt, dann belebt er seine Mitwesen. Wir brauchen uns nur vor die Seele zu rufen, wie belebend die Liebe auf die Mitwesen wirken kann, wie der, der wirklich imstande ist, Liebe auszugießen auf die Mitmenschen, durch seine Liebe allein beleben und trösten und erheben kann. Da hat der Mensch die Gabe, etwas hinzuopfern. Aber wenn wir uns noch soviel erwerben in bezug auf solche Opfermöglichkeit, gegen die der Throne ist es gering. Die Entwickelung aber besteht darin, daß ein Wesen immer mehr und mehr die Fähigkeit erlangt, hinzuopfern, bis es zum Schluß imstande ist, sozusagen die eigene Substanz und Wesenheit hinzuopfern, es als die höchste Seligkeit empfindet, das hinzugeben, was es als Stoff und Substanz entwickelt hat.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":282,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/112/1909-06-27/p008"},{"locus":"GA 112/1909-06-27/p009","passage_number":9,"text":"Es gibt solche hohe Wesenheiten, die dadurch zu einer höheren Stufe des Daseins aufsteigen, daß sie ihre eigene Substanz hinopfern.

Da opfern sie sich ja selbst, da ist ja von ihnen nichts mehr vorhanden! — Das sagt das materialistische Gemüt, denn es kann nicht begreifen, daß es ein geistiges Dasein gibt, daß ein solches Wesen erhalten bleibt, wenn es das wiederum hingibt, was es nach und nach aufgenommen hat. Die Throne waren auf dem Saturn auf einer solchen Stufe, daß sie ausgießen konnten die Substantialität, die sie sich während der vorherigen Entwickelung angeeignet hatten. Dadurch steigen sie selbst zu einer höheren Stufe der Entwickelung empor. Und was da ausfloß von den Thronen, wie etwa das, was die Spinne aus sich heraussetzt, um ihr Netz zu spinnen, das war zunächst die Grundlage zum Bilden des physischen Menschenleibes. Dann kam noch eine andere Art von Wesenheiten hinzu — nicht so hoch stehend wie die Throne -, die wir die «Geister der Persönlichkeit» nennen, oder die «Urkräfte», «Archai» im Sinne der christlichen Esoterik. Diese Geister der Persönlichkeit durcharbeiteten gleichsam das, was von den Thronen ausgeflossen war.
