But now we must ask ourselves, What about these signs, this question of miracles? If you listened attentively to a number of things that were told you in the foregoing lectures you will remember having heard that the state of human consciousness has kept altering throughout the entire course of evolution. We cast our gaze back to remote times and found that men did not issue from a merely animalistic stage of development, but from a form in which they possessed the power of clairvoyance as a congenital endowment. People of that time were clairvoyant, even though their consciousness still lacked the ability to say “I am”. The capacity for self-consciousness was something they had to acquire gradually, and for this they had to forfeit their old clairvoyance. In the future the time will come again when all men are clairvoyant, but without loss of self-consciousness, of the “I am”. Those are the three stages which humanity has in part passed through, in part still has ahead of it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"9.

Wir haben den Blick zurückgewendet in ururalte Zeiten. Wir haben gesehen, daß die Menschen nicht ausgegangen sind von einem bloß tierischen Standpunkt in der Entwickelung, sondern von einer Gestalt, in der die Menschen noch Hellsehergabe wie eine natürliche Fähigkeit hatten. Hellseherisch waren die Menschen früher, wenn sie auch ein solches Bewußtsein hatten, daß sie noch nicht «Ich bin » sagen konnten. Die Fähigkeit des Selbstbewußtseins mußten sich die Menschen erst nach und nach erobern; dafür aber mußten sie in Kauf geben das alte Hellsehen. In der Zukunft wird eine Zeit wiederkommen, wo alle Menschen hellseherisch sind, trotzdem sie sich das Ich-bin, das Selbstbewußtsein bewahrt haben. Das sind die drei Stufen, welche die Menschheit zum Teil durchgemacht hat und zum Teil noch durchzumachen hat. In der Atlantis war es noch so, daß die Menschen dort in einer Art Traumbewußtsein lebten, aber in einem hellseherischen Bewußtsein. Dann kam es so, daß sie sich das Selbstbewußtsein, das äußere Gegenstandsbewußtsein allmählich eroberten,wofürsieaberinKauf geben mußten die alte dumpfe Hellsehergabe. Und endlich ein hellseherisches Bewußtsein, das mit diesem Selbstbewußtsein verbunden ist, wird der Mensch in der Zukunft haben. So wandelt der Mensch von einem alten dumpfen Hellsehen durch ein nicht hellsichtiges Gegenstandsbewußtsein und steigt wieder auf zu einem selbstbewußten Hellsehen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":245,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/112/1909-07-02/p008"}],"english":["GA 112/1909-07-02/p007","GA 112/1909-07-02/p008"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":268,"en_words":246,"ratio":0.92,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","anchors","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 112/1909-07-02/p007","GA 112/1909-07-02/p008"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.97,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7221,"original_word_count":7410,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Samuel and Loni Lockwood","identified_edition":"AP1948","book_title":"The Gospel of St. John","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA112/English/AP1948/19090702p02.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.
