In those plains those Spirits of Form are principally active who work indirectly through the blood.

There the Mars-spirits enter the blood: But they work in it in quite a definite way, viz., they are there able to work towards the six Elohim who are centered in the Sun. In the Mongolian race, therefore, they work towards these six Elohim, and in doing so they make a special attack in the other direction towards Jahve or Jehovah Who has separated His field of action from that of the six Elohim.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VI","site_heading":"Planetary Spirits and the Formation of Human Races","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Das sind diejenigen Flächen, in denen die Geister der Form vorzugsweise wirken, die den Umweg durch das Blut genommen haben. Da wird im Blute dasjenige ausgekocht, was die eigentliche Modifikation aus der Menschheit heraus, den Grundcharakter der Rasse bewirkt. Nun ist aber bei dieser mongolischen Rasse etwas höchst Eigentümliches vorhanden. Da gehen ins Blut hinein die Marsgeister. Sie arbeiten aber auf eine ganz bestimmte Weise im Blute, so daß sie den sechs Elohim, die in der Sonne zentriert sind, entgegenwirken können. Diesen sechs Elohim wirken sie also entgegen in der mongolischen Rasse. Dabei machen sie eine ganz besondere Attacke nach der anderen Seite, nach Jahve oder Jehova, der abgetrennt hat sein Wirkungsgebiet von dem der sechs Elohim. Aber außer diesem Zusammenwirken der Marsgeister mit den sechs Elohim und Jahve, das die mongolische Rasse ergibt, gibt es noch ein Besonderes. Wenn wir die Art dieses besonderen Einflusses angeben wollen, so müssen wir sagen: Wie in das Mongolische hinein die sechs Elohim von der Sonne, Jahve vom Monde und ihnen entgegen die Marsgeister wirken, so müssen wir in einem anderen Falle annehmen, daß von der Mondrichtung her die Jahvekräfte wieder zusammentreten und zusammenwirken mit den Marsgeistern, und daß dadurch eine besondere Modifikation entsteht. Hier haben Sie, aus dem okkultesten Hintergrunde heraus erklärt, eine besondere Modifikation der Menschheit, nämlich diejenige, die zum Semitentum gehört. Im Semitentum haben Sie eine Modifikation des gesamten Menschentums, so, daß sich ausschließt von den anderen Elohim Jahve oder Jehova und dieses Volk mit einem besonderen Charakter veranlagt, indem er zusammenwirkt mit den Geistern des Mars, um die besondere Modifikation dieses Volkes hervorzubringen. Jetzt werden Sie auch das Besondere einsehen, das in dem semitischen Volk und seiner Mission liegt. In einem gewissen, tiefen okkulten Sinn konnte der Schreiber der Bibel sagen, daß Jahve oder Jehova dieses Volk zu seinem Volke gemacht habe, und wenn Sie jetzt das dazu nehmen, daß hier ein Zusammenwirken stattfindet mit den Marsgeistern, und daß die Marsgeister ihre Angriffe vorzugsweise auf das Blut richten, dann werden Sie auch begreifen, warum gerade die fortgehende Wirkung des Blutes von Geschlecht zu Geschlecht, von Generation zu Generation für das semitisch-hebräische Volk von ganz besonderer Wichtigkeit ist, und warum im semitischen Volk der Gott Jahve sich als der Gott bezeichnet, der mit dem Blute herunterrinnt von Abraham, Isaak, Jakob und so weiter. Das ist der Weg, wie das Blut rinnt durch alle diese Geschlechter. Indem sich Jahve bezeichnet: «Ich bin der Gott Abrahams, Isaaks und Jakobs», sagt er: Ich wirke in eurem Blute. — Was immer im Blute wirkt, was im Blute ausgefochten werden muß, das Zusammenwirken mit den Marsgeistern, das ist eines der Mysterien, die uns tief hineinführen in die weise Führung der gesamten Menschheit der Erde.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":458,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/121/1910-06-12_02/p020"}],"english":["GA 121/1910-06-12_02/p025","GA 121/1910-06-12_02/p026","GA 121/1910-06-12_02/p027"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":458,"en_words":473,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.08,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5648,"original_word_count":5223,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"APC1929","book_title":"The Mission of Folk-Souls","publisher":"Anthroposophical Publishing Co.","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA121/English/APC1929/19100612a01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
