But external science immediately turns anything of the nature of the harmony of the spheres into an abstraction—which of course it is not—and has no inkling of the reality. In the Pythagorean Schools the power to become aware of the harmony of the spheres was understood to be the re-opening of man's being to the sound-ether and to the divine life-ether.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"Cosmic Evolution and the Hebrew Lineage of Christ","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.

Dann verschlossen sich die Menschen diesen Wirkungen. Und als dieselben nicht mehr in den Menschen hereindringen konnten, während das menschliche Innenleben dafür immer mehr und mehr aufblühte, da waren es nur die heiligen Mysterien, welche ihre Bekenner so zur Entwickelung der geistigen Kräfte brachten, daß der Mensch sozusagen entgegen den normalen Erdverhältnissen, durch das, was man mit Joga bezeichnen kann, die Sonnenwirkungen unmittelbar wahrnehmen konnte. Daher entwickelten sich in der zweiten Hälfte der atlantischen Zeit die mit Recht Orakel genannten Stätten innerhalb des atlantischen Landes, wo innerhalb einer Menschheit, die normalerweise nicht mehr die direkten Wirkungen des Klangäthers und des Lebensäthers wahrnehmen konnte, solche Schüler und Bekenner der heiligen Weisheit ausgebildet wurden, die dadurch, daß sie das bloße sinnliche Wahrnehmen zunächst unterdrückten, die Offenbarungen des Klangäthers und des Lebensäthers wahrnehmen konnten. Und diese Möglichkeit blieb erhalten für die wirklichen Stätten der Geheimwissenschaft in der nachatlantischen Zeit. Es ist ja so stark geblieben, daß selbst die äußere Wissenschaft, ob sie es zwar nicht versteht, noch eine Überlieferung aus der Schule des Pythagoras bewahrt hat, die dahin geht, daß man die Sphärenharmonien hören kann. Nur verwandelt die äußere Wissenschaft so etwas wie die Sphärenharmonie gleich in ein Abstraktum — was sie aber nicht war - und denkt nur nicht das, was sie ist. Denn in Wirklichkeit verstand man in den Pythagoreerschulen unter der Fähigkeit der Wahrnehmung der Sphärenharmonie das reale Sich-wieder-Öffnen der menschlichen Wesenheit dem Klangäther, der Sphärenharmonie, und dem realen göttlichen Lebensäther.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":257,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/123/1910-09-03_02/p020"}],"english":["GA 123/1910-09-03_02/p024","GA 123/1910-09-03_02/p025"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":257,"en_words":267,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.95,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6387,"original_word_count":6702,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy S.
