When a man has freed himself from perception through his physical and etheric bodies, from all that can approach him by earthly means, how does he behold the universe with his clairvoyant perception? This was the great question for the pupils of the Mysteries. Man was naturally in this state before his entrance into earthly incarnation, before he became the ‘earthly Adam,’ using this term in the sense of the Bible and the Gospel of Luke.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Stages of downward penetration of divine nature into a human individuality","site_heading":"Divine Descent and the Two Jesus Children","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.

Sie wollten lehren, wie man die Welt anschauen kann, wenn man sie nicht durch die Werkzeuge anschaut, die der Mensch seit der Zeit erhalten hat, da der luziferische Einfluß wirken konnte. Wie nimmt sich das Weltall aus für das hellseherische Anschauen, wenn der Mensch sich frei macht von der Wahrnehmung durch physischen Leib und Ätherleib, sich frei macht von allem, was aus dem Irdischen an ihn herankommen kann, das war zunächst die große Frage für die Mysterienschüler. In einem solchen Zustande war der Mensch auf natürliche Weise vor dem Eintreten in eine irdische Inkarnation und bevor er zu dem «irdischen Adam» geworden ist, um im Sinne der Bibel und des Lukas-Evangeliums besonders zu sprechen. Also nur ein Zweifaches gibt es, wodurch der Mensch das sein kann, was ihn zu einem göttlich-geistigen Menschen macht: Das eine ist die hohe Initiation der großen Mysterien; das andere ist nicht zu verwirklichen in einer beliebigen Erdenzeit, sondern war vorhanden auf einer elementaren Stufe des Menschenseins, vor dem Herabsteigen des göttlichen Menschen in der lemurischen Zeit zu dem, was die Bibel den «irdischen Menschen» nennt; denn «Adam» heißt «Erdenmensch», der nicht mehr göttlich-geistiger Art ist, sondern sich bekleidet hat mit den irdischen Elementen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":245,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/123/1910-09-06/p004"}],"english":["GA 123/1910-09-06/p005","GA 123/1910-09-06/p006"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":245,"en_words":220,"ratio":0.9,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.9,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5403,"original_word_count":5980,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"RSPC1946","book_title":"The Gospel of St. Matthew (1946)","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Publishing Co.","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA123/English/RSPC1946/19100906p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
