But then everything in earthly human nature would have been different; there would, for example, have been no mind incapable of comprehending the Resurrection. For what kind of understanding is it that cannot grasp the Resurrection? It is the kind that is bound up with the decadence of the physical body, and is what it is because the individual has incurred, through the Luciferic influence, the progressive destruction of the Phantom of the physical body. In consequence the human understanding, the human intellect, has become so thin, so threadbare, that it cannot take in the great processes of cosmic evolution. It looks on them as miracles, or says it cannot comprehend them. If the Luciferic influence had not come, and the upbuilding forces in the human body had held the destructive forces in balance, then the human understanding, equipped with all that was intended for it, would have seen into the upbuilding forces, rather as one follows a laboratory experiment. But our understanding is now such that it remains on the surface of things and has no insight into the cosmic depths.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Mystery of Golgotha, Greek, Hebrew and Buddhist Thought","site_heading":"The Phantom Body and Human Ego Consciousness","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 aber wäre alles in der menschlichen Natur im Erdendasein anders geworden; dann gäbe es zum Beispiel keinen solchen Verstand, der die Auferstehung nicht begreifen kann. Denn was ist das für ein Verstand, den der Mensch hat, mit dem er die Auferstehung nicht begreifen kann? Das ist der Verstand, der an das Zerfallen des physischen Leibes gebunden ist, und der so, wie er ist, deshalb besteht, weil der Mensch in sich aufgenommen hat durch den luziferischen Einfluß die Zerstörung des Phantoms des physischen Leibes. Deshalb ist der menschliche Verstand, der menschliche Intellekt so dünn, so fadenscheinig geworden, daß er nicht in sich hereinnehmen kann die großen Prozesse der kosmischen Entwickelung; er sieht sie als Wunder an, oder er sagt, er könne sie nicht begreifen. Wenn der luziferische Einfluß nicht gekommen wäre, wäre der menschliche Verstand durch alles, was ihm zugedacht war, so geworden — wegen der dann im menschlichen Leibe befindlichen aufbauenden Kräfte, die den zerstörenden die Waage gehalten hätten —, daß der Mensch mit dem Verstande einsehen würde den aufbauenden Prozeß, wie man ein Experiment im Laboratorium einsieht.
