Now we come, in addition, to the Spirits of the Rotation of Time, the rulers or regulators of the epochs. We have now reached a position in which we can allude to the functions of a certain category of such Spirits of the Rotation of Time. At this point we can state that certain Spirits of the Rotation of Time unite the forces of movement coming down from the planets to the plants that work spirally with the forces which come down from the sun. Both these forces are brought together at a definite time by the Spirits of the Rotation of Time, and indeed at that time of the year when the plant progresses towards its fructification. The spiral principle of movement is united with the principle which works in the stalk.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture IX","site_heading":"Planetary Spirits and the Evolution of Animal Forms","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.

Bei dem Pflanzenreich sehen wir, daß schon der astralische Leib auf dem astralischen Plan zu finden ist, dort wo zu finden ist das tierische Gruppen-Ich. Das führt wiederum auf die reale Tatsache zurück, die sich dem okkulten Blick zeigt, daß für die Pflanzen nicht nur im Gruppen-Ich, sondern schon in dem astralischen Leib der Pflanze Kräfte wirken, welche nun auch von dem Planetensystem, von den Sternen her wirken. Während beim Tier also erst in den Gruppenkräften, in den Kräften, die die Gruppenformen schaffen, die Geister der Bewegung wirken, wirkt schon auf den pflanzlichen astralischen Leib dasselbe, was zur Sphäre der Geister der Bewegung gehört. Nachkommen der Geister der Bewegung sind auch solche, nur unterscheiden sie sich dadurch von den anderen Nachkommen, daß sie sich zu einer etwas anderen Zeit gebildet haben, aber sie wirken ebenso als Nachkommen der Geister der Bewegung auf den astralischen Leib der Pflanzen, nicht bloß auf das Ich. Wiederum können wir nämlich sagen, daß auf den astralischen Leib der Pflanzen von den Planeten des Planetensystems her die Kräfte der Geister der Bewegung oder ihrer Nachkommen wirken. Der astralische Leib ist nämlich bei jedem Wesen dasjenige, was den Impuls gibt zur Bewegung. Auf dem physischen Plan haben wir von der Pflanze den physischen und Ätherleib. Wenn auf die Pflanze irgendwelche Kräfte aus der Sphäre der Geister der Bewegung wirkten, so würden diese Kräfte, weil der astralische Leib nicht in der Pflanze drinnen ist, sondern sie umspült, die Pflanze zur Bewegung bringen, aber jetzt nicht so, wie Menschen und Tiere sich bewegen, sondern so, daß sie die Pflanze, wie sie zuerst entsteht, von der Erde wegholen. Wenn Sie sehen, wie sich an einer Pflanze die Kräfte wie in Spiralen von Blattansatz zu Blattansatz weiterentwickeln, dann haben Sie die Tätigkeit dieser Kräfte, welche von den Planeten hereinwirken. Und je nachdem von diesem oder jenem Planeten herein die Kräfte der Nachkommen der Geister der Bewegung wirken, wird diese eigentümliche Linie, welche die Blätter ansetzt, anders.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":347,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/136/1912-04-13/p015"}],"english":["GA 136/1912-04-13/p014","GA 136/1912-04-13/p015","GA 136/1912-04-13/p016"],"method":"embedding","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":347,"en_words":937,"ratio":2.7,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8038,"original_word_count":7750,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"SBC1981","book_title":"Spiritual Beings in the Heavenly Bodies and in the Kingdoms of Nature","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA136/English/SBC1981/19120413p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
