One-half of the answer may be easily given as follows: If those higher forces went on working in the same way, man would be always a child. He would not attain the full ego-consciousness. From within his own being must proceed the motive power which previously worked on him from without. But there is a more important reason which explains still more clearly the mysteries of human life, and that is the following:","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture I","site_heading":null,"date":null,"location":null,"word_count":95,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l01/p015?edition=ASGB1921","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":null,"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["AP1992","ASGB1921"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l01/p015"},{"lang":"en","edition":"AP1992","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l01/p015","paragraph_aligned":true},{"lang":"en","edition":"ASGB1921","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":false,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/15/l01/p015?edition=ASGB1921","paragraph_aligned":true}],"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"l01","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 15/l01/p010","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l01/p010"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":281,"en_words":281,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Wenn jene höheren Kräfte in derselben Weise weiterwirkten, würde der Mensch immer Kind bleiben; er würde nicht zum vollen Ich-Bewußtsein kommen. Es muß in seine eigene Wesenheit verlegt werden, was vorher von außen gewirkt hat. Aber es gibt einen bedeutungsvolleren Grund, der noch mehr aufklären kann als das eben Gesagte über die Geheimnisse des Menschenlebens; und das ist der folgende. Durch die Geisteswissenschaft kann erfahren werden, daß der menschliche Leib, wie er im gegenwärtigen Erdenentwickelungsstadium ist, als ein Gewordenes betrachtet werden muß, das aus anderen Zuständen sich zu seiner gegenwärtigen Form fortgebildet hat. Dem Kenner der Geisteswissenschaft ist bekannt, daß diese Evolution sich so vollzogen hat, daß auf die Gesamtwesenheit des Menschen verschiedene Kräfte gewirkt haben; gewisse Kräfte auf den physischen Leib, andere auf den Ätherleib, und andere auf den Astralleib. Die menschliche Wesenheit ist zu ihrer gegenwärtigen Form dadurch gekommen, daß auf sie jene Wesenheiten gewirkt haben, die wir die luziferischen und die ahrimanischen nennen. Durch diese Kräfte ist die menschliche Wesenheit in einer gewissen Weise schlechter geworden, als sie dann hätte werden müssen, wenn nur diejenigen Kräfte wirksam gewesen wären, die von den geistigen Weltenlenkern kommen, welche den Menschen in einer geraden Weise weiter entwickeln wollen. Es ist ja die Ursache der Leiden, der Krankheiten und auch des Todes darin zu suchen, daß außer den Wesenheiten, welche den Menschen in einer geraden Linie vorwärts entwickeln, noch die luziferischen und die ahrimanischen walten, welche die geradlinige Vorwärtsentwickelung stets durchkreuzen. In dem, was der Mensch durch die Geburt ins Dasein hereinbringt, liegt etwas, das besser ist als dasjenige, was in späterem Leben der Mensch daraus machen kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":281,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/15/l01/p010"}],"english":["GA 15/l01/p015","GA 15/l01/p016"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":281,"en_words":281,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6442,"original_word_count":6235,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"status":"unknown","warning":"No translator is recorded for this edition.
