At that time, the twelve cosmic forces that act on man threatened to be thrown into disorder by demonic beings. As a result, man would have had to develop quite differently from what he has become today. The senses of man, which were developing at that time, would have become overly sensitive under the effect of the forces that were about to fall into disorder. Today, man is able to perceive light and all other perceptions calmly. Under the effect of the Luciferic-Ahrimanic impact, the life of the senses would have had to trigger the strongest desires and impulses. If, for example, the human being had seen a red color – and this is how the sun's rays would have had to have worked – the desiring soul would have had to flee in burning pain, and upon perceiving blue, it would have had to overcome itself in agony, consumed by itself. The soul would have had to suffer terribly with every sensory perception, hunted by animal lust and desire for scorching pain and agony.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"I.

Es drohte in jener Zeit, daß die zwölf kosmischen Kräfte, die auf den Menschen wirken, durch dämonische Wesen in Unordnung gerieten. Dadurch hätte sich der Mensch ganz anders entwickeln müssen, als er heute geworden ist. Die Sinne des Menschen, die sich damals herausbildeten, sie wären unter der Wirkung der in Unordnung geratenwollenden Kräfte überempfindlich geworden. Die Lichtempfindung, alle Wahrnehmung vermag heute der Mensch in Gelassenheit aufzunehmen. Unter der Wirkung des luziferisch-ahrimanischen Einschlags hätte das Sinnesleben die stärksten Begierden und Impulse auslösen müssen. Hätte der Mensch zum Beispiel eine rote Farbe gesehen- und so hätten vor allem die Sonnenstrahlen wirken müssen, so hätte in brennendem Schmerz die begehrende Seele fliehen müssen, und bei der Wahrnehmung von Blau hätte sie sich, in sich verzehrend, in Qual überwinden müssen. Die Seele hätte furchtbar leiden müssen bei jeder Sinnesempfindung, gejagt von tierischer Wollust und Begehren zu versengendem Schmerz und Qual.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":189,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-03-05/p007"}],"english":["GA 152/1914-03-05/p007"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":189,"en_words":218,"ratio":1.15,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.12,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2840,"original_word_count":2531,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Prelude to the Mystery of Golgotha","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA152/English/SOL2024/19140305.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
