We see how, with the blossoming of the power of the I, which we can observe in Greek philosophy in Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, beginning with Thales and Heraclitus, we see how, alongside the blossoming of the power of the I through Greek philosophy, something else is taking place. As the powers of human thought are blossoming in Thales, Heraclitus, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, we see, from about the same time, the powers of the so-called Sibyls spreading throughout the whole of the then civilized part of the earth, showing themselves here and there. These Sibyls, which appear alongside the emergence of philosophy, represent how chaos is to penetrate into the forces of the I. We see how, on the one hand, what such Sibyls proclaim can give rise to truth, to good prophecy, and, on the other hand, misunderstandings, deceptive, disorderly ego-forces that speak out of the Sibyls. How the chaotic-earthly speaks out of the Sibyls was wonderfully portrayed by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel, out of tradition. It can be seen in the gestures of the individual Sibyls how the disorder of the ego-forces worked through them, expressing itself in the most diverse ways.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Wir sehen, wie beim Aufblühen der Ich-Kraft, die wir beobachten können in der griechischen Philosophie bei Sokrates, Plato, Aristoteles-schon von Thales, Heraklit angefangen -, wir sehen, wie neben dem Aufblühen der Ich-Kraft durch die griechische Philosophie etwas anderes einhergeht; als die Kräfte des menschlichen Gedankens in Thales, Heraklit, in Sokrates, Plato, Aristoteles aufblühen, sehen wir ungefähr von demselben Zeitpunkte an sich über den ganzen damals kultivierten Teil der Erde verbreitend, da und dort sich zeigend, die Kräfte der sogenannten Sibyllen. Diese Sibyllen, die als Parallelerscheinung neben der Entstehung der Philosophie einhergehen, sie stellen dar, wie hereindringen soll das Chaos in die Ich-Kräfte. Wir sehen, wie auf der einen Seite aus dem, was solche Sibyllen verkünden, hervorgehen kann Wahres, Gut-Prophetisches, auf der anderen Seite Mißverständnisse, trügerische, ungeordnete Ich-Kräfte, die aus den Sibyllen sprechen. Wie das Chaotisch-Irdische aus den Sibyllen spricht, das hat in wunderbarer Weise später aus der Tradition heraus Michelangelo dargestellt in der Sixtinischen Kapelle. Bis in die Darstellung der Gebärde hinein ist es zu sehen, wie durch die einzelnen Sibyllen das Ungeordnete der Ich-Kräfte wirkte, die auf die mannigfaltigste Weise zum Ausdruck kommen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":222,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-05-27/p017"}],"english":["GA 152/1914-05-27/p017"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":222,"en_words":233,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5623,"original_word_count":5431,"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/SOL2024/19140527.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.
