Today we will confine our discussion to normal conditions. Had it depended upon Lucifer and Ahriman, quite a different state would have existed as early as the Atlantean period. Every single human organ would have been self- seeking, and the results most extraordinary. Assume, for example, that the human being looked at a fruit or something else in the outer world that can be eaten, or that stands in some sort of relation to his vital organs. Someday these relations of the outer world with our organs will be the subject of genuine scientific study. If the other sciences allow themselves to be aligned with spiritual science, it will be known that when a human being gathers cherries from a tree and eats them, something enters with the cherries that is related to a particular organ; other fruits are related to other organs.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Four Sacrifices of Christ","site_heading":null,"date":"1914-06-01","location":null,"word_count":166,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/152/1914-06-01/p012","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"May Laird-Brown","identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"The Four Sacrifices of Christ","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA152/English/Singles/19140601p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["English"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-06-01/p012"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/152/1914-06-01/p012","paragraph_aligned":true}],"record":{"record_type":"unknown","scope":"volume","note":"How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here.

Wäre es nur auf Ahriman und Luzifer angekommen, so wären ganz andere Zustände eingetreten schon in der atlantischen Entwickelung. Jedes einzelne menschliche Organ wäre selbstsüchtig geworden und etwas ganz Merkwürdiges hätte sich ereignet. Nehmen wir an, der Mensch näherte sich irgendeiner Frucht, also etwas, was in der Außenwelt ist und was von uns genossen werden kann oder was in irgendeiner Beziehung zu unserer Leibesorganisation steht. Es wird einmal gerade diese Beziehung zu unseren Lebensorganen ein Gegenstand des medizinischen Studiums sein, wenn die Wissenschaft sich wird anregen lassen von der Geisteswissenschaft. Dann wird man wissen, daß, wenn der Mensch zum Beispiel sich Kirschen pflückt vom Baum und sie ißt, gerade das, was mit den Kirschen in die Organisation übergeht, eine besondere Beziehung zu gewissen Organen hat, andere Früchte haben andere Beziehungen zu andern Organen. Alles was in die menschliche Organisation hineinkommt, hat gewisse Beziehungen zu dieser Organisation. Wenn das erfüllt worden wäre, was durch Ahriman und Luzifer hätte geschehen sollen in der atlantischen Zeit, dann hätten wir zum Beispiel Kirschen gepflückt, und im höchsten Maße hätte das Organ, das zu den Kirschen Beziehung hat, eine Gier gehabt. Eine unendliche Gier wäre da zum Ausdruck gekommen, und der Mensch hätte gespürt das betreffende Organ, das selbstsüchtig sich herausstellen würde aus dem Gesamtorganismus, aber die andern Organe würden dafür ebenso selbstsüchtig dagegen streiten in seinem Organismus. Oder nehmen wir einen andern Fall: es sei irgend etwas da, was dem Menschen schädlich ist. Geradeso wie die Dinge der Außenwelt gewisse Beziehungen zum Menschen haben im guten Sinn, so haben andere Dinge der Außenwelt nachteilige Beziehungen. Wenn der Mensch sich irgendeiner giftigen Pflanze näherte oder etwas anderem, was nur nachteilige Beziehungen zu diesem oder jenem Organ hätte, so würde er diese Beziehung durch die innere Tätigkeit des Organes spüren, und dies würde sich ausdrücken in einem furchtbaren, quälenden Angstgefühl. Der Mensch würde fühlen: vor ihm ist etwas, was da auf sein Organ so wirkt, daß es sich gleichsam ausgebrannt fühlt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":352,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/152/1914-06-01/p011"}],"english":["GA 152/1914-06-01/p012","GA 152/1914-06-01/p013"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":352,"en_words":299,"ratio":0.85,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 152/1914-06-01/p011"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.87,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4842,"original_word_count":5593,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"May Laird-Brown","identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"The Four Sacrifices of Christ","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA152/English/Singles/19140601p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 152/1914-06-01/p011"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
