However, the arms are developed in such a way that if a person had only followed the development of the earth, they could only lower their arms downwards. But since he can also raise them upwards, he can direct them at will towards the lunar evolution, that is to say, with each raising of the arms he gives them a Luciferic character. Therefore, anyone with a fine intuitive perception will feel that every arm movement performed in this way (arms raised forward and upward) has a Luciferic character. Let us bear this in mind and now imagine a person who simultaneously bows his head and raises his hand, but in such a way that these two movements are captured in a human gesture: the person bows his head and raises his arm. This bowing of the head is a counteraction against the luciferianity of the head. The raising of the arm is a bringing of a luciferian element into the arm. But now it is so: by letting Lucifer enter into the arm, and supporting the bowed head with the forehead on the arm, one redeems the Luciferic power flowing through the arm through the counteraction of the Christ-power in the head. One redeems, as it were, Lucifer in the arm through Christ in the head.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Second Lecture","site_heading":"The Four Members and Cosmic-Astral Correspondences","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.

Die Arme aber sind in ihrer normalen Entwickelung so, daß der Mensch, wenn er bloß der Erdenentwickelung gefolgt wäre, die Arme nur nach unten senken könnte. Indem er sie auch nach oben heben kann, lenkt er sie willkürlich zur Mondenentwickelung hin, das heißt, er gibt ihnen mit jeder Erhebung einen luziferischen Charakter. Derjenige, der fein empfinden kann, empfindet daher jede Armbewegung, die so ausgeführt wird (Arme nach vorne und aufwärtsgehoben) als etwas, was luziferischen Charakter hat. Fassen wir das ins Auge, und denken wir uns jetzt einen Menschen, der zugleich das Haupt neigt und die Hand hebt, aber so, daß diese beiden Bewegungen festgehalten werden in einer menschlichen Geste: der Mensch senkt das Haupt und hebt den Arm. Dieses Senken des Hauptes ist ein Entgegenwirken gegen die Luziferität des Kopfes, des Hauptes. Das Heben des Armes ist: ein Luziferisches in die Arme hineinbringen. Aber nun ist es so: Indem man in den Arm hinein Luzifer fahren läßt, und das gesenkte Haupt mit der Stirne auf den Arm stützt, erlöst man die Luziferkraft, die durch den Arm fließt, durch die Gegenwirkung der Christus-Kraft im Haupte. Man erlöst gleichsam Luzifer im Arme durch Christus im Haupte.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":225,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/156/1914-12-13/p036"}],"english":["GA 156/1914-12-13/p037"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":225,"en_words":248,"ratio":1.1,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5971,"original_word_count":5709,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"How Does One Enter the World of Ideas?","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA156/English/SOL2024/19141213p01.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.
