Wir können nur dann uns überzeugen, was sie da tun, wenn wir bis zu einem gewissen Grade hellsichtiger Beobachtung aufsteigen, so daß wir sehen, was in unserem astralischen Leibe drinnen sich abspielt. Also bis zu einem gewissen Grade wenigstens der imaginativen Erkenntnis muß aufgestiegen werden, wenn die angedeutete Frage beantwortet werden soll. Dann zeigt sich, daß diese Wesenheiten aus der Hierarchie der Angeloi - und in gewisser Weise jeder einzelne der Angeloi, der für jeden Menschen gewissermaßen seine Aufgabe hat, aber auch namentlich durch ihr Zusammenwirken - Bilder im menschlichen astralischen Leibe formen. Unter der Anleitung der Geister der Form formen sie Bilder. Wenn man nicht aufsteigt zur imaginativen Erkenntnis, so weiß man nicht, daß fortwährend in unserem Astralleib Bilder geformt werden. Sie entstehen und vergehen, diese Bilder. Würden diese Bilder nicht geformt, so gäbe es keine Entwickelung der Menschheit in die Zukunft hinein, die den Absichten der Geister der Form entspricht. Was die Geister der Form mit uns bis zum Ende der Erdenentwickelung weiter erreichen wollen, das müssen sie zuerst in Bildern entwickeln, und aus diesen Bildern wird dann später die umgestaltete Menschheit, die Wirklichkeit. Und diese Bilder in unserem astralischen Leibe formen heute schon die Geister der Form durch die Engel. Die Engel formen im menschlichen astralischen Leib Bilder, Bilder, die man mit dem zur Hellsichtigkeit entwickelten Denken erreichen kann. Und man kann diese Bilder, welche die Engel in unserem astralischen Leibe formen, verfolgen. Dann zeigt sich, daf3 diese Bilder nach ganz bestimmten Impulsen, nach ganz bestimmten Prinzipien geformt werden. Und zwar so werden sie geformt, daß in der Art, wie diese Bilder entstehen, gewissermaßen Kräfte für die zukünftige EntwickeJung der Menschheit liegen. Wenn man - so sonderbar es klingt, man muß das so ausdrücken - die Engel bei dieser ihrer Arbeit betrachtet, so haben diese Engel bei dieser ihrer Arbeit eine ganz bestimmte Absicht für die künftige soziale Gestaltung des Menschenlebens auf Erden; und sie wollen solche Bilder in den menschlichen astralischen Leibern erzeugen, welche ganz bestimmte soziale Zustände im menschlichen Zusammenleben der Zukunft herbeiführen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":346,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/182/1918-10-09_02/p014"}],"english":["GA 182/1918-10-09_02/p023","GA 182/1918-10-09_02/p024","GA 182/1918-10-09_02/p025"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":346,"en_words":285,"ratio":0.82,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.94,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6951,"original_word_count":7380,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":null,"publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA182/English/Singles/19181009p02.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
