But this membering of man according to his senses is so that, even in the diagram, you only need draw in place of the senses the signs of the Zodiac, and you have Ram, Bull, Twins, Cancer, Lion, Virgin, Scales, seven signs for the light side and five for the dark: Scorpion, Archer, Goat, Waterman, Fishes; day, night: night,day, Here you have a perfect parallel between microcosmic man—what is turned towards his senses and what is turned away but really turned towards the senses—and what in the cosmos signifies the change from day to night. In a way the same thing happens to man, as in the cosmic edifice. In the cosmic edifice there is an interchange between day and night, in man there is also the interchange of day and night in his waking and sleeping, even though both may have emancipated themselves from each other for the present cycle of man's consciousness. During the day man is turned towards his day-senses, or we might say to Ram, Bull, Twins, Cancer, Lion, Virgin, Scales, as we might say ego-sense, sense of thinking, speech and so on. Every ego can see that of another man, you can understand the thoughts of another man, you can hear, see, taste, smell—those are day-senses. In the night it is the same with man as when the earth is turned towards the other side; man is turned in the night to his other senses, only these are not yet fully developed. Not until the Venus age will they be so fully developed that they can perceive what is on the other side. They are not yet sufficiently developed to perceive what is towards the other side. This is shrouded by night just as the earth is shrouded when passing by night through the other heavenly bodies, the other pictures of the zodiac. The passage of man through his senses is a perfect parallel with the course—whether you say the course of the sun round the earth or the earth round the sun is immaterial for our purpose; but those things are connected. And with these connections, the wise men of the Old Mysteries were very well acquainted.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"Threefold Man and Cosmic Consciousness Development","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.

Aber diese Gliederung des Menschen nach den Sinnen ist so, daß Sie schon im Schema an die Stelle der Sinne nur zu zeichnen brauchen die Himmelszeichen, so haben Sie: Widder, Stier, Zwillinge, Krebs, Löwe, Jungfrau, Waage — sieben Himmelszeichen für die helle Seite; fünf für die dunkle Seite: Skorpion, Schütze, Steinbock, Wassermann, Fische: Tag, Nacht; Nacht, Tag. Und Sie haben einen vollständigen Parallelismus zwischen dem mikrokosmischen Menschen — dem, was zugewendet ist seinen Sinnen, und dem, was abgewendet ist, aber eigentlich zugewendet ist seinen unteren Sinnen - und zwischen dem, was im äußeren Kosmos den Wechsel bedeutet von Tag und Nacht. Es geht gewissermaßen im Menschen dasselbe vor, was im Weltengebäude vorgeht. Im Weltengebäude wechseln Tag und Nacht, im Menschen wechselt auch Tag und Nacht, nämlich Wachen und Schlafen, wenn sich auch beide voneinander emanzipiert haben für den gegenwärtigen Bewußtseinszyklus des Menschen. Während des Tages ist der Mensch zugewendet den Tagessinnen; wir können ebensogut sagen: Widder, Stier, Zwillinge, Krebs, Löwe, Jungfrau, Waage, wie wir sagen könnten: Ichsinn, Denksinn, Sprachsinn und so weiter. Sie können jedes Ich eines andern Menschen sehen, Sie können die Gedanken des andern Menschen verstehen, Sie können hören, sehen, schmecken, riechen: das sind die Tagessinne. In der Nacht ist der Mensch so, wie sonst die Erde nach der andern Seite gewendet ist, den andern Sinnen zugewendet, nur sind diese noch nicht vollentwickelt. Sie werden erst nach der Venuszeit so voll entwickelt sein, daß sie wahrnehmen können, was da nach der andern Seite ist. Sie sind noch nicht so voll entwickelt, daß sie das wahrnehmen können, was da nach der andern Seite ist. Sie sind in Nacht gehüllt, wie beim Durchgang durch die andern Himmelsregionen, durch die andern Bilder des Tierkreises, die Erde in der Nacht ist. Das Durchschreiten des Menschen durch seine Sinne ist ganz zu parallelisieren mit dem Gang - ob Sie nun sagen der Sonne um die Erde oder der Erde um die Sonne, das ist ja schließlich für diesen Zweck gleichgültig; aber diese Dinge hängen zusammen. Und diese Zusammenhänge kannten die Weisen der alten Mysterien sehr gut.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":363,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/183/1918-08-25/p028"},{"locus":"GA 183/1918-08-25/p029","passage_number":29,"text":"![183-15](images/183-15.webp)","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":0,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/183/1918-08-25/p029"}],"english":["GA 183/1918-08-25/p026"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":363,"en_words":377,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 183/1918-08-25/p028"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6522,"original_word_count":6517,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"LRZ254","book_title":"Mysteries of the Sun and of the Threefold Man","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA183/English/LRZ254/19180825p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
