We will here keep before us exceedingly important concepts. Now it can be said that when we go back in the evolution of man we discover—and I have often described this—that in ancient days men had more of the group-soul, and that the individual souls were membered into what was group-soul. You can read about this in various cycles:[^1] we can then diagrammatically represent human evolution and say: in olden days there were group-souls and each of these split up (it would appear thus to soul perception but different for the perception of the spirit). But each of these souls clothed itself with a body that here in this figure I indicate with red strokes.

Sie können das in verschiedenen Zyklen lesen. Dann könnte man schematisch die Entwickelung der Menschheit so darstellen, daß man sagt: In alten Zeiten gab es Gruppenseelen; jede dieser Gruppenseelen spaltete sich wiederum —- das würde für eine bloße seelische Anschauung sein, für eine geistige wäre es etwas anders -, aber jede solche Seele umkleidet sich mit einem Leibe, den ich hier in der Form mit einem roten Strich andeute (siehe Zeichnung Seite 114).","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":141,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/183/1918-08-26/p035"}],"english":["GA 183/1918-08-26/p032"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":141,"en_words":134,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8236,"original_word_count":7984,"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/LRZ254/19180826p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
