And now you can also transfer this to a special phenomenon such as cosmic hatred finding its way into the human soul. And we know, of course, that in the spiritual realm, as in the natural realm, we have to speak of certain polarities. How did that which is cosmic reason enter into language? Today humanity is no longer creative in language; it was creative in language; what appears in languages today are only residues. How did that cosmic reason enter into the human soul, how did it become individual? If we seek to answer this question, we come to all that we call the Ahrimanic. And how does something like the appearance of hatred enter the human soul from the cosmic? Here we come to the Luciferic, which is the opposite pole to the Ahrimanic. Today's man is ashamed to speak of Ahriman and Lucifer, while he is not ashamed to speak of positive or negative electricity or positive or negative magnetism. But the fact that he is ashamed is based only on a modern superstition.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Fourth Lecture","site_heading":"Bridging Materialism and Spirituality Through Spiritual Science","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.

Und wir wissen ja, es muß auf geistigem Gebiete ähnlich wie auf natürlichem Gebiete gesprochen werden von gewissen Polaritäten. Wie ist dasjenige hereingekommen, was kosmische Vernunft ist in der Sprache? Heute ist die Menschheit nicht mehr sprachschöpferisch, sie war sprachschöpferisch; was heute in den Sprachen auftritt, sind nur Residuen. Wie ist in die Menschenseele jene kosmische Vernunft hereingedrungen, wie ist sie individuell geworden? Suchen wir uns diese Frage zu beantworten, so kommen wir zu alle dem, was wir das Ahrimanische nennen. Und wie dringt aus dem Kosmischen so etwas herein wie die Erscheinung des Hasses in der Menschenseele? Da kommen wir auf das dem Ahrimanischen polarisch entgegengesetzte Luziferische. Der heutige Mensch schämt sich, von Ahriman und Luzifer zu sprechen, während er sich nicht schämt, von positiver oder negativer Elektrizität oder positivem oder negativem Magnetismus zu reden. Das aber, daß er sich schämt, ist eben nur beruhend auf einem modernen Aberglauben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":187,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/184/1918-09-13/p017"}],"english":["GA 184/1918-09-13/p017"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":187,"en_words":197,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7899,"original_word_count":7625,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Polarity of Duration and Development","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA184/English/SOL2024/19180913p01.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.
