One understands human intelligence only when one regards it in connection with that which is no longer there at all: the development of the sun, the moon. One understands memory only when one regards it in connection with that which is no longer there at all: the old development of the moon. And from the earth, one only understands the appropriation of sensory activity, of intelligence, of memory by the I, because the I has only been incorporated into the human being during the time on earth. And the organs that have been formed in the human being during the time on earth are not there at all to convey his higher soul abilities, but to convey that these higher soul abilities reveal themselves in an I. We have eyes for an ego, ears for an ego, a nose for an ego, not a nose for smelling, which would be most correct, because it has been formed during the time on earth; but it is also no longer quite correct, because it will change during the time on earth. But we don't have eyes to see and ears to hear; we have ears so that a self can know something of what is going on in the ear, like a Morse telegraph is switched on here so that someone, not the Morse telegraph itself, can know something of what is being negotiated between A and C. By still saying today that we have eyes to see and ears to hear, and by clothing everything in this kind of language, we are talking about something that has no reality at all. We talk constantly in illusions, we talk in untruths. We do not know what we actually have our whole physical organization for. We do not have it to mediate the higher soul activities, but we have it so that the I can learn something from these higher soul activities. Our whole physical being is an image of the I. And we are constituted as we are because we are an I. In our outer form we are meant to become aware of the outer image of the I. For our body, as we now carry it, we have only received through the earth. And it is unthinkable that what the earth has not given us should be derived from the events of the earth, that the cause of it should be sought in the events of the earth.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Thirteenth Lecture","site_heading":"Cosmic Citizenship and the Hierarchies of Human Soul","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.

Man versteht die Intelligenz des Menschen nur, wenn man sie im Zusammenhange betrachtet mit dem, was jetzt gar nicht mehr da ist: Sonnenentwickelung, Mondenentwickelung. Man versteht das Gedächtnis nur, wenn man es betrachtet im Zusammenhange mit dem, was jetzt auch nicht mehr da ist: die alte Mondenentwickelung. Und von der Erde aus versteht man bloß die Aneignung von Sinnestätigkeit, von Intelligenz, von Gedächtnis durch das Ich, denn das Ich ist während der Erdenzeit erst dem Menschen einverleibt worden. Und die Organe, die dem Menschen angebildet worden sind während der Erdenzeit, sind gar nicht dazu da, seine höheren Seelenfähigkeiten zu vermitteln, sondern zu vermitteln, daß diese höheren Seelenfähigkeiten in einem Ich sich offenbaren. Wir haben Augen für ein Ich, Ohren für ein Ich, eine Nase für ein Ich, nicht eine Nase zum Riechen, was noch am allerrichtigsten wäre, weil sie während der Erdenzeit gebildet worden ist; aber es ist auch nicht mehr ganz richtig, da es sich ändern wird während der Erdenzeit. Wir haben aber nicht Augen zum Sehen, Ohren zum Hören, wir haben Ohren, damit ein Ich von dem, was im Ohr vorgeht, etwas wissen kann, wie hier ein Morsetelegraf eingeschaltet ist, damit irgend jemand, nicht der Morsetelegraf selber, etwas wissen kann von dem, was zwischen A und C verhandelt wird. Indem heute noch gesagt wird, wir haben Augen zum Sehen, Ohren zum Hören, und indem alles eingekleidet wird in diese Art der Ausdrucksweise, reden wir etwas, was gar keine Wirklichkeit, gar keine Realität hat. Wir reden fortwährend in Illusionen, wir reden in Unwahrheiten. Wir wissen nicht, wozu wir eigentlich unsere ganze Leibesorganisation haben. Wir haben sie nicht zur Vermittlung der höheren Seelentätigkeiten, sondern wir haben sie, damit das Ich von diesen höheren Seelentätigkeiten etwas erfährt. Unser ganzer leiblicher Mensch ist ein Abbild des Ich. Und wir sind so konstituiert, wie wir konstituiert sind, weil wir ein Ich sind. In unserer äußeren Gestalt sollen wir das äußere Bild des Ich gewahr werden. Denn unseren Leib, wie wir ihn jetzt an uns tragen, haben wir erst durch die Erde bekommen. Und es ist untunlich, daß man dasjenige, was uns nicht die Erde gegeben hat, ableitet von den Geschehnissen der Erde, daß man die Ursache dazu in den Geschehnissen der Erde sucht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":393,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/196/1920-02-13/p016"}],"english":["GA 196/1920-02-13/p016"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":393,"en_words":436,"ratio":1.11,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5176,"original_word_count":4999,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Spiritual and Social Changes in the Development of Humanity","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA196/English/SOL2024/19200213p01.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.
