Today, people often assume that the soul constitution, and those states of consciousness in which modern man finds himself in waking and sleeping, have always belonged to humanity, at least essentially, since human history began. At most, the world view arrived at in natural scientific cosmology points back to a primitive half-animal-like form possessed by early humanity, as we shall be discussing presently. Such a being's inner nature would of course have to be pictured as different from the thinking, feeling and willing of today's human being. But the transformations that man's consciousness, his whole inner soul structure, have passed through since the primeval times of earth evolution, are rarely pointed out today; yet in these transformations there lies something immensely important and substantial.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"7.

Höchstens, daß man im naturwissenschaftlich-kosmologischen Weltbilde zurückweist auf primitive, halb tierähnliche Gestaltungen der früheren Menschheit — wir werden davon noch zu sprechen haben -, in denen natürlich auch das menschliche Innere anders vorgestellt werden müsse in bezug auf Denken, Fühlen und Wollen als das eines heutigen Menschen.
