In der Griechenzeit ist nicht mehr der Atmungsprozeß und der Zusammenhang mit dem Irdischen das Maßgebende, sondern der Zusammenhang des Blutes, das Stammesgefühl, die Stammesempfindung ist dasjenige, was das Bewußtsein der Gruppenseelenhaftigkeit ergibt. Gruppenseelen fühlte man in der dritten nachatlantischen Zeit im Zusammenhang mit dem Erdenorte. Man stellte sich ja geradezu auch vor in dieser dritten nachatlantischen Zeit: Wenn da oder dort ein Heiligtum ist, so ist der Gott darin, der die Gruppenseele darstellt -, der war an den Ort gebunden. Das hörte auf während der Griechenzeit. Da begann mit dem Erdenbewußtsein, mit der ganzen Verfassung, die an die Erde mit allem menschlichen Fühlen und Empfinden im ganzen menschlichen Instinktleben gebunden war, dieses Gefühl für die Zusammengehörigkeit im Blute. So daß der Mensch dann ganz auf die Erde herunter versetzt war. Er sah nicht mehr mit seinem Bewußtsein über die Erde hinaus, sondern fühlte sich mit seinem Stamm, mit seinem Volk zusammengehörig im Blute. Und wie steht es mit uns in der fünften nachatlantischen Periode? Es ergibt sich fast aus dem Schematismus, den ich da ganz sachgemäß entworfen habe. Ja, wir sind in die Erde hereingekrochen. Wir sind bar geworden der außerirdischen Kräfte, wir leben auch nicht mehr und sollen nicht mehr leben mit den bloßen Erdenkräften, die im Blute vibrieren, sondern wir sind abhängig geworden von Kräften, die unter der Erde sind.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":229,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/222/1923-03-23/p031"}],"english":["GA 222/1923-03-23/p031","GA 222/1923-03-23/p032"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":229,"en_words":237,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5292,"original_word_count":5209,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy S.
