The Luciferic beings work continuously with the aim of preventing anything that has the tendency to press on into physical materiality, from achieving that end. In the realm of man the Luciferic beings use every opportunity to lift him away from his physical corporeality. Their endeavour is to make man into a purely etheric being possessed of spirit-and-soul. The endeavour of the Ahrimanic beings is to separate from man everything that urges him towards the soul-and-spirit to be developed in the human kingdom. They want to transform into the spiritual the subhuman elements, the instincts and impulses, everything that comes to expression in the body. In their own way both the Luciferic and the Ahrimanic beings want to transform man into the spiritual. But while the Luciferic beings want to draw the soul-and-spirit out of man so that he would cease to concern himself with his earthly incarnations but would like to live as a being of soul-and-spirit only, the Ahrimanic beings would prefer to disregard soul-andspirit entirely and detach from man what has been given him as a sheath, a covering or an instrument in the physical and etheric realm, and bring it all into their own world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Die luziferischen Wesenheiten wirken fortwährend, indem sie dasjenige, was die Tendenz in sich trägt, zur physischen Materialität vorzuschreiten, abbringen wollen von dem Vordringen zur physischen Materialität. Im Bereiche des Menschen wirken die luziferischen Wesenheiten so, daß sie jede Gelegenheit benützen, um den Menschen hinwegzuheben von seiner physischen Körperlichkeit. Die luziferischen Wesenheiten haben das Bestreben, aus dem Menschen ein rein geistig-seelisch-ätherisches Wesen zu machen. Die ahrimanischen Gestalten haben das Bestreben, alles dasjenige von dem Menschen auszusondern, was ihn nach dem Seelisch-Geistigen, wie es nun einmal im Menschenreiche sich entwickeln muß, hinträgt. Sie möchten das Untermenschliche, dasjenige, was in den Trieben, Instinkten und so weiter liegt, was sich in der Körperlichkeit ausdrückt, ins Geistige verwandeln. Ins Geistige den Menschen verwandeln, das ist der Trieb sowohl der luziferischen wie der ahrimanischen Wesenheiten. Nur daß die luziferischen das Geistig-Seelische aus dem Menschen herausziehen wollen, so daß sich der Mensch nicht mehr kümmern würde um seine irdischen Verkörperungen, sondern als geistig-seelisches Wesen leben wollte. Die ahrimanischen Wesenheiten möchten sich am liebsten gar nicht um das Geistig-Seelische des Menschen kümmern, sondern dasjenige, was ihm als Hülle, als Kleid, als Werkzeug im Physischen und Ätherischen gegeben ist, das möchten sie loslösen und in ihre Welt hineinbringen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":252,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/232/1923-11-24/p016"}],"english":["GA 232/1923-11-24/p015"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":252,"en_words":255,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.92,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4946,"original_word_count":5362,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"E.
