This again is the shattering tragedy, my dear friends. Here upon earth, materialism is increasing. The human beings—and above all the most advanced, the cleverest among them—are of such a kind as to deny the Spiritual. They begin to laugh in scorn at the idea that Spiritual Beings should be in their environment no less than physical human beings. During this time in which materialism has been expanding on the earth, more and more Angels are descending and living on the earth. They themselves join in; for it was they who at certain times, when a human consciousness became impaired and dull, incorporated themselves and worked on earth. A large number of Angeloi-Beings refrain and hold themselves aloof; but those who by their karma as Angeloi stand nearest to the Ahrimanic powers, do not hold back; at certain times they incorporate themselves in men; they dive down into human beings.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XI.

In dieser Zeit, in der sich der Materialismus ausbreitet, steigen immer mehr und mehr Engel herunter und leben auf der Erde. Sie tun mit. Gerade sie sind es, die in gewissen Zeiten, wo das menschliche Bewußtsein getrübt ist, sich inkorporieren und auf Erden wirken. Eine große Anzahl von Wesen der Angeloi hält sich zurück, aber diejenigen, die nach ihrem Angeloikarma am nächsten stehen den ahrimanischen Gewalten, die halten sich nicht zurück, die inkorporieren sich in Menschen, tauchen unter in Menschen zu gewissen Zeiten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":165,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/237/1924-08-08/p025"}],"english":["GA 237/1924-08-08/p030"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":165,"en_words":189,"ratio":1.15,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.16,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6477,"original_word_count":5591,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"George Adams.
