During the course of the Earth's evolution, the Moon—which was originally part of the Earth—separated and emerged from the Earth to lead an independent physical existence. Some time after the physical substances of the Moon separated from the Earth, the ancient primeval Teachers of humanity departed to the Moon. While they were on the Earth, these primeval Teachers had not incarnated in physical bodies, but only in etheric bodies. Hence the nature of their influence upon human beings was imaginative, inspirational. And all the wonderful teachings which were given in a more poetic form and contained in legends and sagas, originated in a majestic, primeval wisdom imparted by these ancient Teachers on the Earth. But the essential nature of these Teachers enabled them to withdraw to the Moon which has since been their habitation.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VI","site_heading":"Cosmic Karma: Planetary Spheres and Human Destiny","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.

Ich habe das erst vor kurzem hier dargestellt, wie der Mond aus der Erde herausgegangen ist und ein selbständiges physisches Dasein gebildet hat. Aber auch das habe ich schon erwähnt, daß einige Zeit nachdem der Mond seine physische Natur von der Erde getrennt hat, nachgezogen sind die ganz alten Urlehrer der Menschheit, die, solange sie auf der Erde waren, nicht in einem physischen Leib verkörpert waren, sondern nur in einem ätherischen Leib. Sie wirken daher imaginierend, inspirierend auf die Menschen ein. Und alle die wunderbaren Lehren, die in ein mehr poetisches Gewand gehüllt sind, die in den Sagen der Völker enthalten sind, die rühren her von einer auf der Erde vorhandenen großartigen, majestätischen Urweisheit, die von den Urlehrern der Menschheit erteilt wurde. Aber diese Urlehrer konnten sich vermöge ihrer Natur zurückziehen nach dem Monde, und da leben sie seither.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":182,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/240/1924-06-01/p009"}],"english":["GA 240/1924-06-01/p008"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":182,"en_words":148,"ratio":0.81,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6516,"original_word_count":6430,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"D.
