Mephisto is standing there and must take part in this battle. He instructs his devils because he senses something. What does he actually sense? Yes, he knows the trinity as a soul quality. But that is not capable of grasping the I-unity. He does not believe that in Faust the I-unity is so strong that it holds the trinity together. That is his great error. While he is actually always talking about the trinity of the soul, the unity of the soul is asserted at this moment from the spiritual world, holding everything together. If this unity, this unity of the ego, were not there, the lemures would be able to draw the soul of the physical body to themselves, without it having remained connected to the whole world, to the whole cosmos. The Dürrteufel would be able to grasp the soul, the genius. But because they are held together by the ego in the human being between birth and death, each one goes its way: the body to the earth, the etheric body to the etheric region, that which is soul to the spiritual region, but they remain destined for each other. There remains a connection. And as soon as the connection, which is brought about by the character of the ego, is there, the devil can do nothing. But he is positioning himself quite correctly.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"12.

Der Mephisto steht da, muß diesen Kampf mitmachen. Er weist seine Teufel an, denn er wittert etwas. Was wittert er denn eigentlich? Ja, er kennt die Dreiheit als Seelisches. Aber das ist nicht fähig, die Ich-Einheit zu erfassen. Er glaubt nicht, daß beim Faust die Ich-Einheit so stark ist, daß sie die Dreiheit zusammenhält. Das ist sein großer Irrtum, Während er eigentlich immer von der Dreiheit der Seele redet, wird geltend gemacht in diesem Moment die Einheit des Seelischen von der geistigen Welt aus, die alles zusammenhält. Würde diese Einheit, diese Ich-Einheit nicht da sein, da würden die Lemuren das Geistige des physischen Leibes, ohne daß es im Zusammenhang geblieben wäre mit der Gesamtwelt, mit dem Gesamtkosmos, für sich an sich ziehen können, es würden die Dürrteufel die Seele fassen können, das Genie. Aber weil sie beim Erdenmenschen durch das Ich zusammengehalten werden zwischen der Geburt und dem Tod, geht zwar ein jedes seinen Weg: der Leib zur Erde, der Atherleib in die Ätherregion, dasjenige, was Seele ist, in die geistige Region, aber sie bleiben füreinander bestimmt. Es bleibt ein Zusammenhang. Und sobald der Zusammenhang, der durch den Charakter des Ich hervorgerufen wird, da ist, kann der Teufel nichts machen. Aber er stellt sich ganz richtig an.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":227,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/272/1916-09-04/p073"}],"english":["GA 272/1916-09-04/p073"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":227,"en_words":249,"ratio":1.1,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6892,"original_word_count":6568,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Faust, the Striving Human Being","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA272/English/SOL2024/19160904p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
