This creates a very special relationship between the mistletoe and the tree. The tree, which is rooted directly in the earth, processes the forces it draws from the earth. The mistletoe, which is attached to the tree, processes what the tree gives it, using the tree as earth, so to speak. It artificially causes what, in the case of growths, is an overgrowth of the etheric organization when it occurs without the mistletoe. The mistletoe takes from the tree what it only gives when it has too little physical matter, when the etheric in it overgrows. An overgrowing etheric substance draws itself from the tree into the mistletoe. Understanding this internally tells us — the mistletoe now processed in such a way that it can really transfer this etheric substance wrested from the tree to the human being, which under certain circumstances is done by means of injections — this tells us: As an external substance, mistletoe takes over what is proliferating etheric substance in carcinoma, reinforced by the fact that it pushes back the physical substance, the effect of the astral body, and thereby causes the tumor of the carcinoma to crumble, to disintegrate. So when we introduce the mistletoe substance into the human organism, we are actually introducing the etheric substance of the tree into the human being, and the etheric substance of the tree, transferred to the human being via the mistletoe carrier, has a strengthening effect on the human astral body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Eleventh Lecture","site_heading":"Spiritual Essences of Healing: Kingdom Correspondences and Remedy Action","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.

Dadurch entsteht ein ganz besonderes Verhältnis der Mistel zu dem Baum. Der Baum, der direkt in der Erde fundiert ist, verarbeitet in sich die der Erde entnommenen Kräfte. Die Mistel, die an dem Baume aufgesetzt ist, verarbeitet dasjenige, was ihr der Baum gibt, benützt gewissermaßen den Baum als Erde. Sie also verursacht dasjenige künstlich, was bei den Auswüchsen ein Überwuchern der Ätherorganisation ist, wenn es ohne die Mistel auftritt. Die Mistel nimmt dem Baume dasjenige weg, was er nur hergibt, wenn er zu wenig physische Materie hat, wenn das Ätherische in ihm überwuchert. Ein überwucherndes Ätherisches zieht sich von dem Baum aus in die Mistel hinein. Dieses innerlich durchschaut, sagt uns — die Mistel in entsprechender Weise nun so verarbeitet, daß sie dieses dem Baum entrissene Ätherische wirklich auf den Menschen übertragen kann, was unter gewissen Umständen durch Injektionen geschieht -, dieses sagt uns: Die Mistel übernimmt als äußere Substanz dasjenige, was wuchernde Äthersubstanz beim Karzinom ist, verstärkt dadurch, daß sie die physische Substanz zurückdrängt, die Wirkung des astralischen Leibes und bringt dadurch den Tumor des Karzinoms zum Aufbröckeln, zum In-sich-Zerfallen. So daß, wenn wir die Mistelsubstanz in den menschlichen Organismus hineinbringen, wir tatsächlich die Äthersubstanz des Baumes in den Menschen hineinbringen, und die Äthersubstanz des Baumes also, auf dem Wege durch den Mistelträger in den Menschen übergeführt, wirkt verstärkend auf den astralischen Leib des Menschen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":268,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/319/1924-08-29/p022"}],"english":["GA 319/1924-08-29/p022"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":268,"en_words":285,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6651,"original_word_count":6388,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"RSPC1939","book_title":"An Outline of Anthroposophical Medical Research","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Publishing Co.","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA319/English/RSPC1939/19240829p01.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.
