We will only recognize the processes going on in the world in their true essence if we can explore them from the soul's point of view. In this way we remember, as was asserted yesterday, how the spiritual science meant here seeks its methods and spiritual insights through the inner development of the soul. And once again I would like to briefly point out what is developed within the human soul, how this human soul being is brought further than in ordinary life and in ordinary science, in order to enter into the insights of the spiritual world. I have already pointed out how the head develops, how we see in the child, as it enters the world, how from day to day, from year to year, an inner soul-spiritual element pushes its way to the surface. We see how the features of the child's face become more and more soulful, more and more spiritual, how something is at work in there that is shaping the human being into the surface in a plastic way. We may only sense it, but an unbiased observation that delves deeper into things sees through it, that what is expressed, I might say, in the features of the face extends further into the child's organism. And yesterday I pointed out that the most intense expression of what is happening through this plastic shaping of the human body by the soul and spirit is the change of teeth, the eruption of the second teeth that take the place of the milk teeth. The formation of these second teeth shows most strikingly how, in the first seven years of life, the human organism rapidly hardens. Then, when the child has grown teeth, the images take shape, they can become lasting memories; they take on contours. At that moment in human life, when the forces that have been working within the organism until the seventh year have in a certain way fulfilled their task for the organism, the change of teeth occurs. Then those forces that have been working in the organism until the change of teeth come into their freedom. They show themselves in their spiritual and soul form; they then work in human memory and in human thinking. The same thing with which we think, with which we form our memory, has worked in our organism as the human plastic artist until the age of seven; it has brought it about that the dental substance has separated out of the wholeness of the human organic substance, if I may suggest it so aphoristically; otherwise, in order to explain the matter fully, one would have to give many lectures on this change of teeth.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":482,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/334/1920-05-05/p018","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"From a Unitary State to the Tripartite Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA334/English/SOL2024/19200505s01.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.

This spiritual science teaches us to recognize the human organism! It is the fate of materialism that it cannot recognize matter, that it tells us nothing about matter. Spiritual science tells us precisely about matter such things as I have now indicated in the work of that which later becomes thought movement, in the human organism up to the seventh year. If one could go into the details, one would see how the soul and spiritual work in the human organs, in the liver, lungs, kidneys, and so on. Spiritual science will bring real knowledge of material processes because it is able to explain these material processes from the spiritual.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":171,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/334/1920-05-05/p019","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"From a Unitary State to the Tripartite Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA334/English/SOL2024/19200505s01.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.

Die Prozesse draußen in der Welt, wir werden sie nur in ihrer wahren Wesenheit erkennen, wenn wir sie von der Seelenwesenheit aus erforschen können. Da erinnern wir uns, wie gestern geltend gemacht worden ist, wie die hier gemeinte Geisteswissenschaft durch innere Seelenentwickelung ihre Methoden, ihre geistigen Erkenntnisse sucht. Und noch einmal will ich kurz hinweisen auf dasjenige, was da im Innern der menschlichen Seele heranentwickelt wird, wie dieses menschliche Seelenwesen weiter gebracht wird, als im gewöhnlichen Leben und in der gewöhnlichen Wissenschaft, um einzutreten in die Anschauungen der geistigen Welt. Ich habe darauf hingewiesen, wie das Haupt sich entwickelt, wie wir in dem Kinde sehen, indem es in die Welt hereintritt, wie von Tag zu Tag, von Jahr zu Jahr ein inneres Seelisch-Geistiges sich an die Oberfläche drängt. Wir sehen, wie die Züge des kindlichen Antlitzes immer seelischer, immer geistiger werden, wie da drinnen etwas arbeitet, das an die Oberfläche heraus plastisch das Menschenwesen gestaltet. Wir ahnen vielleicht nur, aber ein unbefangenes Beobachten, das weiter in die Dinge eingeht, durchschaut es, daß dasjenige, was sich so, ich möchte sagen, in den Zügen des Antlitzes ausdrückt, sich weiter hinein erstreckt in die kindliche Organisation. Und ich habe gestern darauf aufmerksam gemacht, wie der intensivste Ausdruck desjenigen, was da geschieht durch dieses plastische Durchgestalten des Menschenleibes von dem Seelisch-Geistigen, der Zahnwechsel ist, das Herausdringen der zweiten Zähne ist, die an die Stelle der Milchzähne treten. Diese zweiten Zähne zeigen in ihrer Bildung am markantesten, am auffälligsten, wie in den ersten sieben Lebensjahren der menschliche Organismus in seine Verhärtung schießt. Dann, wenn das Kind die Zähne bekommen hat, bekommen die Vorstellungen Gestalt, sie können bleibende Erinnerungen werden; sie bekommen Konturen. In dem Augenblicke des menschlichen Lebens, wo die Kräfte, die im Innern des Organismus bis zum siebenten Lebensjahre gewirkt haben ihre Aufgabe für den Organismus in einer gewissen Weise erfüllt haben, ist der Zahnwechsel da. Dann kommen diejenigen Kräfte, die im Organismus gewirkt haben bis zum Zahnwechsel hin, in ihre Freiheit. Sie zeigen sich in ihrer geistig-seelischen Gestalt; sie wirken dann im menschlichen Erinnerungsvermögen, im menschlichen Denkvermögen. Dasselbe, womit wir denken, womit wir unsere Erinnerung bilden, das hat bis zu unserem siebenten Lebensjahre in unserem Organismus als der menschliche Plastiker gearbeitet; das hat es dahin gebracht, daß aus der Ganzheit der menschlichen organischen Substanz die Zahnsubstanz sich abgesondert hat, wenn ich es so aphoristisch andeuten darf, sonst müßte man, um die Sache ganz zu erklären, viele Vorträge über diesen Zahnwechsel halten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":451,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/334/1920-05-05/p018"},{"locus":"GA 334/1920-05-05/p019","passage_number":19,"text":"Sehen Sie, es ist nur eine kleine Probe, aber eben eine Probe davon, wie Geisteswissenschaft nicht im Wolkenkuckucksheim irgendwie sich ergehen will, wie sie nicht in mystischen Nebel aufsteigt, sondern wie sie gerade in die Erkenntnis der Wirklichkeit hineindeutet, wie sie zeigt, was als Geistig-Seelisches in den ersten sieben Jahren am menschlichen Organismus arbeitet. Diese Geisteswissenschaft lehrt ja erst den menschlichen Organismus erkennen! Das ist gerade das Schicksal des Materialismus, daß er die Materie nicht erkennen kann, daß er uns nichts sagt über die Materie. Geisteswissenschaft sagt uns gerade über die Materie solche Dinge, wie ich sie jetzt angedeutet habe in dem Arbeiten desjenigen, was später Gedankenbewegung wird, an dem menschlichen Organismus bis zum siebenten Jahre hin. Würde man eingehen können ins Einzelne, Konkrete, so würde man sehen, wie das Geistig-Seelische arbeitet an den menschlichen Organen, an Leber, Lunge, Niere und so weiter.
