They are like absolute amazement about the world. If one wants to describe them, one has to call them complete amazement. For one cannot grasp warmth in any other way than as sheer amazement. Outwardly it is warmth and inwardly it is complete astonishment. It's only because people have become as blockheaded as old Kant was, that they speak of a thing in itself which can't be explained. The thing in itself of warmth is astonishment;' and Saturn man is astonishment just as much as he is warmth. He lived in amazement or astonishment about his own existence, for he was just entering into this existence. This is alpha; the Saturn warmth man who is living in amazement. And the first thing which man experiences as the housing of the world, namely his skin, is beta,—building, this building or house. Man was a man in his house, and the house or temple or skin was the first thing from the world: beta.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"Alpha and Omega: Christ's Manifestation in Apocalyptic Vision","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.

Denn man kann die Wärme nicht anders begreifen denn als reine Verwunderung. Äußerlich ist es Wärme, innerlich wird es empfunden als reine Verwunderung. Bloß weil die Menschen so unendlich tolpatschig geworden sind mit ihren Begriffen, sprechen sie von der Unerklärbarkeit des «Dinges an sich» wie der alte Kant. Das «Ding an sich» der Wärme ist Verwunderung; und der Mensch war als Saturnmensch ebensogut Verwunderung, wie er Wärme war. Er lebte in Verwunderung, in Staunen über sein eigenes Dasein, denn er kam nun erst in dieses Dasein. Das ist Alpha: Der in Verwunderung lebende Wärmemensch, der Saturnmensch.
