He regards these entities as being below him, and regards himself as a higher being in relation to them. With the Saturn being, the opposite was the case. It had three groups of entities above itself and had to consider itself the lowest link in the realm of what was perceptible to it. In The Secret Science, these three higher groups of entities were given different names, depending on the language of the people and the time to which the secret teachers belonged. The designations of Christian esoteric science, listed from top to bottom, are: dominions (Kyriotetes), powers (Dynamis) and authorities (Exusiai). The being characterized joins as the fourth and lowest link, just as the earthly human being joins the mineral, plant and animal kingdoms as the highest link. In keeping with these very different conditions, the nature of perception itself was also different. The initiate knows this nature from experience, for it is equivalent to what he reaches as his third stage, beyond waking day-consciousness: spiritual consciousness. It is as if the impressions do not come to the senses from external objects, but as if they push their way to the senses from within, flow outwards from them and encounter objects and beings out there, in order to reflect on them and then appear in their reflection to consciousness. This was the case with the Saturnian being. It poured its life-force out upon the things of the planet, and from all sides the reflection was thrown back to it in the most manifold ways. It perceived its own life from all sides in the form of a mirror image. And the things that reflected back its essence were the beginnings of the physical human body. For the planet consisted of them. What was otherwise perceived did not appear on the planet, but in its surroundings. The beings called Exusiai (forces) appeared as radiant beings that illuminated the world body from all sides. Saturn itself was a dark body in itself; it received its light not from dead sources of light, but from these beings that inhabited its surroundings and illuminated it as radiant beings. Their light revealed itself to the perception of the Saturn being in the same way that the animal body is presently perceived by man. The beings, which are called Dynamis (Powers), revealed themselves in a similar way from the periphery through spiritual tones, and the Kyriotetes (Dominions) through what is called in esoteric science the world aroma, a kind of impression that can be compared to the present smell.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"43.

Diese Wesenheit[en] betrachtet er als unter ihm stehend, sich selbst ihnen gegenüber als ein höheres Wesen. Bei jenem Saturnwesen war das Umgekehrte der Fall. Es hatte drei Gruppen von Wesenheiten über sich und musste sich selbst als das unterste Glied im Bereiche dessen halten, was ihm wahrnehmbar war. Diese drei höheren Gruppen von Wesenheiten bezeichnete man in der Geheimwissenschaft mit verschiedenen Namen, je nach der Sprache des Volkes und der Zeit, denen die Geheimlehrer angehörten. Die Bezeichnungen der christlichen Geheimwissenschaft sind, von oben nach unten aufgezählt: Herrschaften (Kyriotetes), Mächte (Dynamis) und Gewalten (Exusiai). Als viertes unterstes Glied reiht sich jenes charakterisierte Wesen an, wie sich der Erden-Mensch als oberstes Glied an das Mineral-, Pflanzen- und Tierreich anreiht. - Diesen ganz andersartigen Verhältnissen entsprechend war auch die Natur der Wahrnehmung selbst anders. Aus der Erfahrung heraus kennt diese Natur der Eingeweihte. Denn sie kommt dem gleich, was er als seine dritte Stufe, über das wache Tagesbewusstsein hinaus, erreicht, dem spirituellen Bewusstsein. Es ist da, als ob die Eindrücke nicht von äußeren Gegenständen an die Sinne herankämen, sondern als ob sie sich von innen heraus nach den Sinnen zudrängten, von diesen nach außen strömten und da draußen an die Gegenstände und Wesen aufstießen, um sich an ihnen zu spiegeln und dann in ihrem Abglanz dem Bewusstsein zu erscheinen. — So war es bei jenem Saturnwesen. Es strömte seine Lebenskraft auf die Dinge des Planeten, und von allen Seiten wurde ihm in der mannigfaltigsten Weise der Widerschein zurückgeworfen. Es nahm das eigene Leben von allen Seiten im Spiegelbilde wahr. Und die Dinge, welche ihm dieses sein Wesen zurückstrahlten, waren die Anfänge des physischen Menschenleibes. Denn aus ihnen bestand der Planet. Was sonst wahrgenommen wurde, erschien nicht am Planeten, sondern in dessen Umkreis. Die Wesen, welche Exusiai (Gewalten) genannt werden, erschienen als strahlende Wesen, die von allen Seiten her den Weltkörper beleuchteten. Der Saturn selbst war ein an sich dunkler Körper; er empfing sein Licht nicht von toten Lichtquellen, sondern von diesen Wesen, die seinen Umkreis bewohnten und als Leuchtwesen ihn erhellten. Ihr Licht offenbarte sich der Wahrnehmung des Saturnwesens, wie sich gegenwärtig der tierische Leib dem Menschen wahrnehmbar macht. Die Wesen, welche Dynamis (Mächte) heißen, offenbarten sich in ähnlicher Art vom Umkreise her durch geistiges Tönen und die Kyriotetes (Herrschaften) durch das, was man in der Geheimwissenschaft das Weltaroma nennt, eine Art von Eindruck, den man mit dem gegenwärtigen Geruch vergleichen kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":413,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/46/46-03-43/p047"}],"english":["GA 46/46-03-43/p047"],"method":"structural_identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"unverified","length_check":{"de_words":413,"en_words":438,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.09,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":15368,"original_word_count":14043,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":null,"publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Articles/GA046/English/SOL2024/46-03-43.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.
