{"corpus":"steiner","locus":"GA 46/46-03-43/p059","lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"text":"When the sun has completed its seven cycles, the time begins when the human body is so far developed that it can not only receive the influxes of light and be enlivened by them, but it acquires the ability to let the world of sound that flows around it, which is formed from the “powers”, take effect within itself and to reproduce it as sounds. At this stage of existence, which is called the development of the moon, the human body becomes a resounding entity. While the sound reflected back from the planet into the environment at the Saturn level was only an echo of the surroundings, it now sounds out into this environment in a changed way. It is so changed that it reflects what is going on in the human bodies in the most diverse way. These human bodies have thus taken up a third element into their being, the sentient body. For it is their inner nature: their world of feeling that resounds outwards. — But the seven entities that developed out of the Saturn spirit during the development of the sun have become seven times seven. Their environment has now become such that they experience their own world of feeling in the sentient bodies that have formed. These sentient bodies are the bearers of their bright day consciousness. They now feel themselves surrounded by two realms that are below them, and one that is above them. This realm hovering above them can be sensed from the realm of space as the aroma of the world; they experience themselves as sounding beings, and the two realms that are below them have come about because one area of human bodies has remained at the Saturn level, and a second at the sun level. Thus these moon beings are surrounded by automaton-like beings, who continue their Saturnian maturity on the moon under completely different conditions than they existed on Saturn itself; and furthermore, by plant-like sun bodies, which are in a similar situation. Thus, three types of beings are present in the actual mass of the moon. Those automaton-like beings that are dark within themselves and that have retained from Saturn the ability to radiate life around them. They are not inanimate beings in the sense of the present minerals. A mineral foundation such as the earth has did not exist on the moon at all. In its place was one that consisted of the characterized being. One gets an idea of it if one imagines it with a life that runs through it completely, so that on the moon, for example, instead of the mineral arable soil of our planet, there is a living, pulpy mass; in this, lignified parts are inserted like the rock masses into the softer rock of our earth. In this living foundation, which in its parts can be called plant minerals, the characterized solar beings were rooted, standing on a level between the present animal and the present plant. And the mobile beings that inhabited the moon were the human bodies, standing in the middle between animal and human in terms of their development. They were the hosts of the descendants of the Saturn planet spirit. But this could not have developed an alert day-consciousness in them. To live in such a consciousness, these beings had to step out of their bodies each time. When they were within the body, that is, when they were living its life, then they were only imbued with a consciousness filled with dream images. In this consciousness, they saw nothing of their physical surroundings; but they sounded their inner experiences into the environment. What was expressed in sounds during the sleep of the moon beings were their passions and desires. To emphasize only one aspect of this experience, it should be noted that what is now called the love life, for example, and which underlies reproduction, took place on the moon during the dream-filled sleep. The waking life of the day was without love or desire, devoted entirely to observing the world around him. The human ancestor on the moon knew nothing of sexual relationships in his waking life. What man today feels in sexual love was played out on the moon in dream images that only expressed in symbols what is now objective reality. Thus it was not the human forebears who experienced the world of images in an awakened state on the moon; rather, the beings who stood immediately above humanity, the angels, lived in this world. For them, the dream world of humanity played out, as it were, as bright reality of day. They watched over the dreaming world of humanity as the archangels watched over the world of the sun as it slept in a plant-like state.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"43.

Der Menschenleib wird auf dieser Daseinsstufe, die man die Mondentwicklung nennt, eine tönende Wesenheit. Während der auf der Saturnstufe vom Planeten in die Umwelt zurückgeworfene Ton nur ein Echo der Umgebung war, tönt er jetzt verändert in diese Umgebung hinaus. Er ist so verändert, dass er in der mannigfaltigsten Art wiedergibt, was in den Menschenleibern vorgeht. Diese Menschenleiber haben damit ein drittes Glied in ihre Wesenheit aufgenommen, den Empfindungsleib. Denn es ist ihre innere Natur: ihre Gefühlswelt, die da nach außen tönt. — Aus den sieben Wesenheiten aber, welche sich während der Sonnenentwicklung aus dem Saturngeiste heraus entwickelt haben, sind siebenmal sieben geworden. Deren Umwelt ist jetzt so geworden, dass sie ihre eigene Gefühlswelt in den Empfindungsleibern, welche sich gebildet haben, erleben. Diese Empfindungsleiber sind die Träger ihres hellen Tagesbewusstseins. Sie fühlen sich nunmehr umgeben von zwei Reichen, die unter ihnen stehen, und Einem, das über ihnen ist. Dieses über ihnen schwebende Reich macht sich ihnen aus dem Weltraum heraus als das Weltaroma fühlbar; sich selbst erleben sie als tönende Wesen, und die beiden Reiche, welche unter ihnen stehen, sind dadurch geworden, dass ein Gebiet von Menschenleibern auf der Saturn-, ein zweites auf der Sonnenstufe stehen geblieben ist. So sind diese Mondwesen umgeben von den automatenhaften Wesen, die ihre Saturnreife auf dem Monde unter ganz andersartigen Verhältnissen fortsetzen, als sie auf dem Saturn selbst bestanden haben; und ferner von pflanzenhaften Sonnenleibern, die in einer ähnlichen Lage sind. In der eigentlichen Mondenmasse sind also dreierlei Wesen vorhanden. Jene automatenhaften Wesen, die in sich selbst dunkel sind, und welche sich vom Saturn her die Fähigkeit noch bewahrt haben, Leben um sich herumzustrahlen. Sie sind nicht leblose Wesen in dem Sinne der gegenwärtigen Mineralien. Eine mineralische Grundlage, wie sie [die] Erde hat, gab es auf dem Monde überhaupt noch nicht. An ihrer Stelle war eine solche, welche aus dem charakterisierten Wesen bestand. Man bekommt eine Vorstellung von ihr, wenn man sich sie mit einem durch sie ganz durchgehenden Leben begabt vorstellt, sodass auf dem Monde z.B. statt der mineralischen Ackererde unseres Planeten eine lebendige, breiartige Masse ist; in dieser sind eingefügt verholzte Teile wie die Felsenmassen in das weichere Gestein unserer Erde. In dieser lebenden Grundlage, die man in ihren Teilen Pflanzenmineralien nennen kann, wurzelten die gekennzeichneten Sonnenwesen, auf einer Stufe stehend zwischen dem gegenwärtigen Tier und der gegenwärtigen Pflanze. Und die beweglichen Wesen, welche den Mond bewohnten, waren die Menschenleiber, zwischen Tier und Mensch in Bezug auf ihre Entwicklung mitten drinnen stehend. Sie waren die Beherberger der Abkömmlinge des Saturn-Planetengeistes. Doch hätte dieser ein waches Tagesbewusstsein nicht in ihnen entwickeln können. Um in einem solchen zu leben, mussten diese Wesen jedesmal aus dem Leibe heraustreten. Waren sie innerhalb desselben, das heißt, lebten sie sein Leben mit, dann waren sie nur mit einem von Traumbildern erfüllten Bewusstsein durchdrungen. In diesem Bewusstsein sahen sie nichts von ihrer physischen Umgebung; aber sie tönten ihr inneres Erleben in die Umgebung hinaus. Was da in Klängen sich auslebte während des Schlafes der Mondwesen, waren deren Leidenschaften und Begierden. Um aus dem Umkreis dieses Erlebens nur eines hervorzuheben, sei darauf hingewiesen, dass z.B. dasjenige, was man jetzt Liebesleben nennt, und was der Fortpflanzung zugrundeliegt, auf dem Monde sich während des traumerfüllten Schlafes abspielte. Das wache Tagesleben war begierdeund allerdings auch liebelos, ganz nur dem Anschauen der Umwelt hingegeben. Der Menschenvorfahr auf dem Monde wusste noch nichts von geschlechtlichen Beziehungen in seinem Tagesleben. Für das, was heute der Mensch in der geschlechtlichen Liebe fühlt, spielten sich auf dem Monde Traumbilder ab, welche nur im Sinnbild zum Ausdrucke brachten, was heute gegenständliche Wirklichkeit ist. - Nicht der Menschenvorfahr erlebte also auf dem Monde die Bilderwelt im wachen Zustande; in ihr lebten vielmehr die zunächst über dem Menschen stehenden Wesen, die Engel. Für sie spielte sich gewissermaßen die Traumwelt des Menschen als helle Tageswirklichkeit ab. Sie wachten über der träumenden Menschenwelt, wie die Erzengel über der in pflanzenartigem Schlaf lebenden Sonnenwelt wachten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":711,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/46/46-03-43/p059"}],"english":["GA 46/46-03-43/p059"],"method":"structural_identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"unverified","length_check":{"de_words":711,"en_words":794,"ratio":1.12,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","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.
