It had an organ within itself that still exists today as the swim bladder of fish. Man did not walk upright at that time; he moved forward by floating and swimming. He carried this organ within him, which has remained with the fish that have not developed further; in man it was transformed into lungs. This gave him the ability to breathe in and process air. We still find gill breathing in the embryonic development of man. This point in time, when the lungs capture oxygen from the air, is also the moment of ensoulment. This, expressed in terms of feeling and perception, is illustrated in the monumental words: “And God breathed into the man the breath of life, and he became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7) That is to say, man inhaled the divine soul.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"30.

Dadurch erhielt er die Fähigkeit, Luft einzuatmen, zu verarbeiten. Wir finden die Kiemenatmung noch in der Embryonalentwicklung des Menschen.
