Let us go back once more from the cosmos of love to the cosmos of wisdom. What was existing of man at the transition? That which I described as the four members of his being making man the crown of creation was not yet existing at the beginning of our earth evolution, only the beginnings of the physical, etheric and astral bodies. But just as a seed decays and yet rises again letting a plant arise, so man disappears at the transition from the cosmos of wisdom to the cosmos of love, to arise again on our present earth and gradually the ‘I’ develops. This I must be there as the counterpart to the force of love. Love has other conditions of existence than wisdom. Wisdom can run where all the single members are dependent on each other. Wisdom can rule where a being in love holds sway. But if love is to pass from one being to another that can only happen where it is a free gift which must be there as a Father force.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"39.

Gehen wir noch einmal zurück von dem Kosmos der Liebe zum Kosmos der Weisheit. Was ist vom Menschen da bei dem Übergang vorhanden? Wie ich ihn beschrieben habe als das vierte Glied seiner Wesenheit, was den Menschen zur Krone der Schöpfung macht, das war beim Beginn unserer Erdenentwicklung noch nicht vorhanden, nur die Anlage des physischen Leibes, des Äther- und des Astralleibes. Aber ebenso, wie ein Samenkorn verfault und doch wieder aufgeht und eine Pflanze entstehen lässt, so verschwinden die Menschen beim Übergang vom Kosmos der Weisheit zum Kosmos der Liebe und erscheinen wieder auf der jetzigen Erde, und es wurde nach und nach heranentwickelt das Ich. Und dieses Ich musste da sein als Gegenpol der Kraft der Liebe. Liebe hat andere Daseinsbedingungen als Weisheit. Weisheit kann da walten, wo alle einzelnen Glieder voneinander abhängig sind, Weisheit kann da walten, wo ein Wesen der Liebe regiert. Soll Liebe von einem Wesen zum andern gehen, so kann das nur da sein, wo sie eine freie Gabe ist, die da sein muss wie eine Vaterkraft.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":179,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/68a/1908-02-20/p030"}],"english":["GA 68a/1908-02-20/p025"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":179,"en_words":183,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.95,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4934,"original_word_count":5180,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Essence of Christianity","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA068a/English/SOL2024/19080220p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
