Man is an image of the whole cosmos. Cuvier, the important naturalist, says: For the one who studies animal anatomy, the smallest member is an image of the whole body. From the peculiar shape of a bone, he can deduce the shape of the whole body. In each individual there is an image of the whole universe. If a being who is able to see through this were to come to our world from another world and see only a rock crystal, it could deduce from it what the whole world should be like. Each one that can internalize the external becomes a mirror of the whole universe. The human physical body cannot be regarded as a mirror of the universe in itself; it is only through the etheric body that it is internalized, and internalization continues through the etheric body. In the animal, external life is reflected in inner consciousness. In the plant, we do not yet have consciousness. Consciousness does not depend on external stimuli, but is present where external stimuli are reflected internally: in the animal.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"42.

Der Mensch ist ein Abbild des ganzen Kosmos. Cuvier, der bedeutende Naturforscher, sagt: Für den, der tierische Anatomie studiert, ist das kleinste Glied ein Bild des ganzen Körpers. Aus der eigentümlichen Form eines Knochens kann er auf die Gestalt des ganzen Körpers schließen. In jedem Einzelnen ist ein Bild des ganzen Universums. Wenn ein Wesen, das dieses zu durchschauen vermag, von einer anderen Welt auf die unsrige käme und sähe nur einen Bergkristall, so könnte es daraus schließen, wie die ganze Welt sein müsste. Ein jedes, welches das Äußere verinnerlichen kann, wird zum Spiegel des ganzen Universums. Der physische Körper des Menschen ist an sich noch nicht als Spiegel des Universums anzusehen, er wird erst durch den Ätherleib verinnerlicht, die Verinnerlichung schreitet weiter durch den Ätherleib. Beim Tier spiegelt sich das äußere Leben wider im inneren Bewusstsein. Bei der Pflanze haben wir noch kein Bewusstsein. Bewusstsein beruht nicht auf äußerem Reiz, sondern ist da, wo sich der äußere Reiz innerlich spiegelt: beim Tier.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":198,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/68b/1906-11-30/p017"}],"english":["GA 68b/1906-11-30/p017"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":198,"en_words":212,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.09,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2963,"original_word_count":2719,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Circular Flow of Man's Life within the World Of Sense, Soul And Spirit","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA068b/English/SOL2024/19061130p01.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.
