One comes to ascend from the plant to the animal organism and to see in what one encounters in the animal organization the corresponding processes in human nature. And then we also come to consider something like the contrast that exists in the process of plant formation outside of the human being and in the process in the human being. The plant builds its body on the basis of carbon. It deposits carbon in itself and separates oxygen. Man undergoes a similar process in his breathing in connection with the circulation of the blood, in the whole task of the blood circulation – but what happens there? There the carbon is bound to the oxygen, thus producing carbonic acid. We have here what is consolidated in the plant formation process, what is in a certain way external, present in the beginning in man, but which he then expels. We get a certain relationship between the plant formation process outside and that which underlies breathing in humans, which dilutes and breaks the process. And in turn, what is otherwise in the human organism is linked to breathing, and one can then compare that which is linked to the breakdown of these processes in the human organization and that which is linked to the build-up in the human organization. Let us assume that we find something in the human organism that represents a disease process in such a way as the beginning, the malformed beginning of a sense-formation process in cancer. Then, looking for what is in external nature, we can seek the opposite process. It will be possible to introduce it into the human organism by means of a remedy, and thereby have the same healing effect as the carbon has in the human organism, if I may put it this way, by supplying oxygen. It is identical. In this way one gains an inner insight into the connection between what is organized in man and external nature. One gains such insight that in what arises in external nature, one can rationally find the remedy that can serve for any corresponding process in the human organism.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"13.

Man kommt dazu, von der Pflanze zum tierischen Organismus aufzusteigen und in dem, was in der tierischen Organisation einem entgegentritt, die entsprechenden Vorgänge in der menschlichen Natur zu sehen. Und dann kommt man auch dazu, so etwas zu betrachten wie den Gegensatz, der draußen in dem Prozeß der Pflanzenbildung vorliegt und in dem Prozeß im Menschen. Die Pflanze baut ihren Leib auf Grundlage des Kohlenstoffes auf. Sie setzt in sich den Kohlenstoff ab, den Sauerstoff sondert sie ab. Der Mensch macht einen ähnlichen Prozeß durch in seiner Atmung in Verbindung mit der Blutzirkulation, in der ganzen Aufgabe des Blutzirkulierens — aber was tritt da ein? Da wird der Kohlenstoff an den Sauerstoff gebunden, also Kohlensäure erzeugt. Da haben wir das, was im Pflanzenbildungsprozeß sich konsolidiert, was in einer gewissen Weise äußerlich verlaufend ist, im Ansatz im Menschen vorhanden, aber er hat es dann ausgeworfen. Wir bekommen da eine gewisse Beziehung zwischen dem Pflanzenbildungsprozeß draußen und demjenigen, was beim Menschen der Atmung zugrundeliegt, die den Prozeß verdünnt, abbricht. Und wiederum an die Atmung gliedert sich das an, was sonst im menschlichen Organismus ist, und man kann dann vergleichen dasjenige, was von diesen Prozessen in der menschlichen Organisation an den Abbau gebunden ist und was an den Aufbau gebunden ist in der menschlichen Organisation. Nehmen wir an, man findet irgendetwas in der menschlichen Organisation, was in einer solchen Weise einen Krankheitsprozeß darstellt wie der Beginn, der mißbildende Beginn eines Sinnesbildungsprozesses im Krebs, so kann man, nach demjenigen sehend, was in der äußeren Natur ist, den entgegengesetzten Prozeß suchen. Man wird ihn durch ein Heilmittel in den menschlichen Organismus einführen können und dadurch ebenso heilend wirken, wie es auf den Kohlenstoff im menschlichen Organismus, wenn ich so sagen darf, heilend wirkt, daß der Sauerstoff zugeführt wird. Das ist identisch. So bekommt man eine innere Einsicht in den Zusammenhang zwischen demjenigen, was im Menschen organisiert ist, und der äußeren Natur. Man bekommt eine solche Einsicht, daß man in dem, was in der äußeren Natur entsteht, das Heilmittel in rationeller Weise findet, das für irgendeinen entsprechenden Prozeß im menschlichen Organismus dienen kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":372,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/73a/1921-01-14/p027"}],"english":["GA 73a/1921-01-14/p027"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":372,"en_words":385,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8353,"original_word_count":7905,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Scientific Disciplines and Anthroposophy","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA073a/English/SOL2024/19210114p01.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.
