These are the great Sons of the Fire Nebula, the Arhats. The best known is Hermes Trismegistus, the Egyptian. You see that these first Arhats grasped the moment when they had a humanity that could achieve the highest, because with the division into male and female, only a one-sided incarnation was possible, and this one-sided incarnation also had the effect that at first a part of the incarnating mature dhyanic natures did not incarnate at all. Only a part – but this was from the outset thrust into a strong one-sided development of humanity, because they could only see half of humanity – was dependent on the leading world powers. It is therefore not surprising that the advanced Pitris refused to incarnate. The consequence was a lower level of humanity next to the Arhats. Now the separation of the human animal and the animal human also arose. The difference was not very great, and the consequence was that humans and animals lived together, that they had sexual intercourse. Thus a certain stretch was continued, which would have come if no manasic fertilization had occurred.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"LXXXI.

Das sind die großen Söhne des Feuernebels, die Arhats. Der bekannteste ist Hermes Trismegistos, der ägyptische. Sie sehen, dass diese ersten Arhats den Moment erfassten, in dem sie eine Menschheit hatten, die das Höchste erreichen konnte, denn bei dem Zerfall in Männliches und Weibliches war nur eine einseitige Inkarnation möglich, und diese einseitige Inkarnation bewirkte auch, dass zunächst ein Teil der zur Inkarnierung reifen dhyanischen Naturen gar nicht sich inkarnierten. Nur ein Teil - der war aber von vornherein in eine starke einseitige Ausbildung des Menschentums gestoßen, weil er nur die Hälfte vom Menschentum übersehen konnte - war abhängig von den leitenden Weltenmächten. Es ist daher nicht zu verwundern, dass die vorgeschrittenen Pitris sich weigerten, sich zu inkarnieren. Die Folge war eine niedrige Stufe der Menschheit neben den Arhats. Nun entstand auch die Trennung des Menschentieres und des Tiermenschen. Der Unterschied war nicht sehr groß, und die Folge war, dass Mensch und Tier miteinander lebten, dass sie Geschlechtsgemeinschaft hatten. Dadurch war eine gewisse Strecke weitergeführt, was gekommen wäre, wenn gar keine manasische Befruchtung gekommen wäre.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":217,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/90a/1904-12-31/p005"}],"english":["GA 90a/1904-12-31/p005"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":217,"en_words":227,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.07,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":1231,"original_word_count":1153,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Self-Knowledge and God-Knowledge I","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA090a/English/SOL2024/19041231p01.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.
