Then we have to imagine this earth as emerging from an earlier state. You don't have to imagine it like the present earth either, but rather imagine the earth at that time in a much finer matter, not at all in a physical matter, but in a matter that can be imagined something like what we call the human astral body, which envelops and permeates the human being in the form of a cloud. The Earth at that time consisted of such matter. This state has condensed to our present physical state. That is why it was called the astral globe preceding our Earth. The following one, into which our Earth will transform, is again similar to this state in terms of matter; it is also astral. In contrast to the astral globe, the third globe is called the plastic globe, because if you look at the earth in this astral state, it appears undifferentiated to you, a mass in which you can distinguish many fewer entities than in the third globe.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IV.

Dann haben wir uns diese Erde vorzustellen so, dass sie hervorgeht aus einem früheren Zustand. Den müssen Sie sich auch nicht so vorstellen wie die jetzige Erde, sondern so, dass Sie sich die damalige Erde in einer viel feineren Materie, gar nicht in einer physischen Materie vorstellen, sondern in einer Materie, die etwa so vorzustellen ist wie dasjenige, was wir menschlichen Astralkörper nennen, der den Menschen in Form einer Wolke einhüllt und durchtränkt. Aus solcher Materie bestand die damalige Erde. Dieser Zustand hat sich verdichtet zu unserm jetzigen physischen Zustand. Man hat ihn daher den unserer Erde vorangehenden astralen Globus genannt. Der nachfolgende, in den sich unsere Erde verwandeln wird, ist wiederum hinsichtlich der Materie ähnlich beschaffen wie dieser Zustand, er ist auch astralisch. Zum Unterschied von dem astralen Globus nennt man den dritten Globus den plastischen, aus dem Grunde weil, wenn Sie die Erde betrachten in diesem astralen Zustande, sie sich Ihnen undifferenziert zeigt, eine Masse, in welcher man viel weniger Wesenheiten unterscheiden kann als in dem dritten Globus.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":204,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/90b/1905-01-30/p012"}],"english":["GA 90b/1905-01-30/p012"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":204,"en_words":208,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4295,"original_word_count":4215,"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 II","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA090b/English/SOL2024/19050130p01.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.
