We see how this physical science takes hold of the art of healing, which originated in Arabia and later spread to other countries. The Arabian doctors only started from the physical plane, unlike the healers of the ancient Egyptians, the Druids and even the ancient Germanic tribes. All of them had come to their healing profession by developing their psychic powers through asceticism and other exercises. Today we still see something similar in the practices and processes of shamanism, only that these have degenerated today. So psychic powers were developed in these early healers. Muhammad introduced the art of healing that takes its remedies only from the physical plane itself. This art of healing was developed where one did not want to know about spiritual beings, but only about a single God. Alchemy and astrology in the old sense were abolished and made into new sciences: astronomy, mathematics and so on. These later became the sciences of the Occident. The Arabs who came to Spain, we see men educated in the physical sciences, especially mathematicians. The true followers of this school said: We respectfully revere what lives in plants, animals, etc., but man should not imitate in an amateurish way what only God is called to create. Therefore, we find only arabesques in Moorish art, forms that are not even plant-like, but are purely the product of the imagination.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

Wir sehen, wie diese physische Wissenschaft die Heilkunst ergreift, die ausging von Arabien und die sich dann später ausgebreitet hat in andere Länder. Die arabischen Ärzte gingen lediglich vom physischen Plan aus, anders als die Heiler bei den alten Ägyptern, bei den Druiden und selbst bei den alten Germanen. Alle diese waren dadurch zu ihrem Heilberuf gekommen, daß sie durch Askese und andere Übungen ihre psychischen Kräfte ausgebildet hatten. Heute noch sehen wir Ähnliches in den Praktiken und Vorgängen des Schamanismus, nur sind dieselben heute degeneriert. Also psychische Kräfte wurden bei diesen frühen Heilern ausgebildet. Mohammed führte diejenige Heilkunst ein, welche ihre Heilmittel nur aus dem physischen Plan selbst nimmt. Diese Heilkunst wurde da ausgebildet, wo man von spirituellen Wesenheiten nichts wissen wollte, sondern nur von einem einzigen Gott. Alchimie und Astrologie im alten Sinne wurden abgeschafft und zu neuen Wissenschaften gemacht: Astronomie, Mathematik und so weiter. Diese sind später auch zu den Wissenschaften des Abendlandes geworden. In den Arabern, die nach Spanien kamen, sehen wir auf dem physischen Gebiete gebildete Männer, vor allem Mathematiker. Die wirklichen Anhänger dieser Richtung sagten: Ehrerbietig verehren wir das, was in Pflanze, Tier und so weiter lebt, aber der Mensch soll das nicht nachstümpern, was nur Gott allein zu schaffen berufen ist. - Daher finden wir in der maurischen Kunst auch nur Arabesken, Formen, die nicht einmal Pflanzenform haben, sondern die nur phantasiegestaltet sind.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":272,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/92/1904-06-24/p009"}],"english":["GA 92/1904-06-24/p009"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":272,"en_words":266,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2087,"original_word_count":2021,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Occult Truths of Old Myths and Legends","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA092/English/SOL2024/19040624p01.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.
