The Plant, Animal and Human Kingdoms are the next three material Kingdoms [to be entered by man]. The whole evolves out of the Mineral Kingdom; this is the basis today- The Animal Kingdom forms a kind of dam between the Plant and Human Kingdoms, and the plant is a kind of mirror image of man. This ties up with human life—what lives in man physically—finding its closest kinship with what lives in the plant. It would take many lectures to confirm that thoroughly; today I can only hint at it. When man wants to maintain his physical life activity, he can best do so with a plant diet, since he would then be consuming what originally had an affinity with the physical life activity of the earth. The sun is the bearer of the life forces, and the plant is what grows in response to the sun forces. And man must unite what lives in the plant with his own life forces. Thus his food-stuffs are, occultly, the same as the plant. The Animal Kingdom acts as a dam, a drawing back, thereby interposing itself crosswise against the development process, in order to begin a new flow.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"13.

Das Tierreich steht wie eine Art von Stauung zwischen dem Pflanzen- und dem Menschenreich und die Pflanze ist eine Art Gegenbild des Menschen. Damit hängt es zusammen, daß des Menschen Leben, dasjenige, was im Menschen physisch lebt, seine beste Verwandtschaft findet mit dem, was in der Pflanze lebt. Das könnte in vielen Vorträgen tief begründet werden, heute kann ich das nur andeuten. Wenn der Mensch seine physische Lebenstätigkeit erhalten will, so kann er es am besten durch die Pflanzennahrung, weil er dann aufnimmt, was ursprünglich mit der physischen Lebenstätigkeit der Erde eine Verwandtschaft hat. Die Sonne ist die Trägerin der Lebenskraft und die Pflanze ist das, was der Sonnenkraft entgegenwächst. Und der Mensch muß dieses, was in der Pflanze lebt, mit seiner Lebenskraft vereinigen. So sind seine Ernährungsstoffe okkult mit der Pflanze gleich. Das Tierreich stellt eine Stauung, eine Zurückstauung dar. Es unterbricht daher in Kreuzesform den Fortgang der Entwickelung, um einen neuen Ansatz zu beginnen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":190,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/93/1905-05-29/p037"}],"english":["GA 93/1905-05-29/p036"],"method":"length+anchor_constrained","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":190,"en_words":210,"ratio":1.11,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.4,"band":"fuller_than_original","note":"This witness is longer than the original — paraphrastic or padded.
