As the earth began to form itself, it was still united with the sun and with that which we now call the moon. Together with these two bodies the earth formed a single whole. First of all the sun separated itself from the earth. The whole of earth life thereby became different. At this point death made its entry, somewhat in the form in which we know it in the cell-bearing plants; whereas before there could be no question of death, because there was continuous material life. So long as the plant consists of a single Cell, no decay sets in when the next cell is born. It is different when a whole organism is built up [out of many cells]; this [organism] decays into its parts, and the individual part is no longer the whole living [process]. This kind of death came in for the first time when the sun separated from the earth. The schism between the sexes began in the middle of the Lemurian Race, as a result of the splitting-off of the moon. The separation of the moon brought about the partition of the [being that is both] male and female into [beings that are either] only male or only female. Thus humanity took the shape that it now has in the world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"14.

Als die Erde sich zu gestalten begann, war sie noch vereinigt mit der Sonne und dem, was wir jetzt Mond nennen. Mit diesen zwei Körpern bildete die Erde einen einzigen Körper. Zuerst trennte sich die Sonne von der Erde ab. Dadurch wurde das ganze Leben auf der Erde ein anderes. Während vorher nicht die Rede sein konnte von Tod, weil fortgesetztes materielles Leben da war, trat jetzt der Tod ein. Etwa in der Form, wie wir ihn bei einem aus Zellen zusammengesetzten Pflanzenkörper kennen. Solange die Pflanze aus einer einzigen Zelle besteht, tritt kein Zerfallen ein, wenn das nächste geboren wird. Anders ist es, wenn ein ganzer Organismus zusammengesetzt ist. Dieser zerfällt in seine Teile, und der einzelne Teil ist nicht mehr das ganze Leben. Solch ein Tod trat erstmals ein, als die Sonne sich von der Erde ablöste. Als Folge der Mondablösung entstand die Spaltung der Geschlechter in der Mitte der lemurischen Rasse. Die Abtrennung des Mondes bewirkte die Teilung des Männlich-Weiblichen in nur Männliches und nur Weibliches. Dadurch bekamen die Menschen auch die Gestalt, die sie jetzt in der Welt haben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":198,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/93/1905-06-05/p012"}],"english":["GA 93/1905-06-05/p012"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":198,"en_words":235,"ratio":1.19,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.13,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5128,"original_word_count":4548,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"John M.
