We must realise that this great primal spiritual teaching underwent a certain modification brought about by the migrating peoples. Its original greatness consisted in grasping the mighty divine unity which was recognised by the spiritual vision of the (ancient) Indians. This was no longer so with the next, the (ancient) Persian Race. In the wisdom arising from this primeval Indian vision the concept of time was almost entirely absent. It was with the Second Sub-Race, the ancient Persian, that the concept of time made its appearance. Time, it is true, was recognised by the Indian but was more uniform; the concept of history, the progression from the imperfect to what is more perfected, was lacking. Thinking was governed by the idea that everything has emanated from divine perfection.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture XXXI","site_heading":"Root Races and Sub-Races: From Atlantis to Fifth Root-Race","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Wir müssen uns vorstellen, daß diese ursprüngliche große geistige Lehre durch die nachrückenden Völkerschaften eine gewisse Veränderung erfahren hat. Ihre ursprüngliche Größe bestand in der Erfassung der gewaltigen, göttlichen Einheit, die durch die indischen Schauer erkannt wurde. Das war nicht mehr der Fall bei der nächsten, der persischen Rasse. Ein anderer Zug dieser uralten indischen Anschauung ist der, daß der Zeitbegriff in ihr fast vollständig fehlt. In der zweiten Unterrasse, der urpersischen, tritt gleich der Zeitbegriff hervor. Die Zeit wird von dem Inder zwar erkannt, aber mehr gleichförmig; der Begriff der Geschichte, des Fortschreitens vom Unvollkommenen zum Vollkommenen aber fehlt. Beherrscht war das Denken von der Anschauung, daß alles aus der göttlichen Vollkommenheit emaniert wird.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":159,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/93a/1905-11-05/p008"}],"english":["GA 93a/1905-11-05/p008"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":159,"en_words":179,"ratio":1.13,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.18,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4205,"original_word_count":3571,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Vera and Judith Compton-Burnett","identified_edition":"RSP1982","book_title":"Foundations of Esotericism","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA093a/English/RSP1982/19051105p01.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.
