The fire layer is the foundation of the other layers. The will of the Lemurian people, which was still very strong at that time, was still able to magically influence this fire layer. The surging movements of the earth were still connected with the will of man. This is why the Lemurian continent was destroyed by the fire layer. People had sunk too low, especially in Late Lemuria. Fearful aberrations had spread. And so these destructive impulses of will affected the fire layer: Lemuria, like Sodom and Gomorrah, perished in a fire catastrophe, combined with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The will has an effect on the fire layer. Thus there is a connection between the inner being of man and the inner being of the earth. The layer of Cain, the layer of the earth shattering, will be transformed through a continuous moral development of man. Whatever man does on earth gradually transforms the entire planet. And when white magic has progressed to a high degree, the core of the earth will change as well. The black magicians will be ejected onto a moon when our planet perishes.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture XIV","site_heading":"Christian Initiation and the Earth's Inner Layers","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.

Die Feuerschicht ist die Grundlage der anderen Schichten. Der damals noch stark wirkende Wille des lemurischen Menschen vermochte noch magisch einzuwirken auf diese Feuerschicht. Die wogenden Bewegungen der Erde hingen noch mit dem Willen des Menschen zusammen. Darum kam es zum Untergang des lemurischen Kontinents aus der Feuerschicht heraus. Die Menschen waren zu tief gesunken, besonders in Spätlemurien. Fürchterliche Verirrungen hatten um sich gegriffen. Und so wirkten denn diese verderblichen Willensregungen auf die Feuerschicht: Lemurien ging, wie Sodom und Gomorrha, durch eine Feuerkatastrophe zugrunde, verbunden mit Erdbeben und Vulkanausbrüchen. Der Wille wirkt eben auf die Feuerschicht. So besteht ein Zusammenhang zwischen dem Inneren des Menschen und dem Inneren der Erde. Der Erdenzersplitterer, die Kainsschicht, erfährt durch eine fortdauernde sittliche Entwickelung des Menschen eine Umwandlung. Was der Mensch auf der Erde tut, das gestaltet nach und nach den ganzen Erdenplaneten um. Und wenn die weiße Magie einmal hervorragend fortgeschritten ist, dann wird der Erdkern auch anders. Die schwarzen Magier werden ausgeschieden werden auf eine Art von Mond, wenn unser Planet einmal vergeht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":202,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/94/1906-07-11/p026"}],"english":["GA 94/1906-07-11/p026"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":202,"en_words":227,"ratio":1.12,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.08,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2434,"original_word_count":2258,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2023","book_title":"Popular Occultism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA094/English/SOL2023/19060711p01.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.
