They are bell-shaped and shoot through astral space with enormous speed. They are germinal human beings not yet incarnated but striving for incarnation. Time and space hardly matter to these beings because they can move about very easily. They are variously coloured and surrounded by an aura of colour: at one point they are red, at another blue, and a shining yellow ray flashes out from inside them. These germinal human beings have just come from Devachan into astral space. What is happening here?","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Das sind die noch nicht verkörperten, aber nach Verkörperung hinstrebenden Menschenkeime. Die Zeit und der Ort sind eigentlich ziemlich bedeutungslos für diese zur Verkörperung hinstrebenden Menschenkeime, weil sie sich so leicht bewegen können. Sie sind mannigfaltig gefärbt und umgeben von einer Farbenatmosphäre, an einer Stelle sind sie rot, an der anderen blau, mitten drinnen funkelt ein gelbleuchtender Strahl. Es sind dies also die eben aus dem Devachan in den Astralraum hineinkommenden Menschenkeime. Was ist da geschehen? Der Mensch hatte den höheren Astralleib und die Früchte der verschiedenen Leben als Kausalleib mit sich ins Devachan genommen, und nun sammelt er eine neue «Astralmaterie» um sich herum. Es ist das gleichsam, wie wenn herumgestreute Eisenspäne sich ordnen nach den Kräften eines Magnets. Je nach den innewohnenden Kräften sammelt der Mensch die Astralmaterie um sich herum; bei einem guten Vorleben sammelt er anderes Material als bei einem schlechten. Das glockenförmige Gebilde nun ist der frühere Kausalleib, die Kräfte des früheren Astralleibes und der neue Astralleib. Der Keim soll nun nicht mehr den alten Astralleib finden, sondern er soll sich einen neuen Astralleib bilden aus der undifferenzierten Astralmaterie, so daß dieser Vorgang von dem Menschen selbst abhängig ist: Je nach den Kräften des vergangenen Lebens ist die Form und Farbe des neuen Astralleibes. Das ist eine Tatsache, die man wohl beachten muß. Warum schießen diese Menschenkeime mit solch rasender Schnelligkeit dahin? Weil das Elternpaar gesucht werden muß, das nach Charakter und Familienverhältnissen zu dem Menschenkeime paßt. Die Schnelligkeit ermöglicht es, daß das Elternpaar gefunden wird. Der Menschenkeim kann in diesem Moment hier, im nächsten schon in Amerika sein.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":291,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/95/1906-08-26/p015"}],"english":["GA 95/1906-08-26/p015","GA 95/1906-08-26/p016"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":291,"en_words":312,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2187,"original_word_count":2135,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"E.H.
