And if you now imagine the man who is able to create his own likeness through the spoken word, whose heart has become a voluntary muscle, who will have altered yet other organs, then you have a conception of the future of the human race in future planetary incarnations of our earth. Humanity will progress on our earth as far as it is possible under the influence of a mineral kingdom. This mineral kingdom, in spite of its having arisen the last, will be the first to disappear again in its present form. Man will then no longer build up his body from mineral substances as today, the coming human body will only incorporate into itself substances of a plant nature. All that works in man today, as mineral will disappear. In order to give you a seemingly grotesque example: the human saliva of today is a mineral product, for the physical body is an inter-action of mineral processes. When man will have ended his mineral evolution he will no longer have a mineral spittle; it will be of a plant-nature—man will, so to speak, spit flowers. Glands will no more secrete what is mineral, but a plant-like substance. The mineral kingdom is brought to an end by the evolutionary return of humanity to plant-like existence.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XIII.

Und wenn Sie sich jetzt den Menschen denken, der imstande ist, durch das ausgesprochene Wort seinesgleichen zu schaffen, dessen Herz zu einem willkürlichen Muskel geworden ist, der auch noch andere Organe verändert haben wird, dann haben Sie eine Vorstellung von der Zukunft des Menschengeschlechtes auf künftigen planetarischen Verkörperungen unserer Erde. Auf unserer Erde wird die Menschheit so weit kommen, wie sie unter dem Einfluß eines Mineralreiches kommen kann. Dieses Mineralreich wird, trotzdem es am letzten entstanden ist, in seiner heutigen Form am ehesten wieder verschwinden. Der Mensch wird dann seinen Leib nicht mehr aus mineralischen Substanzen aufbauen wie heute; der künftige Menschenleib wird sich zunächst nur das eingliedern, was pflanzlicher Substanz ist. Alles, was heute im Menschen mineralisch wirkt, wird verschwinden. Um Ihnen ein grotesk ausschauendes Beispiel zu geben: Heute spuckt der Mensch seinen gewöhnlichen Speichel aus. Es ist ein mineralisches Produkt, denn des Menschen physischer Leib ist ein Ineinanderwirken von mineralischen Vorgängen. Wenn der Mensch seine mineralische Entwickelung vollendet haben wird, wird er nicht mehr einen mineralischen Speichel spucken, sondern dieser Speichel wird pflanzlicher Natur sein, und der Mensch wird sozusagen Blumen spucken. Keine Drüse wird mehr Mineralisches absondern, sondern nur Pflanzliches. Dadurch wird das mineralische Reich überwunden, daß der Mensch sich wieder zum pflanzlichen Dasein entwickelt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":223,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/99/1907-06-05/p018"}],"english":["GA 99/1907-06-05/p020"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":223,"en_words":226,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4976,"original_word_count":4748,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Mabel Cotterell and Dorothy S.
