Religious traditions should always be taken literally. If you bear in mind what I have just now explained to you, you will easily understand that the human being can only enter the spiritual world—and the spiritual world is the one which the Bible designates as “Kingdom of Heaven”—when he has lived through his whole life backwards as far as infancy. This lies at the foundation of Christ's words: “Unless you become as little children you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven”. For on reaching the stage of childhood in his reversed passage through life, the human being discards the astral body and enters the spiritual world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IV.

Dieses geht aber wesentlich schneller als hier in der physischen Welt und dauert etwa ein Drittel des Erdenlebens. Man erlebt nun da auch noch manches andere bei diesem Rückwärtsdurchlaufen des Lebens. Nehmen wir an, Sie sind mit achtzig Jahren gestorben und leben nun das Leben zurück bis zum vierzigsten Lebensjahr. Da haben Sie zum Beispiel einmal einem eine Ohrfeige gegeben, wodurch seinerzeit dieser Mensch von Ihnen einen Schmerz erfahren hat. Nun ist es so in der Astralwelt, daß auch diese Schmerzempfindung sozusagen wie im Spiegelbild auftritt; das heißt: nun erleben Sie den Schmerz, den damals der andere durch Ihre Ohrfeige erfahren hat. Und dasselbe ist natürlich auch der Fall bei allen freudigen Ereignissen. — Und dann erst, wenn der Mensch sein ganzes Leben durchlebt hat, tritt er ein in die himmlische Welt. Religiöse Urkunden sind immer wörtlich zu nehmende Wahrheiten. Wenn Sie das soeben Gesagte sich vor Augen halten, werden Sie ohne weiteres einsehen, daß der Mensch wirklich erst in die geistige Welt — und mit der geistigen Welt ist das gemeint, was in der Bibel mit «Himmelreich» oder «das Reich der Himmel» bezeichnet wird — eintreten kann, wenn er eben vorher sein ganzes Leben rückläufig durchlebt hat bis zur Kindheit. Und dieses liegt in Wahrheit dem Worte Christi zugrunde: «So ihr nicht werdet wie die Kindlein, werdet ihr nicht in das Himmelreich kommen.» Dann nämlich, wenn der Mensch rückläufig wieder an der Stufe seiner Kindheit angekommen ist, streift er den Astralleib ab und tritt in die geistige Welt ein.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":294,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-19/p010"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-19/p016","GA 100/1907-06-19/p017","GA 100/1907-06-19/p018"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":294,"en_words":290,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.07,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2910,"original_word_count":2728,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"ANS1942","book_title":"Theosophy and Rosicrucianism","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA100/English/ANS1942/19070619p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
