Even as the finger might say: I an only a finger through the fact that I belong to the organism of the hand, so the human being only lives upon the earth through the fact that he belongs to the earth. People can walk about upon the earth, and consequently they think that they are independent. But if we permeate ourselves with the feeling that everything belongs to us, we have the experience designated as the “Burial”. Soul-spiritually we rest in the earth and only after this experience we rise again, spiritually. Only then can we have an understanding of the deed of Christ-Jesus who united death with his own soul; and even as He has once been the Ruler of the Sun, He has now become the Spirit of the Earth. We should take the words of St. John's Gospel literally: “Whoso eateth my bread, treadeth me underfoot.” If you look upon Christ-Jesus as the highest planetary Spirit of the Earth, and the earth as His body, you will understand that you literally tread the body of Christ-Jesus with your feet. And you become united with Him when you experience this sixth stage, of the Burial.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XII.

Wie der Finger sagen könnte: Ich bin nur ein Finger dadurch, daß ich am Organismus der Hand bin -, so ist der Mensch nur auf der Erde dadurch, daß er der Erde angehört. Die Menschen können auf der Erde herumwandeln, und daher halten sie sich für selbständig. Wenn man sich mit diesem Gefühl durchdringt, daß alles zu uns gehört, dann tritt das ein, was man nennt die «Grablegung»: man ruht geistig-seelisch in der Erde drinnen, und erst danach ist man gleichsam auf geistige Weise wieder auferstanden. Man versteht dann erst die Tat des Christus Jesus, der sich durch den Tod mit der Erde verbunden hat und so, wie er dereinst Regent der Sonne war, nun Geist der Erde geworden ist. Und wörtlich sind die Worte im Johannes-Evangelium zu nehmen: «Wer mein Brot isset, der tritt mich mit Füßen»! Verstehen Sie den Christus Jesus als den höchsten planetarischen Geist der Erde und die Erde als seinen Leib, dann begreifen Sie auch, daß Sie den Leib des Christus Jesus buchstäblich mit Füßen treten. Und mit ihm werden Sie vereinigt, wenn Sie die Grablegung dieser sechsten Stufe erleben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":227,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-27/p040"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-27/p054"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":227,"en_words":237,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.09,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6193,"original_word_count":5683,"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/ANS1942/19070627p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
