We found that this decreases steadily after that time. But if we go back far enough we find that man once lived entirely in the spiritual world. In ancient times the difference between sleep and death was not great. In primeval antiquity man had long periods of sleep, approximately as long as the time now consumed by an incarnation and the life after death. Through the fact that man descended to the physical plane, he became ever more entangled in this physical plane. We have shown how the Indian gazed into a high world and how, in Persia, man already attempted to conquer the physical plane. Man descended ever further, and in the Greco-Latin time there occurred a marriage between spirit and matter, between the spiritual worlds and the physical plane. The more man approached the middle of this last epoch, the more he learned to love the physical world and take an interest in it. As this occurred, everything that we call experiences between death and a new birth also changed.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Tenth Lecture","site_heading":"Initiation, Christ, and Humanity's Spiritual Redemption","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.

Wir fanden, daß das dann immer mehr abnimmt. Wenn wir jedoch weit genug zurückgehen, dann finden wir, daß der Mensch da überhaupt in der geistigen Welt lebt. In alten Zeiten ist auch der Unterschied zwischen Schlaf und Tod kein so großer. In urferner Vergangenheit haben die Menschen lange Schlafperioden gehabt. Das fiel ungefähr mit dem Zeitraum zusammen, der heute dutch eine Inkarnation und durch das Leben nach dem Tode durchlaufen wird. Dadurch, daß der Mensch herunterstieg auf den physischen Plan, wurde er auch immer mehr verstrickt in diesen physischen Plan. Es ist gezeigt worden, wie der Inder in eine hohe Welt blickte, wie der Mensch in Persien schon versuchte, den physischen Plan zu erobern. Immer weiter stieg der Mensch herunter, und eine Ehe zwischen Geist und Materie, zwischen den geistigen Welten und dem physischen Plan war eingetreten in der griechisch-lateinischen Zeit. Je mehr sich der Mensch hereinlebte in die Mitte dieser letzten Epoche, um so mehr lernte er lieben die physische Welt und an ihr Interesse gewinnen. Damit änderte sich aber auch alles, was wir Erlebnisse nennen zwischen Tod und neuer Geburt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":212,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/106/1908-09-12/p009"}],"english":["GA 106/1908-09-12/p009"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":212,"en_words":201,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5907,"original_word_count":5918,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Norman MacBeth","identified_edition":"AP1971","book_title":"Egyptian Myths and Mysteries","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA106/English/AP1971/19080912p01.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.
