This nothing of the materialist, this fundamental essence of human nature for the spiritual view, that is what this enormous tableau of memories presents, in which all the individual experiences of the last existence are included, and in a higher sense, are also included as after that shock that a person experiences when his life is in danger, when he is about to drown. What actually happens to a person when they face mortal danger? Due to the shock they have suffered, their etheric or life body has been loosened from their physical body for a short while. Now, however, this etheric or life body in humans - let it be explicitly stated: in humans - is also the carrier of memory, and in ordinary life, when this etheric or life body is connected to the physical body, then the physical body is a kind of obstacle, a kind of hindrance to the emergence of all the individual memories, all the individual mental images. But when the etheric or life body is lifted out of the physical body for a short while by such a shock, then the whole life appears in a memory painting before the soul, and we then have in such a person at the moment of drowning drowning we have a kind of analogy to what happens immediately after death, when the etheric or life body is released with all its powers, since the physical body is discarded at death.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Human Being's Journey Through the World of the Senses, Soul and Spirit","site_heading":null,"date":"1910-03-21","location":null,"word_count":306,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/119/1910-03-21/p011","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":null,"publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA119/English/Singles/19100321p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["English"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/119/1910-03-21/p011"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/119/1910-03-21/p011","paragraph_aligned":true}],"record":{"record_type":"unknown","scope":"volume","note":"How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here.

Dieses Nichts des Materialisten, dieses Grundwesen der menschlichen Natur für den spirituellen Blick, das hat jenes gewaltige Erinnerungstableau vor sich, in dem eingeschlossen sind alle einzelnen Erlebnisse des letzten Daseins, ebenso, ja in höherem Sinne eingeschlossen sind als nach jenem Schock, den ein Mensch erlebt, wenn er in Lebensgefahr schwebt, wenn er etwa dem Ertrinken nahe ist. Was ist denn eigentlich geschehen mit einem Menschen, der vor einer Lebensgefahr steht? Durch den Schock, den er erlitten hat, ist sein Äther- oder Lebensleib für eine kurze Weile gelockert worden aus seinem physischen Leibe heraus. Nun ist aber dieser Äther- oder Lebensleib beim Menschen - ausdrücklich sei es gesagt: beim Menschen - der Träger auch der Erinnerung, des Gedächtnisses, und im gewöhnlichen Leben, wenn dieser Äther- oder Lebensleib eingeschaltet ist dem physischen Leib, dann ist der physische Leib wie eine Art Hemmnis, wie eine Art Hindernis für das Herausheben aller einzelnen Erinnerungen, aller einzelnen Gedächtnisvorstellungen. Wenn aber der Ätheroder Lebensleib durch einen solchen Schock für eine kurze Weile aus dem physischen Leib herausgehoben ist, dann tritt das ganze Leben in einem Erinnerungsgemälde vor die Seele, und wir haben dann bei einem solchen Menschen in dem Momente des Ertrinkens durchaus eine Art von Analogon zu demjenigen, was unmittelbar nach dem Tode da ist, wenn der Äther- oder Lebensleib mit allen seinen Kräften frei geworden ist, da ja der physische Leib im Tode abgelegt ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":288,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/119/1910-03-21/p011"}],"english":["GA 119/1910-03-21/p011"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":288,"en_words":306,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8184,"original_word_count":7952,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":null,"publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA119/English/Singles/19100321p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 119/1910-03-21/p011"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
