We have just emphasized that what we take into our spirit is creative outside in the spiritual world. We have seen that we ourselves are in a certain way in this creative world with our creativity. This spiritual world, which is creative outside, is reflected in a certain way in our own soul. Insofar as our own soul experiences spiritual things, goes through a spiritual life, the spiritual-soul experiences of our inner being are also citizens of the spiritual world. Just as the spiritual world extends down into the physical world, so our spiritual world extends up into the general spiritual world. But this explains to us what spiritual research claims: That which is in man in relation to his various elements of being, that lays aside the outer covers, and what remains is the spiritual, and grows up into the productive spiritual world; it is also explained to us that the spiritual conditions, everything of the soul that takes place here in the physical world, lays aside the outer covers and lives up into the spiritual world. Let us take the love that a mother has for her child. This grows out of the physical world. At first it has an animalistic character. Sympathies connect mother and child, which are a kind of physical force effect. But then that which grows out of the physical world is purified, the love of the two beings is ennobled; this love becomes more and more soulful and spiritual. In death, everything that originates in the physical world is likewise cast off like the outer shells. But on the other hand, everything that is built up in this love in the soul and spirit within this physical human shell remains, just as the human inner self lives on into the spiritual world, so that the love between mother and child lives on in the spiritual world. There they find each other again, no longer limited by the barriers of the physical world, but in that spiritual environment where we do not have things outside us, but where we live and weave and are in things. Therefore, one must imagine that which reigns in the spiritual world as the result of the relationships of love and friendship established in the physical world; one must imagine them as being much more intimately connected than the bonds of love and friendship that are formed in the physical world. And it is absurd to ask whether we will see again after death those with whom we live in love and friendship in the physical world. We not only see them, but we live in them; we are, so to speak, poured out over them. And everything that is woven within the bounds of the sense world only acquires its true meaning when we grow up into the spiritual world with the spiritual part of it.","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":503,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/119/1910-03-21/p031","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/p031"},{"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/p031","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.

Wir haben ja gerade hervorgehoben, daß dasjenige, was wir in unseren Geist hereinnehmen, draußen in der geistigen Welt schöpferisch ist. Wir haben gesehen, daß wir selber in einer gewissen Weise in dieser schöpferischen Welt mit unserem Schöpferischen drinnen sind. Diese geistige Welt, die draußen schöpferisch ist, sie spiegelt sich in einer gewissen Weise in unserer eigenen Seele. Insofern unsere eigene Seele Geistiges erlebt, ein geistiges Leben durchläuft, sind auch die geistig-seelischen Erlebnisse unseres Innern Bürger der geistigen Welt. Wie die geistige Welt in die physische herunterragt, so ragt unser Geistiges hinauf in die allgemeine geistige Welt. Dadurch aber ist uns erklärlich, was die Geistesforschung behaupter: Was am Menschen ist in bezug auf seine verschiedenen Wesensglieder, das legt die äußeren Hüllen ab, und es bleibt das Geistige und wächst hinauf in die produktive geistige Welt; es ist uns auch erklärlich, daß auch die geistigen Verhältnisse, alles Seelische, was sich hier in der physischen Welt abspielt, die äußeren Hüllen ablegt und in die geistige Welt hinauflebt. Nehmen wir die Liebe, die die Mutter hat zu ihrem Kinde. Diese wächst aus der physischen Welt heraus. Sie trägt zunächst einen animaliischen Charakter. Es sind Sympathien, welche Mutter und Kind verbinden, welche eine Art von physischer Kraftwirkung sind. Dann aber läutert sich dasjenige, was aus der physischen Welt herauswächst, es veredelt sich die Liebe der beiden Wesenheiten; immer mehr und mehr seelisch-geistig wird diese Liebe. Alles, was der physischen Welt entspringt, wird ebenso abgeworfen im Tode wie die äußeren Hüllen. Dafür bleibt aber auch alles dasjenige bestehen, was in dieser physisch-menschlichen Hülle an Seelischem, an Geistigem in dieser Liebe aufgebaut wird, ebenso wie das menschliche Innere selbst in die geistige Welt hineinlebt, so daß die Liebe zwischen Mutter und Kind fortlebt in der geistigen Welt. Da finden sie sich wiederum, Jetzt nicht mehr begrenzt durch die Schranken der physischen Welt, sondern in jener geistigen Umgebung, wo wir nicht die Dinge außer uns haben, sondern wo wir in den Dingen leben und weben und sind. Daher muß man sich dasjenige, was da herrscht in der geistigen Welt, als das Resultat der in der physischen Welt begründeten Liebe und Freundschaftsverhältnisse vorstellen; man muß sie sich so vorstellen, daß viel inniger verbunden sind diejenigen, die in der geistigen Welt sich verbunden haben, als die Bande der Liebe, der Freundschaft, die geschlungen werden in der physischen Welt. Und unsinnig ist es, zu fragen, ob wir diejenigen, mit denen wir in Liebe und Freundschaft zusammenleben in der physischen Welt, nach dem Tode wieder erblicken. Wir erblicken sie nicht nur, sondern wir leben in ihnen; wir sind sozusagen über sie ergossen. Und alles, was innerhalb der Schranken der Sinnenwelt gewoben wird, das erhält erst seinen rechten Sinn, seine rechte Bedeutung, wenn wir mit dem geistigen Teil davon in die geistige Welt hinaufwachsen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":486,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/119/1910-03-21/p031"}],"english":["GA 119/1910-03-21/p031"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":486,"en_words":503,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","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/p031"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
