If we now look at the child in its later life it will be a long time before the essential effects are manifested of what we have in this way brought into the first years of its life. Observation of life reveals to us that the actual results of what was put into the child's soul in its earliest years does not manifest itself until the very evening of life. A man may possess to the very end of his life an active mind, if he has been, as a child, educated in this way; that is, if the living, inherent tendencies of his soul have been observed and naturally developed. If we have drawn out and developed his innate powers we shall see the fruits in the evening of his life displayed as a rich soul-life. On the other hand, in a starved and impoverished soul and a corresponding weakly old age (for we shall see later on how a starved soul reacts on the body), is manifested that we have done wrong in our treatment of a person is in earliest childhood. This is something in human life which in a certain way is so regular that it is applicable to everyone as a connection between cause and effect.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

In der Lebensbeobachtung ergibt sich nämlich, daß die eigentlichen Wirkungen dessen, was als Ursachen in die kindliche Seele hineingelegt worden ist, am allerspätesten erst eintreten, das heißt am Lebensabend. Der Mensch kann einen in sich regen Geist bis an sein Lebensende dadurch haben, daß wir ihn als Kind in der Weise erzogen haben, wie es jetzt eben beschrieben worden ist: daß wir auf sein Seelenleben, auf alles, was lebendig in ihm sitzt, Rücksicht genommen haben. Wenn wir das herausgeholt und zur Entwickelung gebracht haben, was an inneren Kräften in ihm vorhanden ist, dann werden wir die Früchte am Lebensabend herauskommen sehen in Gestalt eines reichen Seelenlebens. Dagegen in einer verdorrten und verarmten Seele und demgemäß auch — weil, wie wir später sehen werden, eine verdorrte Seele auch auf den Leib wirkt - in den leiblichen Gebresten des Alters tritt das auf, was wir in der frühesten Kindheit an dem Menschen Unrichtiges getan haben. Da sehen wir etwas, was sich in gewisser Weise regulär, so daß es für jeden Menschen gültig ist, im Menschenleben als Zusammenhang von Ursache und Wirkung darstellt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":217,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/120/1910-05-16/p022"}],"english":["GA 120/1910-05-16/p019"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":217,"en_words":233,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8705,"original_word_count":8647,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"RSP1984","book_title":"Manifestations of Karma","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA120/English/RSP1984/19100516p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
