During life on earth he is enclosed within his skin, and outside is space with things and beings. This is not so after death. Our whole being expands and we feel that we are becoming ever larger. The feeling of being here in my skin with space and surrounding things out there is an experience that we do not have after death. After death we are inside objects and beings. We expand within a definite spatial area. During the kamaloca period we are continually expanding, and when this expansion reaches its end, we are as large as the space within the orbit of the moon. The fact of dwelling within space, of being concentrated in one point, has quite a different meaning after death than during physical existence. All the souls who dwell simultaneously in kamaloca fill out the same space circumscribed by the orbit of the moon. They interpenetrate one another. Yet this interpenetration does not mean togetherness. The feeling of being together is determined by quite other factors than filling a common spatial area. It is possible for two souls who are within the same space after death to be quite distant from one another. Their experience may be such that they need not know of one another's existence. Other souls, on the other hand, might have close, intimate connections and sense each other's presence. This depends entirely on inner relationships and has nothing to do with external spatial connections.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"7.

So ist es aber nicht nach dem Tode; sondern nach dem Tode ist es so, daß wir uns zunächst mit unserer ganzen Wesenheit ausdehnen, daß wir in unserem Erfühlen immer größer und größer werden. Dieses Gefühl: Ich bin in meiner Haut, und da draußen ist der Raum mit den Dingen — das ist eine Erfahrung, die wir nach dem Tode nicht haben. Nach dem Tode sind wir in den Dingen und Wesenheiten drinnen, wir dehnen uns aus über den Raum, der für uns in Betracht kommt. Während der Kamalokazeit dehnen wir uns fortwährend aus, und wenn die Kamalokazeit zu Ende ist, sind wir so groß, wie der Raum innerhalb des Mond-Umkreises ist. Also tatsächlich wir wachsen, wir dehnen uns aus über den Raum. Das Im-Raume-Sein, das Dasein im Raume hat nach dem Tode eine ganz andere Bedeutung als hier im physischen Leben. Tatsächlich ist es in gewisser Weise so, daß wir in der Kamalokazeit in dem Raume sind, den der Mond umläuft. Jede einzelne Seele ist da, so daß alle Seelen, die gleichzeitig im Kamaloka sind, den Raum ausfüllen, den die Mondbahn umgrenzt. Sie stecken alle ineinander. Und doch ist dieses Ineinanderstecken keineswegs ein Beisammensein, sondern das Sichbeisammen-Fühlen, das Miteinandersein hängt von ganz anderem ab als von dem Ausfüllen eines gemeinschaftlichen Raumes. Da können zwei Seelen nach dem Tode in demselben Raume sein und können tatsächlich unendlich ferne voneinander sein, das heißt ihr Erleben ist so, daß sie gar nichts voneinander zu wissen brauchen, während andere Seelen ebenfalls in demselben Raume sind, aber sich familiär fühlen, sich beisammen fühlen, miteinander sich erleben. Da hängt alles von innerlichen Verhältnissen ab, nicht von äußerlich räumlichen Zusammenhängen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":321,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/140/1912-12-15/p011"}],"english":["GA 140/1912-12-15/p010"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":321,"en_words":256,"ratio":0.8,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.91,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6616,"original_word_count":7271,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"René M.
