During the early phases of life after death, namely during the Moon and Mercury periods (and also during subsequent periods that will shortly be described), we dwell in the spiritual world in such a way that our spiritual life depends on how we lived on earth in the physical world. It not only is a question of our earthly consciousness. Our unconscious impulses also play a part. In our normal waking state on earth we live in our ego. Below the ego-consciousness lies the astral consciousness, the subconscious sphere. The workings of this sphere are sometimes different from our normal ego-consciousness without our being aware of it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"7.

Nehmen wir einmal an: einen Menschen haben wir durch eine gewisse Zeit nicht so geliebt, wie er es verdient hätte, In dem Augenblick, wo wir dieses einsehen, wo wir zur Besinnung kommen, können wir die richtige Liebe eintreten lassen, wenn wir stark genug sind. Diese Möglichkeit fehlt uns nach dem Tode. Wenn wir nach dem Tode einen Menschen antreffen, dem wir auf der Erde zu wenig Liebe oder ungerechtfertigte Liebe entgegengebracht haben, so sehen wir das zwar, wir nehmen die Sache viel genauer wahr als hier auf der Erde; aber wir können nichts daran ändern. Es muß so bleiben. Das eben ist das Eigentümliche, daß die Lebensbeziehungen eine gewisse Konstanz haben. Dadurch, daß sie etwas Bleibendes werden, bildet sich in unserer Seele die Kraft aus, durch welche sich das Karma ordnet. Wenn wir also einen Menschen fünfzehn Jahre lang zu wenig geliebt haben, so sehen wir dies ein, und während wir es durchleben, bilden wir die Kraft aus, wenn wir wieder inkarniert werden auf der Erde, dieses anders zu machen; dadurch bilden wir die Kraft und den Willen zum karmischen Ausgleich aus. Das ist die Technik des Karma. Vor allen Dingen müssen wir uns über eines klar sein. In den ersten Zeiten nach dem Tode, also während der Mond- und der Merkutrzeit, und auch noch während der nächsten Zeit, die gleich charakterisiert werden soll, da leben wir in der geistigen Welt so, daß unser Leben abhängt von der Art, wie wir hier auf Erden, in der physischen Welt gelebt haben; aber so, daß nicht nur in Betracht kommt unser Bewußtsein, wie wir es auf Erden haben, sondern daß auch in Betracht kommt unser Unterbewußtsein. So wie wir hier auf der Erde leben normal, im Wachzustande, so leben wir in unserem Ich. Unter unserem Ich-Bewußtsein ist das astrale Bewußtsein, das Unterbewußtsein. Und das wirkt zuweilen auf Erden ganz anders, ohne daß der Mensch es weiß, als das Oberbewußtsein, das Ich-Bewußtsein.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":339,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/140/1912-12-15/p015"}],"english":["GA 140/1912-12-15/p014","GA 140/1912-12-15/p015"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":339,"en_words":310,"ratio":0.91,"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.
