All this vanishes in the course of our journey between death and a new birth. During the earthly existence our soul-spiritual being is embedded in our physical body, and it lives on the activity of our organs. After death the part that leaves the physical and etheric bodies grows ever larger, and a time comes when what is otherwise contained within the boundary of the skin expands so far as to fill the whole circumference of the orbit of the Moon. The soul-spirit gradually grows right up to the Mercury and Venus spheres, and farther to the Mars, Jupiter and Saturn spheres, and even beyond into the universe. Later it contracts again and unites itself as a tiny spirit-germ with the stream of heredity that prepares its physical body through father and mother. This description agrees with what has been written in *Theosophy*. The Spirit Land begins in the Mars sphere.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"16.

Unser seelisch-geistiger Teil ist während des Erdenlebens gleichsam eingebettet in unseren physischen Leib, und jener lebt von den Tätigkeiten der genannten Organe. Nach dem Tode vergrößert sich dasjenige, was den physischen und den Ätherleib verläßt, immer mehr und mehr, und es kommt eine Zeit, in der das, was sonst an die Grenze unserer Haut gebunden ist, sich so weit ausbreitet, daß es den ganzen Umkreis der Mondbahn erfüllt. Dann wächst das Geistig-Seelische allmählich bis zur Merkur-, Venus-Sphäre, dann zur Mars-, Jupiter-, Saturnsphäre heran und sogar darüber hinaus in den Weltenraum hinein. Nachher zieht es sich wieder zusammen und verbindet sich als kleiner Geistkeim mit dem Strom der Vererbungskräfte, die ihm den physischen Leib durch Vater und Mutter zubereiten.
