Physical bodies will become cosmic dust. What is now the visible physical Earth will have completely vanished, will exist no longer. And what of the etheric bodies? They have meaning and purpose only as long as they have to renew the life of physical bodies, and they too will cease to exist. When the Earth has reached its goal, what will remain of all that man beholds? Nothing at all will be there, nothing of himself, nothing of the beings of the other kingdoms of nature. When the Spiritual is set free nothing will be left of matter but formless dust, for the Spirit alone is real. But something will then have become a reality, something that in times gone by had not been united with The Earth at all and with which human souls will now unite—namely, the Christ Spirit. The Christ Spirit will be the one and only reality that can remain of the Earth.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Ancient Wisdom and the Heralding of the Christ Impulse","site_heading":null,"date":"1912-05-08","location":null,"word_count":180,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/143/1912-05-08/p028","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Dorothy S.

Wir haben gelernt, daß wir als Maja zu betrachten haben den Menschen in seiner Gestalt auf der Erde. Diese Gestalt versprüht mit dem Tode, ein Scheinbild ist, was als äußere Gestalt des menschlichen Leibes vor dem Menschen dasteht. Sie wird nicht bleiben, die äußere Gestalt des physischen Leibes, ebensowenig wie die physischen Leiber der Pflanzen, der Tiere und die Mineralien bleiben werden. Die physischen Leiber werden übergehen in dasjenige, was zersprüht, was Weltenstaub wird. Das, was man sieht, die physische Erde, wird völlig verschwunden sein, wird nicht mehr da sein. Und die Ätherleiber? Sie haben nur einen Sinn, solange sie physische Leiber zu erneuern haben; auch sie werden nicht mehr vorhanden sein. Wenn nun die Erde an ihr Ziel gekommen sein wird, was wird dann von alledem da sein, was der Mensch sieht? Nichts mehr, gar nichts mehr wird da sein, nichts von ihm selbst, nichts von den anderen Wesen der übrigen Naturreiche. Wenn das Geistige frei sein wird, wird von der Materie nichts als ungeformter Staub da sein, denn nur der Geist ist wirklich. Aber eines ist dann wirklich geworden, das früher gar nicht vereint war mit der Erde, mit dem sich die menschlichen Seelen vereinen werden, eines ist dann wirklich: der Christus-Geist. Er wird das einzige Reale sein, was bleiben kann von der Erde.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":221,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/143/1912-05-08/p027"}],"english":["GA 143/1912-05-08/p027","GA 143/1912-05-08/p028"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":221,"en_words":216,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7582,"original_word_count":7177,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy S.
