It seems to lead inevitably to the loss of our ability to imbue ourselves with thoughts related to the spiritual worlds. That would mean we would have less light after death to illuminate our spiritual environment by ourselves. After all, no sun will shine from the outside on the world around us then, the light has to come from us. We then take the place of the sun and illuminate our surroundings after death. People unable to do this will have to return and repeat life on earth to assimilate thoughts and ideas that are fruitful for their existence after death. When we understand this, more than the usual enthusiasm for spreading spiritual science will loosen our tongue and prompt us to speak. Believing in what we know—that will be the need of humanity in the future.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Presence of the Dead on the Spiritual Path","date":"1914-04-17","location":null,"word_count":143,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/154/1914-04-17/p014","alignment_confidence":"low","alignment_reason":"count_diverges","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"identified_edition":"AP1990","translator":"Christian von Arnim and edited by Joachim Reuter","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA154/English/AP1990/PreDea_index.html"},"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["English"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/154/1914-04-17/p014"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/154/1914-04-17/p014","paragraph_aligned":true}],"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1914-04-17","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 154/1914-04-17/p008","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/154/1914-04-17/p008"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","length_check":{"de_words":641,"en_words":436,"ratio":0.68,"partial":true},"correspondence":"partial","note":"PARTIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

One or more of the German passages above is likely NOT represented in this translation at all. Do not treat the English as carrying their content: read the German passages directly, and if you need to quote, quote the German. Absence of a phrase from the English here is NOT evidence it is absent from Steiner."}}
