Man könnte sagen, nach und nach verschwinden die Eigentümlichkeiten der sinnlich-physischen Welt, und es treten auf innerhalb unseres Bewußseinshorizontes die Gebilde und Wesenheiten und Tatsachen der geistigen Welt. Nun könnte man ein Wichtiges, das in dem, was so aufsteigt, an unser Bewußtsein herantritt, in der folgenden Weise bezeichnen: Wir selbst werden andere - selbstverständlich für unser Anschauen -, wir werden selber andere, und die Welt, die für das sinnliche Anschauen um uns herum ist, wird nun auch eine andere. Bleiben wir zunächst einmal bei dem, was uns am nächsten liegt, bei der Welt unserer Erde. Im Grunde genommen weiß der Mensch von der Welt außerhalb der Erde innerhalb des irdischen Lebenslaufes wahrhaft recht wenig, wenn wir stehenbleiben innerhalb der Art und Weise, wie wir mit unserem Erdenleben zusammengewachsen sind. Da stellt sich beim Vordringen in die geistige Welt - wir sind ja dann außerhalb unseres Leibes -, da stellt sich heraus, wenn wir auf unsern Leib oder unser ganzes physisches Leben oder überhaupt unseren ganzen Menschen zurückblicken, daß er im Grunde genommen immer reicher und reicher wird; er wird immer inhaltsvoller, dieser Mensch, er erweitert sich zu einer Welt. Es wächst geradezu der Mensch selber zu einer Welt aus, indem wir so auf ihn zurückblicken. Das ist die Wahrheit dessen, was oftmals betont wird: daß der Mensch, indem er geistig sich entwickelt, identisch wird mit der Welt. Er sieht eine neue Welt, eine Welt, innerhalb welcher er sonst steht, wie aus ihm selber hervorkommend. Er erweitert sich zu einer Welt. Von der Erde dagegen verschwindet das Feste oder dasjenige, was uns im gewöhnlichen physischen Anschauen als die Berge, Flüsse und so weiter erscheint. Das verschwindet, und wir lernen uns allmählich fühlen innerhalb der Erde, ich sage ausdrücklich innerhalb der Erde, wie in einem großen Organismus drinnen. Aus unserer eigenen Welt sind wir heraus, und diese Innenwelt, diese innere Wirklichkeit wird zu einer weiten Welt, und das, was uns als irdische Welt umgeben hat, wird wesenhaft, wird zu einem Wesen, in dem wir uns darinnen befindlich denken müssen, uns vorstellen können. Während wir aus uns herauswachsen, erweitert sich zugleich unsere Menschenwelt zu einer weiten Welt; sogleich wachsen wir dann hinein in den Erdorganismus und fühlen uns darinnen so, wie, sagen wir, wenn unser Finger Bewußtsein bekäme, er an unserem Organismus sich fühlen würde.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":403,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/157/1915-04-20/p009"}],"english":["GA 157/1915-04-20/p005","GA 157/1915-04-20/p006","GA 157/1915-04-20/p007"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":403,"en_words":361,"ratio":0.9,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.96,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4820,"original_word_count":5035,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"The Destinies of Individuals and of Nations","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA157/English/Singles/19150420p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
