The time from death up to cremation lasted from Wednesday at six o'clock p. m. until Monday at eleven o'clock a. m. This interval was a little longer than usual. That is why the separation of the individuality from the etheric body had already happened, while the cremation took place. Now the peculiar was that in the time, in which the soul had already separated from the etheric body during the days between death and cremation, the necessity arose to me to speak certain words before and after the obituary. My own ability of coining words had really to do a little with the way these words were coined. However, by identifying with the soul of that personality the necessity resulted to characterise this personality as if an inspiration came from her soul itself. The soul said as it were: coin your words, so that they characterise my soul.—But the soul was still unconscious. The words came not consciously from the soul, but from the being of this soul. I had to characterise her as she wanted not to mirror herself in selfish way, but as she appeared to herself if another soul looked at her. For this other soul the necessity arose to speak the following words at the beginning of the funeral speech and to coin each single word.

Now, indeed, this soul was as it were like sleeping during the whole process, during the funeral ceremony. Then the cremation followed. Strangely enough the soul experienced a first flashing of consciousness, which later passed again, at the moment when, one cannot say the flame, but the heat seized the corpse. There one could say: now this soul has gone through the gate of death, it had taken off its etheric body, and it now appeared how such a soul looks back. In this retrospective view, the whole funeral ceremony stood before the soul, looking at the spoken words. Someone could see there the secret of time effectiveness for the soul, after it has gone through the gate of death. One could always have seen this in such a case. If one here in the physical body looks at something spatial and then leaves it, this object does not leave, but is left, and one can always look around—one sees that it is left. However, that does not hold true of something we experience in time in the physical life. There we have a memory picture of the events only. If one looks back after death at past events, they are left; one looks at the events like through space. Thus the words had been left; the soul looked back at them like at spatial things through the course of time. This is the way to look at the things of the Akasha Chronicle. Then a kind of sleeping state happened again. But particularly in this case it was rather clear that the fear of the materialistic soul is unfounded that the consciousness of the soul is reduced when it goes through the gate of death.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":305,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/159/1915-03-13/p025","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1915-03-13","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 159/1915-03-13/p019","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/159/1915-03-13/p019"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":504,"en_words":501,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

When we have taken off the etheric body, when the life tableau is taken off, we are full of consciousness that blinds us at first, and the human being must orientate himself first.—I gave more details in my talks of the Vienna cycle *The Inner Nature of the Human Being and Life Between Death and New Birth*.—The soul orientates itself, while it looks back at its own earth-life and at its character in this earth-life. It has to orientate itself by means of self-knowledge. The force of orientation must take hold there, and then the abundant consciousness is reduced as far as the human being is able to endure it, depending on what he has gone through in his last incarnation. It is, actually, reducing the superabundance of consciousness to the degree which the human being can endure. But that may happen in stages.

I said that you can experience these matters at every death, but I give you typical examples of the most recent time. It appeared to me with quite particular clearness in another case when a friendly personality, after it had reached higher years, has gone through the gate of death. During the last years which it lived through on earth it was given away with all feelings in a rare way to the impulses of spiritual science. It felt the details of spiritual science more than it grasped them with the mind, that it united with its soul the kind of feeling which gives not a theoretical, but a true view of spiritual science. Shortly after the hour of death, while the soul experienced the life tableau with its etheric body, it tried now to grasp its self where it had taken off its body. This process seemed likewise to ray forth to me, and I identified with it. I had then to note words shortly after death, when the soul was still united with the etheric body, which I have also not coined with the help of my human knowledge. These words are nothing else than a reproduction of that what the soul worked internally in itself to summarise what it had been able to get from spiritual science and came to an internally complete self-awareness that way. There the words sounded from the soul which I had to speak then also, following an inspiration, before and after the funeral speech.

The human being looks at this point in time permanently in the life between death and new birth. This moment belongs to the most marvellous, greatest at which one can generally look in the spiritual world. Death is always an immediate proof of the fact that the spirit incessantly celebrates his victory over the physical nature. And you experience this in yourself. That is why the soul wants to experience that which one can be also really in the soul after death. Hence, it is a help if a soul living in the body expresses that in words what the soul strives for, so that the soul clearly sees itself with the best it has before its own spiritual view after it has gone through the gate of death. I just could see in this case that such words came to me with an internal necessity which referred to the soul in question when I had to speak at the funeral and did not speak out of arbitrariness, but obeyed the divine voice which told me what I had to do.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":198,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/159/1915-03-13/p031","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1915-03-13","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 159/1915-03-13/p023","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/159/1915-03-13/p023"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":369,"en_words":367,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

He died in the thirtieth year of his life. On the 26th February he would have been thirty years old, he died shortly before. This friend, our dear Fritz Mitscher, has been somebody who was able to summarise that spiritual-scientifically what he had gained in learning—he had a disposition to scholarship,—with infinite, sacrificing devotion, and thus, indeed, he stood before something our movement needs so much: taking up our extensive science in oneself, so that one penetrates it spiritual-scientifically and reports it spiritual-scientifically, so that one stands completely on the ground of the scientific present. He was well prepared for that. Even if now the karma runs a way that such souls go early through the gate of death, this has its significance in the whole world course. Like in the other cases—because I was urged just by karma to speak at the funeral,—it was there also that I had to speak words in the beginning and at the end of the funeral speech which had to be spoken again in the same manner, transporting myself into the soul's being, so that I coined the words again not arbitrarily, but grasped them in the lively being together with the deceased.

Die Zeit bis zur Einäscherung vom Tode ab dauerte vom Mittwoch abends sechs Uhr, wo der Tod eintrat, bis Montag früh um elf Uhr. Also eine etwas längere Zeit als gewöhnlich. Dadurch war die Abtrennung der Individualität von dem Ätherleib, während die Einäscherung geschah, schon geschehen. Nun war das Eigentümliche, daß in der Zeit, in welcher die Seele sich in den Tagen zwischen dem Eintreten des Todes und der Einäscherung schon vom Ätherleib losgetrennt hatte, die Notwendigkeit an mich herantrat: Du mußt vor der Einäscherungsrede und nachher, gewisse Worte sprechen. Wie diese Worte geprägt waren, damit hatte dasjenige, was eigenes Können, eigenes Wortprägen tut, wirklich recht wenig zu tun, sondern es ergab sich durch die Identifikation mit der Seele der Persönlichkeit, die durch die Pforte des Todes gegangen war, die Notwendigkeit, diese Seele zu charakterisieren, aber so zu charakterisieren, daß die Charakteristik gegeben war wie eine Eingebung, wie eine Erleuchtung, die von der Seele selbst kam. Die Seele sagte gleichsam: Präge Worte, durch die dasjenige in tönenden Worten erscheint, was meine Seele charakterisiert. - Aber es war in der Seele noch Unbewußtheit. Nicht bewußt rührten die Worte von der Seele her, sondern sie rührten von dem Wesen dieser Seele her. Ich mußte sie charakterisieren, wie sie sich nicht in egoistischer Weise selbst bespiegeln wollte, sondern wie sie sich erschien, wenn eine andere Seele sie betrachtete. Und für diese andere Seele ergab sich die Notwendigkeit bis in die Prägung der einzelnen Worte hinein, am Anfang desjenigen, was man eine Leichenrede nennen könnte, das Folgende zu sprechen.

Nun war in der Tat diese Seele gewissermaßen wie schlafend während des ganzen Vorganges, während der Bestattungszeremonie. Dann folgte die Einäscherung. Das Merkwürdige trat ein, daß der erste Augenblick eines nachher wiederum vergehenden Aufblitzens des Bewußtseins für die Seele in dem Moment eintrat, wo, man kann nicht sagen die Flamme, sondern die Wärme den Leichnam ergriff. Da konnte man sagen: Diese Seele ist nun durch die Pforte des Todes gegangen, ihren Ätherleib hatte sie abgelegt, und nun zeigte sich, wie eine solche Seele zurückblickt. Vor dieser Seele stand in diesem Rückblick die ganze Bestattungszeremonie, das heißt das, was gesprochen worden war; darauf blickte sie hin. Und man könnte da das Geheimnis der Zeitenwirksamkeit für die Seele sehen, nachdem sie durch die Pforte des Todes gegangen ist. Das hätte man in einem solchen Falle immer sehen können. Wenn man hier im physischen Leib auf etwas, was im Raume steht, hinblickt und dann davon weggeht, so geht dieser Gegenstand nicht weg, sondern bleibt stehen, und man kann sich immer umschauen — man sieht, er bleibt stehen. So ist es aber nicht mit dem, was wir zeitlich erleben im physischen Leben; da haben wir nur ein Erinnerungsbild der Ereignisse. Wenn man dagegen nach dem Tode auf vergangene Ereignisse zurückblickt, so bleiben sie stehen; man blickt wie durch den Raum hindurch auf die Ereignisse. So war also stehengeblieben, was gesprochen worden war, die Seele blickte darauf zurück wie auf ein Raumgebilde durch den Zeitenlauf hindurch. Das ist das Hinblicken auf die Gebilde der Akasha-Chronik. Dann trat wiederum eine Art Schlafzustand ein. Aber besonders in diesem Falle zeigte sich so recht klar, wie unbegründet die Befürchtung der materialistischen Seele ist, daß das Bewußtsein, wenn die Seele durch die Pforte des Todes geht, herabgemindert werden könne. Wir haben nach dem Tode, wenn wir in eine Art Schlafzustand sinken, bis zum späteren Erwachen nicht kein oder zu wenig Bewußtsein, sondern wir haben zu viel Bewußtsein. Wir sind zunächst, wenn wir den Ätherleib abgelegt haben, wenn das Lebenstableau abgelegt ist, so erfüllt von Bewußtsein - ich habe darüber in dem in Wien gehaltenen Zyklus «Inneres Wesen des Menschen und Leben zwischen Tod und neuer Geburt» Näheres gesagt -, daß das Bewußtsein zunächst blendet, und der Mensch muß sich zuerst orientieren. Und er orientiert sich, indem er auf sein eigenes Erdenleben und auf seinen Charakter in diesem Erdenleben zurückblickt. An der Selbsterkenntnis muß er sich orientieren, da muß die Orientierungskraft angreifen, und von da aus wird dann gewissermaßen dasjenige, was zu viel Bewußtsein ist, so weit herabgedämpft, daß der Mensch, je nachdem, was er durch die letzte Inkarnation durchgemacht hat, es ertragen kann. Es ist also eigentlich ein Herabdärnpfen der Überfülle des Bewußtseins, die da war, bis zu dem Grade, den der Mensch ertragen kann. Aber es kann das etappenweise auftreten. Und unter dem Eindruck des Ergriffenwerdens des Leibes von der Wärme, der Hitze, entstand ein erstes Aufblitzen von wirklichem Bewußtsein in der Seele bei dieser uns befreundeten Persönlichkeit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":504,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/159/1915-03-13/p019"},{"locus":"GA 159/1915-03-13/p020","passage_number":20,"text":"Daß die Seele aber danach strebt, wenn sie durch die Pforte des Todes gegangen ist, dasjenige zusammenzufassen, was in ihr ist, das zeigte sich mir besonders deutlich an einem andern Fall.

Es zeigte sich mir mit ganz besonderer Deutlichkeit bei einem andern Falle, wo eine befreundete Persönlichkeit, nachdem sie höhere Jahre erreicht hatte, durch die Pforte des Todes gegangen ist. Die letzten Jahre, die sie auf der Erde durchlebte, war sie mit allen Gefühlen und Empfindungen in einer seltenen Weise an das hingegeben, was man die Impulse der Geisteswissenschaft nennen kann. Sie war so, daß sie alles einzelne der Geisteswissenschaft mehr fühlte, als mit dem Verstande erfaßte, daß sie mit der Seele vereinigte die Art der Empfindung, des Fühlens, welches eine nicht theoretische, sondern lebenswahre Auffassung der Geisteswissenschaft gibt. Nun war es bei dieser Persönlichkeit so, daß ganz kurz nach der Todesstunde, während des Hineinlebens in das Lebenstableau mit dem Ätherleib, wie hinstrahlte von der Seele, mit der man sich dann identifizierte, dasjenige, was diese Seele als ihr Selbst jetzt zu erfassen suchte, wo sie den Leib abgelegt hatte. Und ich mußte mir dann ganz kurz nach dem Tode, als die Seele mit dem Ätherleibe noch vereinigt war, Worte aufschreiben, die ich auch wiederum nicht geprägt habe durch mein Menschenwissen, sondern die nichts anderes sind als eine Wiedergabe dessen, was die Seele sich innerlich in sich selbst erarbeitete, um gleichsam zusammenzufassen wie in eine Art Resümee dasjenige, was sie aus der Geisteswissenschaft hatte bekommen können, um zu einem innerlich vollen Selbstbewußtsein zu kommen. Da tönte es in der Seele mit den Worten, die ich dann auch, einer Eingebung folgend, vor und nach der Bestattungsrede zu sprechen hatte.

Und man konnte deutlich sehen, wie es für den Toten eine gewisse Hilfe ist, wenn der noch im physischen Leibe Weilende ihm hilft zu formulieren, in Worte zu fassen dasjenige, was in ihm waltet und webt. Selbstverständlich kommen später die Zeiten, wo der Mensch seine Schwächen und seine Fehler, seine Sünden erblickt in der Seelenwelt. Aber das müssen wir festhalten: So sehr zuweilen der Tod von denen, die noch im Leibe weilen, gefürchtet wird, von der andern Seite rückblickend gesehen, nimmt sich der Tod ganz anders aus. Hier im physischen Leben kann kein Mensch mit den gewöhnlichen Menschenkräften bis zur Stunde seiner Geburt zurückblicken. Eigentlich gibt es für keinen Menschen, der nicht hellsichtige Kräfte hat, eine Möglichkeit, sein Eintreten in die Welt anzuschauen; erst später tritt der Zeitpunkt ein, bis zu dem man zurückschauen kann. Gerade das Umgekehrte ist der Fall mit jener Geburt für die geistige Welt, die wir den Tod nennen. Auf diesen Zeitpunkt blickt der Mensch unausgesetzt in dem Leben zwischen Tod und neuer Geburt. Allein dieser Moment gehört zum Herrlichsten, Großartigsten, zum Allerschönsten, auf das man überhaupt in der geistigen Welt sehen kann. Von der andern Seite gesehen ist der Tod immer unmittelbar beweiskräftig dafür, daß der Geist unablässig seinen Sieg über die Leiblichkeit feiert. Und das erlebt man an sich selbst. Daher dieses Streben, das, was man sein kann, auch wirklich in der Seele nach dem Tode zu erleben. Daher ist es eine Hilfe, wenn eine im Leibe lebende Seele dasjenige in Worte prägt, wonach die Seele strebt, damit ihr das, was sie ist, klar mit all dem Besten, das sie hat, vor dem eigenen geistigen Blick stehe, nachdem sie durch die Pforte des Todes gegangen ist. Man konnte gerade in diesem Falle so recht sehen, wie einem mit einer inneren Notwendigkeit solche Worte kommen, die sich auf das Selbst der betreffenden Seele beziehen, wenn man bei der Bestattung zu sprechen hat und nicht aus Willkür heraus spricht, sondern der göttlichen Stimme gehorcht, die einen zu tun heißt, was man zu tun hat.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":369,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/159/1915-03-13/p023"},{"locus":"GA 159/1915-03-13/p024","passage_number":24,"text":"In einem noch andern Falle zeigte sich mir das durch den karmischen Verlauf der letzten Zeiten, als einer unserer Freunde in früher Jugend starb, der zu großen Hoffnungen gerade für unsere Bewegung berechtigt hat.
