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. You will immediately notice the great difference to the whole tone of those words I gave for the other personality before.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Ich sagte, diese Dinge kann man ja bei jedem Tode erleben, aber ich führe Ihnen charakteristische Beispiele aus der allerjüngsten Zeit an. 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. Sie werden gleich den großen Unterschied zwischen dem ganzen Ton dieser Worte merken, die ich für die andere Persönlichkeit vorher angeführt habe.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":321,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/159/1915-03-13/p020"}],"english":["GA 159/1915-03-13/p027"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":321,"en_words":299,"ratio":0.93,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9256,"original_word_count":9181,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"UNK2013","book_title":"The Mystery of Death","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA159/English/UNK2013/19150313p02.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
