When we gradually approach the moment of waking up, we really experience it in the same way (we may again compare this Imagination with external Nature) in which we experience the approach of winter, with its destructive and paralyzing effect on the greening growing life of summer. We dive down into the physical and etheric body when we wake up, and even as the winter brings cold and frost which destroy the glory of summer, so we dive into the physical and etheric body in the same way in which the winter dives down into the earth. We destroy the forces which entered from the elemental sphere of the cosmos into our physical and etheric body like a vegetation or an animal world, we destroy them in the same way in which the winter destroys the glory of summer.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Effects of the Christ-Impulse Upon the Historical Course of Human Evolution","site_heading":null,"date":"1915-05-07","location":null,"word_count":152,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/159/1915-05-07/p016","alignment_confidence":"low","alignment_reason":"count_diverges","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"The Mystery of Death","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA159/English/Singles/19150507p02.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.

Indem wir uns allmählich zum Aufwachen anzuschicken haben, erleben wir das wirklich so, wie wir in der äußeren Natur - wir können die Imagination wieder mit der äußeren Natur vergleichen — das Hereinziehen des Winters erleben mit alledem, was er an Zerstörendem, Lähmendem und Vernichtendem für das sprossende und sprießende Sommerleben hat. Und so wie der Winter über die Erde den Frost und die Kälte bringt und die Zerstörung dessen, was Sommerherrlichkeit ist, tauchen wir selber in den physischen Leib und Ätherleib ein. Was an Kräften wirklich wie eine Vegetation, sogar wie eine Tierwelt aus der elementarischen Welt des Kosmos in unseren physischen Leib und Ätherleib eingezogen ist, dem bereiten wir mit dem Aufwachen den Untergang, wie der Winter den Untergang der Sommerherrlichkeit bereitet. Und während wir wachend sind, versetzen wir wirklich, durch unsere Anwesenheit in unserem physischen Leib und Ätherleib, diese in einen solchen Zustand, wie die Verhältnisse des Kosmos die Erde versetzen, wenn Winter ist. Wir breiten den Winter über unsere eigene physische und ätherische Wesenheit aus, indem wir in sie einziehen. Sie sehen daraus zugleich, wie dasjenige, was man von physischen Gesichtspunkten aus oftmals als Vergleich gebraucht, für das geistige Anschauen nicht stimmt. Gewiß, aus dem Gefühl heraus hat schon der Mensch das Bewußtsein, daß er mit dem ganzen Kosmos zusammenhängt und daß gewissermaßen dasjenige, was er erlebt, ein mikrokosmisches Abbild des Makrokosmos ist. Aber es liegt dem Menschen dann nahe, wenn er wirklich etwas in seinem mikrokosmischen Leben mit dem makrokosmischen Leben vergleichen will, zu sagen: Das Aufwachen ist wie das Hereinkommen des Frühlings in unser Leben, und das Wachleben ist wie der Sommer. Und der Herbst ist wie das abendliche Müdewerden, das Schlafesleben ist wie der Winter. - Gerade das Umgekehrte ist Wirklichkeit. Das Sommerleben ist das Schlafesleben und das Winterleben ist das Wachleben. Das ist die Wahrheit der Sache.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":316,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/159/1915-05-07/p007"}],"english":["GA 159/1915-05-07/p016","GA 159/1915-05-07/p017","GA 159/1915-05-07/p018"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":316,"en_words":322,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 159/1915-05-07/p007"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.08,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8821,"original_word_count":8196,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"The Mystery of Death","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA159/English/Singles/19150507p02.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
