The Connection Between Humans and the Spiritual World

In general, what human beings experience here is connected in many ways with the greater world, with the macrocosm, so that what is experienced here in the microcosm, in human beings, can always be expressed in terms of its relationship to the macrocosm. I would like to draw attention to one example: if we calculate the number of days in a human life, we arrive at the same number that the sun needs to pass through the entire Platonic year, the world year. Thus, human beings live a lifetime of as many days as the sun needs to advance through the entire circle of the world, from one sign of the zodiac to the next. When it has passed through all the signs of the zodiac, it has taken approximately 25,900 years. This is approximately how many days a human being lives – of course, this is not the same for everyone – in their individual life between birth and death.
