Through whatever is for him an easterly direction the dead person journeys at a certain moment into the purely spiritual world. The direction is to the East. It is important to be aware of this. Indeed, an old saying found in various secret brotherhoods, preserved from the better days of mankind's occult knowledge, still points to this. Various brotherhoods speak of one who has died as having ‘entered into the eternal East’. Such things, when they are not foolish trappings added later, correspond to ancient truths. Just as we had to say that the organs of the breast are formed out of the East, so must we imagine the departure of the dead as going through the East. By stepping out of the physical world through the East into the spiritual world, the dead person achieves the possibility of participating in the forces which operate, not centrifugally as here on earth, but centripetally towards the centre of the earth. He enters into the sphere out of which it is possible to work towards the earth.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture XXII","site_heading":"The Dead, Materialism, and Spiritual Concepts","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Und durch den jeweiligen Osten wandelt in einem gewissen Zeitpunkte der Tote in die rein geistige Welt hinein. Das ist also die Richtung nach dem Osten. Es ist wichtig, dieses sich einmal zu vergegenwärtigen, weil ein altes Wort verschiedener Brüderschaften, das aus besseren Zeiten der okkulten Menschheitserkenntnis sich bewahrt hat, heute noch darauf aufmerksam macht. In allerlei Brüderschaften wird von demjenigen, der gestorben ist, so gesprochen, daß er «eingegangen ist in den ewigen Osten». Solche Dinge, insofern sie nicht später zugesetzter Firlefanz sind, entsprechen alten Wahrheiten. Geradeso wie wir hier davon sprechen mußten, daß die Brustorgane ihre Gliederung aus dem Osten haben, so müssen wir das Hingehen, den Hingang des Toten durch den Osten uns vorstellen. Indem aber der Tote durch den Osten gewissermaßen austritt aus der physischen Welt in die geistige hinein, gelangt er schon in das Gebiet der Sphäre, das heißt, er erlangt die Möglichkeit, an den Sphärenkräften teilzunehmen, die nun nicht, wie hier der Mensch, zentrifugal, sondern zentripetal nach dem Mittelpunkte der Erde hin wirken; er gelangt in die Sphäre hinein, in die Möglichkeit, nach der Erde zu wirken.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":213,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/173c/1917-01-21/p027"}],"english":["GA 173c/1917-01-21/p029"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":213,"en_words":215,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.97,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6085,"original_word_count":6271,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"RSP1988","book_title":"The Karma of Untruthfulness II","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA173c/English/RSP1988/19170121p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
