We already bear the germ of the Spirit-Self within us, as well as that of the Life-Spirit and Spirit-Man; they will evolve out of us in the future, though at present we only have them in germ within us. This is no mere abstract saying, it has quite a concrete significance, for we have meetings, real meetings with these higher principles of our being. These meetings take place in the following way. We, as human beings, would as time went on feel ourselves increasingly estranged from everything Spiritual—a state of things very difficult to endure—did we not from time to time encounter our Spirit-Self. Our ego must meet that higher Self,—the Spirit-Self which we have yet to develop, and which in a Spiritual respect is of like nature to the Hierarchy of Angels. So therefore we may say in simple language, and speaking in the Christian sense: we must from time to time meet with a being of the Hierarchy of the Angels, a being closely related to ourselves; and when it comes to us, it brings about in us a Spiritual change, which will enable us some day to take in a Spirit-Self. We must also meet with a being of the Hierarchy of the Archangels, for this being then so affects us that something is prepared which will some day lead to our developing the Life-Spirit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Human Soul and the Universe","site_heading":null,"date":"1917-02-20","location":null,"word_count":274,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/175/1917-02-20/p006","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:embedding","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"Cosmic and Human Metamorphoses","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA175/English/Singles/19170220p02.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.

Wir tragen als Keim schon das Geistselbst in uns, auch den Lebensgeist, auch den Geistesmenschen. Entwickeln aus uns werden sie sich später, aber wir tragen sie als Keim in uns. Und nicht nur so abstrakt, daß wir sie als Keim in uns tragen, ist das zu sagen, sondern dieses In-uns-Tragen ist ganz konkret gemeint, denn wir haben mit diesen höheren Gliedern unserer Wesenheit Begegnungen, wirkliche Begegnungen. Und diese Begegnungen, die liegen in der folgenden Weise: Wir würden als Menschen immer mehr und mehr dahin kommen, eine gewisse für die gegenwärtige Entwickelung des Menschen schwer erträgliche Entfremdung von allem Geistigen zu fühlen, wenn wir nicht von Zeit zu Zeit begegnen könnten unserem Geistselbst. Unser Ich muß jenem Höheren, jenem Geistselbst begegnen, das wir erst entwikkeln werden und das in einer gewissen Beziehung gleichartig ist mit Wesenheiten aus der Hierarchie der Angeloi. So daß man in der populären Sprache auch sagen kann, wenn wir christlich sprechen: Wir müssen von Zeit zu Zeit begegnen einem Wesen aus der Hierarchie der Angeloi, das uns besonders nahesteht, weil dieses Wesen, indem es uns begegnet, an uns geistig dasjenige vornimmt, was uns in die Lage versetzt, einstmals ein Geistselbst aufzunehmen. Und wir müssen eine Begegnung haben mit einem Wesen aus der Hierarchie der Archangeloi, weil dieses Wesen dann mit uns etwas vornimmt, was dazu führt, daß der Lebensgeist einstmals entwickelt wird und so weiter.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":274,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/175/1917-02-20/p007"}],"english":["GA 175/1917-02-20/p006"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":274,"en_words":274,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 175/1917-02-20/p007"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6377,"original_word_count":6316,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"Cosmic and Human Metamorphoses","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA175/English/Singles/19170220p02.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
