After death, however, an individual not only needs the ability to disengage himself from the beings of the spiritual world and have them before him but he also needs the capacity for love after death. Otherwise he would not be able to develop in the right way relationships to the beings that are seen through wisdom. One needs love. But the love that is developed here on earth is essentially dependent on the physical body; it is a feeling, which here in the physical world is dependent upon the rhythm of breathing. This love we cannot take over into the spiritual world. It would be a total illusion to suppose that the love developed here, especially at the present time, can be taken over into the spiritual world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Mystery of the Double: Geographic Medicine","site_heading":"Geographic Medicine and the Ahrimanic Double in Human Nature","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.

Aber man braucht nach dem Tode auch noch etwas anderes; man braucht nach dem Tode nicht nur die Fähigkeit, die Wesen loszulösen, so daß man sie überhaupt vor sich haben kann, die Wesen der geistigen Welt, man braucht nach dem Tode auch die Fähigkeit der Liebe, sonst würde man die Verhältnisse zu den Wesen, die man durch Weisheit schaut, nicht in der richtigen Weise entwickeln können. Man braucht Liebe. Aber die Liebe, die hier auf der Erde entwickelt wird und die im wesentlichen abhängig ist auch vom physischen Leibe, sie ist ein Gefühl, sie ist vom Atmungsrhythmus abhängig hier in der physischen Welt. Diese Liebe können wir auch nicht hinübernehmen in die geistige Welt. Das wäre eine vollständige Illusion, wenn man glauben würde, die Liebe, die man namentlich in der jetzigen Zeit hier entwickelt, die könne man in die geistige Welt hinübernehmen. Aber man nimmt alle Kraft der Liebe in die geistige Welt hinüber von dem, was man sich hier in der physischen Welt gerade durch die sinnenfällige Anschauung erwirbt, durch das Leben mit der physischen Wesenheit. Die Liebe wird schon angefeuert durch dasjenige, was sich hier in der physischen Welt an Verständnis für diese physische Welt entwickelt. Und gerade solche Erlebnisse wie die Weltanschauungserlebnisse mit der modernen Naturwissenschaft, wenn man sie als Empfindungen aufnimmt, die entwickeln für drüben die Liebe. Nur — die Liebe, die ist etwas, was hoch oder niedrig ist, je nach dem Gebiete, auf dem sie sich entfaltet. Wenn Sie durchgehen durch die Pforte des Todes und als ein zerstörendes Zentrum im Bereich der Erde bleiben müssen, so haben Sie zwar auch viel Liebe entwickelt — denn daß Sie es bleiben müssen, ist gerade eine Folge Ihres Verbundenseins mit rein naturalistischen Begriffen -, aber Sie verwenden diese Liebe auf das Zerstörungswerk, Sie lieben dann gerade das Zerstörungswerk, sind dazu verurteilt, sich selber zu beobachten, wie Sie das Zerstörungswerk lieben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":324,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/178/1917-11-16/p016"}],"english":["GA 178/1917-11-16/p021","GA 178/1917-11-16/p022"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":324,"en_words":309,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10164,"original_word_count":10093,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Alice Wulsin","identified_edition":"MP1986","book_title":"Geographic Medicine","publisher":"Mercury Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA178/English/MP1986/19171116p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
