Just think, the world in which the dead are with the dead, in this super-sensible world, the threads that join the dead to those still living, the threads that join the dead to the higher hierarchies, belong to the world in which we stand. Just as the air is around us, so truly is this world always around us. We are not separated from this world at all; only by conditions of consciousness are we separated from the world we cross into after death. This must be firmly emphasized, for even within our circle not everyone is clear about the fact that the dead will fully find the dead again, that we are separated only as long as we are in the physical body. The other is without the physical body, but all those forces must be acquired that bring us together with the dead through our disengaging ourselves from them. Otherwise they live in us, and we cannot become aware of them! We must also bring into the right sphere the force of love that is developed here through natural scientific conceptions, for otherwise this force becomes an evil force for us over there. Precisely the love that is developed through natural scientific conceptions is able to become an evil force. A force in itself is neither good nor evil; it is one or the other according to the sphere in which it manifests.","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.

So wahr die Luft um uns ist, so wahr ist diese Welt immer um uns herum. Wir sind gar nicht geschieden von dieser Welt; wir sind nur durch Bewußtseinszustände geschieden von der Welt, die wir nach dem 'Tode beschreiten. Es muß dieses scharf betont werden; denn auch innerhalb unserer Kreise sind noch nicht alle Freunde sich klar darüber, daß der Tote den Lebenden voll wiederfindet, daß wir nur geschieden sind, solange der eine hier im physischen Leib, der andere ohne den physischen Leib ist, aber daß alle diese Kräfte erworben werden müssen, welche uns mit den Toten zusammenbringen, dadurch daß wir sie von uns loslösen; sonst leben sie in uns, und wir können sie nicht gewahr werden. Dann auch, daß wir hinüberbringen müssen in die richtige Sphäre die Kraft der Liebe, die sich unter den naturalistischen Vorstellungen hier entwickelt, sonst wird diese Kraft für uns zu einer bösen Kraft drüben. Gerade die Liebe, die sich entwickelt unter den naturalistischen Vorstellungen, könnte sonst zu einer bösen Kraft werden.
