And again there is no one—did people but know it—who does not bring with him at the moment of waking countless tidings from the dead. In the unconscious region of the soul we are speaking continually with the dead. At the moment of falling asleep we put our questions to them, we say to them what, in the depths of the soul, we have to say. At the moment of waking the dead speak with us, give us the answers. But we must grasp the connection that these are only two different points and that, in the higher sense, these things that happen after each other are really simultaneous, just as on the physical plane two places are simultaneous.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Dead are with Us","site_heading":null,"date":"1918-02-10","location":null,"word_count":140,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/182/1918-02-10/p021","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"D.

Es gibt gar nicht im Menschenleben Augenblicke des Einschlafens und Aufwachens, ohne daß man mit den Toten in Beziehung tritt. Nun ist der Moment des Einschlafens in bezug auf den Verkehr mit den Toten besonders günstig dafür, daß wir uns an den Toten wenden. Wenn wir den Toten etwas fragen wollen, und wir können die Frage in unserer Seele hegen und sie erhalten bis zum Moment des Einschlafens, so daß wir unsere Fragen, unsere Anrede, oder das, was wir mitteilen wollen, bis zum Moment des Einschlafens halten: da ist das der günstigste Moment, da bringen wir unsere Fragen am besten an den Toten heran, da ist dieses am leichtesten. Es ist sonst auch vorhanden, aber hier ist es am leichtesten. Wenn wir also den Toten vorlesen, so kommen wir schon an die Toten heran, aber ich meine: Unmittelbarer Verkehr ist am günstigsten mit Bezug auf das, was wir an den Toten richten, wenn wir das, was wir zu sagen haben, im Momente des Einschlafens sagen. Dagegen für das, was der Tote uns mitzuteilen hat, ist der Moment des Aufwachens das Günstigste. Und wiederum ist es so, daß es für niemanden so ist, daß er nicht vom Moment des Aufwachens, wenn er es wissen könnte, zahlreiche Botschaften von Toten hereinbringt. Wir reden eigentlich fortwährend mit den Toten in dem Unbewußten unserer Seele. Beim Einschlafen stellen wir Fragen an die Toten. Wir sagen ihnen das, was wir ihnen zu sagen haben in den Tiefen unserer Seele. Beim Aufwachen reden die Toten mit uns. Da geben sie uns die Antworten. Nur müssen wir eben diese Vorstellung haben, daß das nur zwei verschiedene Punkte sind, und daß im höheren Sinne, was nacheinander ist, eigentlich gleichzeitig ist, wie zwei Orte im physischen Plan gleichzeitig sind. Nun ist für den Verkehr mit den Toten das eine günstiger, das andere ungünstiger.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":319,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/182/1918-02-10/p024"}],"english":["GA 182/1918-02-10/p019","GA 182/1918-02-10/p020","GA 182/1918-02-10/p021"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":319,"en_words":282,"ratio":0.88,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 182/1918-02-10/p024"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.97,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7530,"original_word_count":7780,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"D.
