For the one who wants to think as spiritual science makes necessary, who must become accustomed to this much more mobile world, releases something that otherwise only lives [hidden] in the human being, so that it unfolds out of the human being. In our feeling, as we brought it with us at our birth, the rhythm of the world lives. More than we realize, the entire rhythm of the world lives in us. This can even be proven mathematically, but very few people know about these secrets of existence. Do not be afraid to join me in considering how the entire rhythm of the world lives in our own organism, in what goes on within us. You know that the sunrise moves a little further each year. If we go back in time, the so-called vernal point of the sun was in Taurus; then it came into Aries, but in Aries it moved further every year; now it is in Pisces. The sun does not rise at the same point every year on March 21; that's how it comes around the whole circle. And after about 25,920 years, the sun goes all the way around, apparently, of course, describing the whole ellipse. If it rises today at a certain point in Pisces, it will return there in 25,920 years. The strange thing is: if you consider these approximately 25,920 years as the great cosmic year, as the ancient Greeks did, and you now look for one day of this cosmic year, you have to divide by 365. What is one day of this great cosmic year? That is approximately 70 to 71 years. That is, on average, a human life when a person grows old. If you think of a human life as it is spent here on earth as one day, and take the whole Platonic year, it is 365 times as much. That is how long it takes the sun to make one revolution around the world: 365 days, of which a person lives through one in an earthly life. It is a beautiful rhythm, but this rhythm goes much further. Consider that we take about 18 breaths in one minute. These 18 breaths multiplied by 60 give the number of breaths in one hour; this multiplied by 24 gives the number of breaths in one day and one night. If you calculate 18 times 60 times 24, you get: 25,920. That means you take as many breaths in one day as the sun takes [Earth years] to go through its own year. The same rhythm is in your breathing inside that is in the course of the sun outside. And again, the strange thing is: you spend a day breathing 25,920 times in one day. Take a day and treat it as if it were a breath: in a sense, a day is a breath, because in the morning our body and our etheric body breathe in our ego and the astral body, and in the evening, when we fall asleep, we breathe out our ego and the astral body; it is one inhalation and one exhalation. How often do we do this in a single day, in about 70 to 71 years? We do this breathing, which means that we live – calculate it in a day – almost exactly 25,920 times. That is how many days we live in 71 years. The individual breath is therefore related to the breaths of the whole twenty-four-hour day like the advance of the vernal point in one year to the advance of the sun through 25,920 years. In relation to the great solar year of 25,920, a single human life on earth is like a day, a day of our life, a twenty-four-hour day occurs as many times in our 71-year life as there are years in the solar cycle. Imagine what it actually means that we are part of the wonderful rhythm of the sunlit cosmos, that our life, insofar as it is inner human life, is purely mathematically expressed in the great music of the spheres of the cosmos!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Denn derjenige, der so denken will, wie Geisteswissenschaft es notwendig macht, der sich an diese viel beweglichere Welt gewöhnen muß, der macht etwas, was sonst nur [verborgen] im Menschen lebt, frei, so daß es aus dem Menschen heraus sich entfaltet. In unserem Fühlen, wie wir es mitgebracht haben in unsere Geburt, lebt der Weltenrhythmus. Mehr als man glaubt, lebt der ganze Weltenrhythmus in uns. Das läßt sich sogar zahlenmäßig nachweisen, nur wissen die wenigsten Menschen etwas von diesen Geheimnissen des Daseins. Scheuen Sie es nicht, mit mir diese Betrachtungen anzustellen, wie der ganze Weltenrhythmus lebt in unserem eigenen Organismus, in dem, was in uns vorgeht. Sie wissen: Der Sonnenaufgang rückt jedes Jahr ein Stückchen weiter. Wenn wir zurückgehen in alte Zeiten, war der sogenannte Frühlingspunkt der Sonne im Stier; dann kam er in den Widder, aber in dem Widder jedes Jahr weiterrückend; jetzt ist er in den Fischen. Die Sonne geht nicht jedes Jahr am 21. März an demselben Punkte auf; dadurch kommt sie ja die ganze Kreisbahn herum. Und nach 25920 Jahren ungefähr geht die Sonne ganz herum, scheinbar natürlich, beschreibt die ganze Ellipse. Wenn sie heute in einem bestimmten Punkt der Fische aufgeht, kommt sie in 25920 Jahren wieder dahin zurück. Das Kuriose ist: Wenn Sie diese ungefähr 25920 Jahre betrachten als das große Weltenjahr, wie es die alten Griechen betrachtet haben, und Sie suchen nun einen Tag dieses Weltenjahres, so müssen Sie durch 365 dividieren. Was ist dann ein Tag dieses großen Weltenjahres? Das sind ungefähr 70 bis 71 Jahre. Das ist nämlich im Durchschnitt ein Menschenleben, wenn der Mensch alt wird. Wenn Sie sich das Menschenleben, wie es hier auf der Erde zugebracht wird, als einen Tag denken, und das ganze platonische Jahr nehmen, so ist das 365 mal so viel. Das braucht die Sonne, um einmal in der Welt ihren Umgang zu machen: 365 Tage, von denen der Mensch einen in einem Erdenleben durchlebt. Es ist ein schöner Rhythmus, aber dieser Rhythmus geht viel weiter. Bedenken Sie, daß wir in einer Minute ungefähr 18 Atemzüge machen. Diese 18 Atemzüge, multipliziert mit 60, geben die Atemzüge einer Stunde; dieses multipliziert mit 24 gibt die Atemzüge in einem Tag und einer Nacht. Wenn Sie 18 mal 60 mal 24 rechnen, so bekommen Sie heraus: 25920. Das heißt, Sie machen soviel Atemzüge in einem Tage, als die Sonne [Erdenjahre] braucht, um durch ihr eigenes Jahr durchzugehen. Derselbe Rhythmus ist in Ihrem Atmen innerlich, der äußerlich im Gang der Sonne ist. Und wiederum ist das Merkwürdige: Da bringen Sie einen Tag zu, indem Sie in einem Tag 25920 mal atmen. Nehmen Sie einen Tag so, daf3 Sie ihn behandeln wie einen Atemzug: er ist in gewissem Sinne ein Atemzug, so ein Tag, denn morgens atmet unser Leib und unser Ätherleib unser Ich und den Astralleib ein, und am Abend beim Einschlafen atmen wir unser Ich und den Astralleib aus; ein Einatmen und Ausatmen ist das. Wie oft machen wir das in einem Sonnentage, in ungefähr 70 bis 71 Jahren? Wir machen dieses Atmen, das heißßt das Leben in einem Tage rechnen Sie es aus - fast genau 25920 mal. Soviel Tage leben wir nämlich in 71 Jahren. Der einzelne Atemzug verhält sich also zu den Atemzügen des ganzen vierundzwanzigstündigen Tages wie das Vorrücken des Frühlingspunktes in einem Jahr zu dem Vorrücken der Sonne durch 25920 Jahre. Das einzelne menschliche Erdenleben ist im Verhältnis zum großen Sonnenjahr von 25920 wie ein Tag, ein Tag unseres Lebens, ein vierundzwanzigstündiger Tag ist ebenso viele Male in unserem 71 Jahre währenden Leben drinnen wie ein Jahr im Sonnenumlauf. Denken Sie sich, was das eigentlich bedeutet, daß wir so in dem wunderbaren Rhythmus des sonnendurchglänzten Kosmos drinnenstehen, daß unser Leben, insofern es inneres Menschenleben ist, rein rechnerisch ausdrückt die große Sphärenmusik des Kosmos!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":639,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/182/1918-04-29/p013"}],"english":["GA 182/1918-04-29/p013"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":639,"en_words":692,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7548,"original_word_count":7273,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Death as a Way of Life","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA182/English/SOL2024/19180429p01.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.
