They endeavour to form a more inner bond than is normal in the course of man's evolution between the human soul and that bodily nature that is to be found upon earth, the dense, coarse corporeality which from the sixth post-Atlantean epoch on, will be found on earth. The culture of the soul will be deepened, what is of a bodily nature will coarsen. A more inward connection with this bodily nature then is normal is, however, striven for in the least, in America, a more intensive descent into the body. Man will go towards what seeps through, will approach it by an intensive penetration into what is of the body. Whereas the Orientals wish to found a culture that takes no account of the human body, in the future earthly evolution, in the American culture of the West there will be an endeavor to chain the soul to the future evolution of the earth. There is a desire so to form the body that when souls have passed through the gate of death, they will be able to return as quickly as possible into a body and spend as short a time as possible from sojourning in the spiritual world and there will be the desire to return to earth as soon as possible, to be as closely united as possible with earthly life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"Soul Boundaries and Future Human Evolution","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.

Sie streben danach, eine innigere Gemeinschaft zu bilden, als im normalen Verlauf der Menschheitsentwickelung geschehen soll, zwischen den Menschenseelen und derjenigen Leiblichkeit, welche auf der Erde zu finden sein wird, der dichten, groben Leiblichkeit, die auf der Erde zu finden sein wird von dem sechsten nachatlantischen Zeitraume an. Die seelische Kultur wird sehr vertieft sein, aber die leibliche wird grob sein. Aber eine innigere Verbindung mit dieser groben Leiblichkeit strebt man im amerikanischen Westen an, eine innigere Verbindung als die normale ist, ein stärkeres Untertauchen in die Leiblichkeit. Man will entgegenkommen dem, was da durchsickert (siehe Zeichnung Seite 45, links), will ihm entgegengehen durch stärkeres Eindringen in die Leiblichkeit. Während man also eine Kultur begründen will von seiten der Orientalen, die nicht rechnet mit den Menschenleibern der späteren Erdenentwickelung, will man die Seelen ketten an diese spätere Erdenentwickelung innerhalb der amerikanischen Kultur des Westens. Man will die Leiber möglichst so gestalten, daß die Seelen, wenn sie durch den Tod gegangen sind, möglichst bald wiederum in einen Leib herunterkommen können, daß sie möglichst wenig sich aufhalten in der geistigen Welt. Man will die Seelen möglichst abhalten von einem Aufenthalt in der geistigen Welt, man will, daß sie möglichst bald wiederum auf die Erde herunterkommen. Man will sie innigst verbinden mit dem Leben der Erde.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":228,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/183/1918-08-19/p015"}],"english":["GA 183/1918-08-19/p025"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":228,"en_words":238,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4973,"original_word_count":4778,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"LRZ253","book_title":"Occult Psychology","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA183/English/LRZ253/19180819p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
