For we are placed into this whole cosmic life in true way I have been picturing during these last few days. It is true, however, that we have to go more deeply into the framework of actual human evolution throughout earthly time to come to correct concepts of these matters. I think you will agree it might be possible that someone through a special stroke of luck—if one might so call it—were able to see clairvoyantly, the whole of what I have been describing. This stroke of luck, however, could only bring him to the point of seeing ever changing images. It is something like this—a man through some kind of miracle—but nowadays it would not happen through a miracle—or let us say through clairvoyant vision, super-sensible vision, a man might see something of the nature of what I have been trying to picture, namely man's life of soul and spirit. You will find it obvious that this should look rather different from what a short time ago I was describing as the normal aura, if you understand what I was describing only a few days ago as the aura revealed when the whole man is seen, that is, physical man with his encircling aura. But now I have taken out the man of soul und spirit, so that this man of soul and spirit has been abstracted from the physical man.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"The Threefold Sun and Human Metamorphosis Across Incarnations","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.

Denn so stecken wir drinnen in diesem ganzen kosmischen Leben, wie ich es Ihnen jetzt in diesen Tagen dargestellt habe. Aber allerdings muß man, um richtige Begriffe von diesen Dingen zu bekommen, tiefer in das eigentliche Gefüge der menschlichen Evolution durch die Erdenzeit hindurch eingehen. Nicht wahr, es wäre ja möglich, daß jemand durch besonderen Glücksfall, wie man das so nennen könnte, hellsichtig das Ganze, was ich jetzt dargestellt habe, schaute. Aber der Glücksfall könnte nicht weiter gehen, als daß er sich verwandelnde Gebilde schaut. Etwa so: Nehmen wir an, ein Mensch würde durch irgendein Wunder - es geschieht schon nicht durch ein Wunder -, durch irgend etwas hellsichtig, übersinnlich schauend, so würde er schon, so ähnlich, wie ich es hier versucht habe aufzuzeichnen, das geistig-seelische Leben des Menschen sehen. Daß dies etwas anders ausschaut, als was ich vor einiger Zeit als Normalaura aufgezeichnet habe, das werden Sie begreiflich finden, wenn Sie verstehen, daß ich vor einigen Tagen das aufgezeichnet habe (siehe Seite 31), was sich als Aura ergibt, wenn man den ganzen Menschen sieht, also den physischen Menschen und die Aura ringsherum; jetzt habe ich aber herausgeholt den geistigseelischen Menschen, so daß der geistig-seelische Mensch von dem physischen Menschen abstrahiert wird.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":227,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/183/1918-08-26/p023"}],"english":["GA 183/1918-08-26/p019"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":227,"en_words":261,"ratio":1.15,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8236,"original_word_count":7984,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"LRZ254","book_title":"Mysteries of the Sun and of the Threefold Man","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA183/English/LRZ254/19180826p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
