What is now the limb man becomes entirely transformed in its forces—transmuted in its super-sensible constitution between death and a new birth, and appears in our new Earth-life incorporated out of the Universe into our constitution. On to this is suspended, as it were, the rest of man—formed out of the world of sense. This fact we can find already proved clearly from Embryology, if we would only think rationally about embryonic facts. And thereby we have in our head organisation a system of laws not belonging to this world at all, save only at its origin—that is, in so far as it was present in a previous incarnation. But all that which has caused the transformation of limb man to head man is active in an entirely different world—the world wherein we live, in the interval between death and a new birth. Here, then, another world penetrates the world of the senses. Another world is manifested in the head organism of Man. In a certain sense the external world is brought into correspondence with this other world, in that the head projects the principal sense-organs outwards. The world that is extended in space and that runs its course in time, is perceived by man through his senses; it penetrates into man through his senses, and so it too belongs in a certain sense to the head organism. In relation to our limb man on the other hand, we are in a state of sleep. I have often spoken of this sleep-state of man in relation to his Will nature, in relation to all that exists in the limb man. We do not know *how* we move our limbs, *how* the will causes the movement; we only examine the movement afterwards as an outer phenomenon through our senses. We are asleep in our limb organisation, in the same sense as we are asleep in the Universe between going to sleep and awaking.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture Four","site_heading":"The Breathing Cosmos: Lunar Rhythms and Spiritual Worlds","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.

Diese Verschiedenheit kann sich uns schon dadurch vor die Seele stellen, daß wir darauf Rücksicht nehmen, wie der obere Mensch, der von der Hauptesplastik aus beherrscht wird, zustande kommt durch die Gesetze, möchte ich sagen, einer völlig anderen Welt als unsere Sinneswelt. Dasjenige, was wir hier aus der Sinneswelt haben, aus der Sinneswelt an uns tragen als unseren Gliedmaßenmenschen, das haben wir durch eine Metamorphose, natürlich nicht in bezug auf die äußere Substantialität, aber in bezug auf die Formgestaltung, hindurchzuführen, eine Metamorphose, die ja erst wirkt zwischen dem Tode und einer neuen Geburt. Dasjenige, was hier unser Gliedmaßenmensch ist, es wird völlig umgestaltet in seinen Kräften. In seiner übersinnlichen Konstitution wird es umgestaltet zwischen dem Tode und einer neuen Geburt und erscheint dann aus dem Weltenall unserer Hauptesorganisation eingestaltet in unserem neuen Erdenleben. Daran hängt sich, gewissermaßen aus der Welt der Sinne heraus gebildet, der übrige Mensch. Das ist etwas, was heute klar und deutlich schon aus der Embryologie nachgewiesen werden könnte, wenn man nur vernünftig die embryologischen Tatsachen zusammendächte. Dadurch aber ist in alledem, was zusammenhängt mit unserer Hauptesorganisation, etwas von einer Gesetzmäßigkeit drinnen, die ganz und gar nicht dieser Welt eigentlich angehört, die nur in ihrem Beginne, nämlich insoweit sie in der früheren Inkarnation schon da war, dieser Welt angehört. Aber alles das, was umgestaltet hat unseren Gliedmaßenmenschen zu dem Hauptesmenschen, wirkt ja in einer völlig anderen Welt, in der Welt, in der wir uns befinden zwischen dem Tode und einer neuen Geburt. Da ragt also eine andere Welt in diese Welt herein. Wenn wir den Menschenkopf, das Menschenhaupt ansehen, so ist in ihm verkörpert eine andere Welt. Dieser anderen Welt entspricht aber in einer gewissen Weise dadurch, daß das Haupt die hauptsächlichsten Sinne öffnet nach außen, die Welt, die da draußen im Raume ausgebreitet ist und die in der Zeit verfließt. Denn sie nehmen wir durch unsere Wahrnehmungen auf; sie dringt durch unsere Sinne in uns ein; sie gehört also gewissermaßen doch zu unserer Hauptesorganisation. Dagegen verhalten wir uns zu unserem Gliedmaßenmenschen eigentlich schlafend. Ich habe ja öfter von dieser schlafenden Beziehung des Menschen zu seiner Willensnatur, also zu alledem, was in dem Gliedmaßenmenschen lebt, gesprochen. Wir wissen nicht, wie wir unsere Glieder bewegen, wie der Wille hineinschießt in die Bewegungen, die wir ja nur nachher, geradeso wie ein äußeres Ding, durch Wahrnehmungen für uns erkunden. Wir schlafen in unserem Gliedmaßenmenschen, wir schlafen so in ihm, wie wir im Weltenall schlafen vom Einschlafen bis zum Aufwachen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":435,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/201/1920-04-16/p005"}],"english":["GA 201/1920-04-16/p005","GA 201/1920-04-16/p006"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":435,"en_words":448,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5456,"original_word_count":5443,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"George and Mary Adams","identified_edition":"RSP1972","book_title":"Man: Hieroglyph of the Universe","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA201/English/RSP1972/19200416p01.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.
