He who can faithfully observe what is contained within his own self will find the following. These things must gradually be brought to the attention of humanity. There are many among you, who have already passed the 18 years and about 7 months period in age. That was an important period. Others will have passed twice that number of years—37 years and 2 months—again an important time. After that we have a third very momentous period 18 years and seven months later, at the age of 55 years and 9 months. Few can notice as yet, not having been trained to do so, the effects and important changes taking place within the individual soul at these times. The nights passed during these periods are the most important nights in the life of the individual. It is here where the Macrocosm completes its 18 respirations, completes one minute—and Man as it were, opens a window facing quite another world. But as I said, man cannot yet watch for these points in his life. Everyone, however, could try to let his mental eye look back over the years he has passed, and if he is over 55 years old to recognise three such important epochs; others two, and most of you at any rate one! In these epochs events take place, which rush up into this world of ours out of quite a different one. Our world opens at these moments to another world.","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.

Derjenige, welcher faktisch beobachten kann dasjenige, was im eigenen Selbst enthalten ist, der kommt auf das Folgende. Sehen Sie, meine lieben Freunde - auf solche Dinge muß die Menschheit allmählich aufmerksam werden -, ich glaube, viele sind unter Ihnen, die schon den Zeitpunkt von 18 Jahren und ungefähr 7 Monaten überschritten haben. Das war ein wichtiger Zeitpunkt. Mehrere sind wohl auch unter Ihnen, die 37 Jahre 2 Monate überschritten haben. Das war wiederum ein wichtiger Zeitpunkt. Und dann kommt wieder ein sehr wichtiger Zeitpunkt: 55 Jahre 9 Monate. Es kann in der Gegenwart noch nicht der einzelne Mensch, weil er ja nicht in der Weise erzogen wird, wie es sein sollte, diese Zeitpunkte ordentlich abpassen. Würde er sie ordentlich abpassen, dann würde er wahrnehmen, daß in der Tat in diesen Zeitpunkten Wichtigstes mit der Seele vor sich geht. Die Nächte, die der Mensch zu diesen Zeitpunkten durchlebt, sie sind die wichtigsten Nächte des menschlichen Lebens. Da ist es, wo der Makrokosmos seine 18 Atemzüge vollendet, eine Minute vollendet, und da ist es, wo der Mensch gewissermaßen ein Fenster geöffnet hat gegenüber einer ganz anderen Welt. Nun, ich sagte, der Mensch kann es heute nicht abpassen. Aber es könnte jeder versuchen, auf solche Zeitpunkte im menschlichen Leben zurückzublicken. Wer über 55 Jahre alt geworden ist, kann auf volle drei solche wichtige Abschnitte zurückblicken, manche auf zwei, die meisten unter Ihnen wohl auf einen. In solchen Etappen gehen die Dinge vor sich, die aus einer ganz anderen Welt hereinfließen in diese unsere Welt. Da öffnet sich unsere Welt einer anderen Welt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":283,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/201/1920-04-16/p019"}],"english":["GA 201/1920-04-16/p024"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":283,"en_words":268,"ratio":0.95,"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.
