And the laws of the life and death of Man are something that we are compelled to follow. We have already found how nutation points to another world; as our sense-perception world points to one world, so nutation points to another, the breathing world. And now through what present-day astronomy calls ‘precession’, we have something we may again call a transition, a transition this time to a state of deep sleep, a transition to still another, a third world. We have thus three worlds, interpenetrating one another, inter-related; but we must not attempt simply to combine these worlds from the point of view of causality. Three worlds, a three-fold world, as Man is a three-fold being; one, the world of sense surrounding us, the world we perceive; a second world whose presence is indicated by the motions of the Moon; and a third which makes itself known to us by the motion of the equinoctial point, or we might say, by the path of the Sun. This third world indeed remains about as unknown to us as the world of our own Will is unknown to our ordinary consciousness.","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.

In diesem Herumgehen des Frühlingspunktes zeigt sich uns wiederum etwas an, was zu tun hat mit Leben und Sterben des Menschen im Weltenall draußen, also Leben und Sterben des Makrokosmos. Das Gesetz des Lebens und Sterbens des Menschen ist etwas, was wir ja verfolgen müssen. Auch dasjenige, was Nutation ist, weist uns ja auf eine andere Welt hin, so wie uns unsere Wahrnehmungswelt auf die Atmungswelt hinweist. Was Sie in der gegenwärtigen Astronomie als Präzession finden, das Vorrücken der Tag- und Nachtgleichen also, in dem finden Sie wiederum etwas wie den Übergang zum vollständigen Schlafen, den Übergang zu einer dritten Welt, die ich nun wiederum als eine andere, hereinragend in diese (Tafel 7, Zeichnung rechts, Mitte, 2. horizontale Schraffur, tot) zeichnen müßte. Drei Welten, die sich gegenseitig durchdringen, gegenseitig auch aufeinander beziehen, die man aber nicht einfach unter dem Gesichtspunkte der Kausalität zusammenfassen darf - drei Welten, das heißt eine dreigliedrige Welt, wie einen dreigliedrigen Menschen. Eine erste Welt, die Welt, die uns umgibt, die wir wahrnehmen; eine zweite Welt, die sich herein ankündigt durch die Bewegungen des Mondes; eine dritte Welt, die sich herein ankündigt durch die Bewegungen des Aufgangspunktes der Sonne, also in gewissem Sinne, müssen wir sagen: dutch den Weg des Sonnenweges. Da sehen wir auf eine dritte Welt hin, die allerdings so unbekannt bleibt, wie die Welt unseres Willens dem gewöhnlichen Bewußtsein unbekannt bleibt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":265,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/201/1920-04-16/p025"}],"english":["GA 201/1920-04-16/p031"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":265,"en_words":256,"ratio":0.97,"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.
