What happens with it? It suddenly becomes of the nature of the plant. Its life is comparable to what takes place on Earth from the moment when plants sprout in spring until the autumn, when they die down. The plant-nature springs up and puts forth leaf in man, so to say, from falling asleep to awaking. He is then like the Earth in summer; and when the Ego and astral body return and man awakes, he becomes like the Earth in winter. So that we may say that the time between awaking and falling *asleep* is our winter, and that between falling asleep and awaking is our summer. For the year of the Cosmos—in so far as the Earth is part of it—corresponds with man's day. The Earth wakes in winter and sleeps in summer. The summer is the Earth's sleeping time, the winter her waking time. Outer perception obviously gives a false analogy, presenting summer as the Earth's waking time and winter as her time of sleeping. The reverse is the case, for during sleep we resemble the blossoming, sprouting plant-life; like the Earth in summer. When our Ego and astral body re-enter our physical and etheric bodies, it is as though the summer sun withdrew from the plant-laden Earth and the winter sun began to work. Thus the whole year is at different times represented in any one part of the Earth's surface. The case of the Earth is different from that of the individual man, but only apparently so. In respect to the Earth, in whichever part of it we may dwell, a year's course corresponds to the daily course of the individual man. The course of a year in the Cosmos corresponds to a man's day.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture Eleven","site_heading":"The Head's Cosmic Origins: Saturn, Venus, and Dimensional Thinking","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.

Was ist denn das, was da im Bette liegt? Das wird plötzlich zu der Natur des Pflanzenreiches. Das müssen Sie sehen als ähnlich dem, was auf der Erde vorgeht von dem Moment an, wo im Frühling die Pflanzen hervorsprießen bis zum Herbst, wo die Pflanzen wiederum hinuntergehen. Da schießt im Menschen das Pflanzensein ins Kraut, möchte man sagen, vom Einschlafen bis zum Aufwachen. Da wird er so, wie die Erde zur Sommertszeit ist. Und wenn wiederum das Ich und der astralische Leib zurückkehren, wenn der Mensch aufwacht, dann wird er so, wie die Erde zur Winterszeit ist. So daß wir sagen können: der Wachzustand des Menschen, die Zeit vom Aufwachen bis zum Einschlafen ist der persönliche Winter, die Zeit vom Einschlafen bis zum Aufwachen ist der persönliche Sommer. Für den Kosmos, insofern die Erde ja auch zu diesem Kosmos gehört, ist das Jahr das Entsprechende. Die Erde wacht in der Winterszeit, schläft in der Sommerszeit. Die Sommertszeit ist die Schlafzeit der Erde, die Winterszeit ist die Wachzeit der Erde. Äußerlich verglichen gibt es selbstverständlich eine falsche Analogie; da glaubt man, daß die Sommerszeit die Wachzeit der Erde ist und die Winterszeit die Schlafenszeit der Erde ist. Umgekehrt ist es das Richtige; denn wir werden ja während unserer Schlafenszeit dem blühenden, sprossenden Pflanzenleben ähnlich, werden also da so wie die Erde während der Sommerszeit. Und wenn unser Ich und unser astralischer Leib in unsern physischen Leib und in unsern Ätherleib hineingehen, so ist es so, wie wenn für die pflanzentragende Erde die Sommersonne sich zurückzieht und die Wintersonne wirkt. Doch ist eine Jahreszeit jeweilig für irgendeinen Teil der Erdoberfläche. Bei der Erde ist es also anders wie beim einzelnen Menschen, aber auch nur scheinbar, übrigens; bei der Erde, insofern wir sie auf irgendeinem Teile bewohnen, ist es so, daß ein Jahreslauf dem Tageskreislauf des Menschen entspricht. Ein Jahreskreislauf im Kosmos entspricht dem Tageskreislauf des Menschen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":326,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/201/1920-05-02/p007"}],"english":["GA 201/1920-05-02/p007"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":326,"en_words":301,"ratio":0.92,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.95,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4293,"original_word_count":4519,"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/RSP1972/19200502p01.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.
