Just as, when we judge externally, we call winter the sleeping time of the Earth, and summer her waking time, whereas it is the reverse; in the same way, judging externally, Saturn and Jupiter might be regarded as more spiritual than Venus and Mercury. This is not the case; for Venus and Mercury stand in more intimate relation to something behind the whole Cosmos than do Jupiter and Saturn. Thus we may say that in Venus and Mercury we have something which places us outwardly, as a member of the planetary system, in relation to a super-sensible world. Here, while we live, we are brought into connection with a super-sensible world through Venus and Mercury. We might say: When we are incorporated by birth into the physical world, we are carried into it by Saturn and Jupiter; while we live from birth to death, Venus and Mercury work within us and prepare us to carry our super-sensible part back again through death into the super-sensible world. In fact, Mercury and Venus have just as much share in our immortality after death as Jupiter and Saturn have in our life *before* death. It is really so, we have to see something in the Cosmos which corresponds to the relation between the comparatively more spiritual organisation of the head and the rest of the human organisation.","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.

Geradeso wie der Mensch, wenn er äußerlich urteilt, die Winterszeit die Schlafenszeit der Erde nennt, und die Sommerszeit die Wachenszeit, während es umgekehrt ist, so könnte man äußerlich urteilend auch versucht sein, Saturn und Jupiter als geistiger zu denken denn Venus und Merkur. Aber so ist es nicht, sondern gerade Venus und Merkur stehen in intimerer Beziehung zu etwas, was hinter dem ganzen Kosmos ist, als Jupiter und Saturn. So daß wir sagen können: In Venus und Merkur haben wir etwas gegeben, was uns äußerlich, insofern wir ein Glied unseres Planetensystems sind, in Beziehung setzt zu einer übersinnlichen Welt. Indem wir hier leben, werden wir durch Merkur und Venus zu einer übersinnlichen Welt in Beziehung gesetzt. Man könnte sagen: Indem wir uns durch die Geburt in der physischen Welt verkörpern, werden wir durch Saturn und Jupiter in diese physische Welt hereingetragen; indem wir von der Geburt bis zum Tode hin leben, wirken Venus und Merkur in uns und bereiten uns vor, durch den Tod wiederum unser Übersinnliches in die übersinnliche Welt hinauszutragen. In der Tat haben Merkur und Venus ebensoviel Anteil an unserer Unsterblichkeit nach dem Tode, wie Jupiter und Saturn Anteil haben an unserer Unsterblichkeit vor dem Tode.
