Despite its apparent only exterior expression in human development, this is connected with two important human qualities. Through what can we develop ourselves out of a spiritual-soul element gradually metamorphosing into a physical-bodily form, into uniting with the physical body? This one can grasp through learning to understand the moral quality of love. A principal, important truth is this: the human being goes into the world through love, by pouring itself into the physical bodily nature. How does a person exit? He or she takes their physical bodily nature and metamorphoses back again, change backwards and no other power gives them a greater possibility than freedom. That we can say we develop further and go through death is possible due to freedom. We are born through cosmic love, we go through death's door into the soul-spiritual world through the power of freedom which we have within us. If we develop love in the world then this love is basically a resounding, an echo of our soul spiritual being as we experienced it before our birth, or we can say before our reception. By developing freedom in our existence between birth and death, we develop the soul-spiritual within us as that which prophetically appeared as a power, our most important power, when we would leave the body through death.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":273,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/202/1920-12-11/p017","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1920-12-11","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 202/1920-12-11/p014","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/202/1920-12-11/p014"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":281,"en_words":273,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Dies hängt, trotzdem es sozusagen nur äußerlich den Verlauf der Menschenentwickelung ausdrückt, mit zwei bedeutsamen Eigenschaften des Menschen zusammen. Wodurch können wir uns aus einem Geistig-Seelischen allmählich in ein Physisch-Leibliches metamorphosieren, daß wir das Physisch-Leibliche werden, daß wir eins werden mit dem Physisch-Leiblichen? Dieses kann der Mensch erfassen, wenn er verstehen lernt, was die moralische Qualität der Liebe ist. Und eine wichtige, eine prinzipielle Wahrheit ist diese: Der Mensch geht in die physische Welt durch Liebe herein, durch das Sich-Ausgießen in das Physisch-Leibliche. Und wodurch geht er wieder hinaus? Er nimmt sich aus der physisch-leiblichen Metamorphose wieder zurück, er verwandelt sich zurück, und keine andere Kraft gibt ihm diese Möglichkeit des Zurückverwandelns als die Freiheit. So daß wir sagen: Daß wir uns weiterentwickeln, durch den Tod gehen, geschieht gerade durch die Freiheit. Wir werden geboren durch die kosmische Liebe, wir gehen durch das Tor des Todes in die geistig-seelische Welt ein durch die Kraft der Freiheit, die wir in uns haben. Und entwickeln wir Liebe in der Welt, so ist diese Liebe im Grunde genommen der Nachklang, das Nachtönen unserer geistig-seelischen Wesenheit, wie wir sie gehabt haben vor unserer Geburt, oder sagen wir vor unserer Empfängnis.
