The will at first develops the longing to become man in the spiritual element where we live between death and a new birth. It is this longing that predominantly fills the will. Out there between death and a new birth the will has experienced a spiritual image of the human being; now there arises in it the most vivid longing again to become world. The will spreads out, as it were; it becomes world, it becomes cosmos. By reason of this spreading out it extends even to the vicinity of the stream of nature that is formed through the line of heredity in the succession of generations. What works as will in the spiritual-physical cosmos and begins in the Midnight Hour of Existence to have the longing again to become world already lives in the flow of generations. When we then embody ourselves in the other stream that has the longing to become man, the will has preceded us in becoming world. It lives already in the propagation of the generations into which we then descend. In what we receive from our ancestors the will already lives, the will that wished to become world after the Midnight Hour of Existence. Through what in our thoughts has desired since the Midnight Hour of Existence to become man, we Meet with this will-desiring-to-become-world, which then incorporates itself into what we receive from our ancestors.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture IV","site_heading":"Human Consciousness Between Natural and Spiritual Necessities","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.

Der Wille entwickelt ja zunächst die Sehnsucht, Mensch zu werden in dem geistigen Elemente, das wir durchleben zwischen dem Tod und einer neuen Geburt. Diese Sehnsucht ist es, die den Willen am meisten erfüllt. Es hat da draußen zwischen dem Tode und einer neuen Geburt gewissermaßen ein geistiges Abbild des Menschen erlebt; darinnen entsteht jetzt die lebhafteste Sehnsucht, wieder Welt zu werden. Gewissermaßen breitet sich der Wille aus; er wird Welt, er wird kosmisch. Dadurch, daß er sich ausbreitet, gelangt er auch eben in die Nähe derjenigen Naturströmung, die dann durch die Vererbungslinie gebildet wird im Fortgang der Generationen. So daß das, was als Wille wirkt im geistig-physischen Kosmos, was als Wille beginnt, um die Mitternachtsstunde des Daseins die Sehnsucht zu haben, Welt zu werden, daß das eigentlich schon in der Generationenfolge lebt. Wenn wir dann in der anderen Strömung, die die Sehnsucht hat, Mensch zu werden, uns einkörpern, ist uns vorangegangen der Wille im Weltwerden. Er lebt schon in der Fortpflanzung der Generation, in die wir dann untertauchen. In dem, was wir von den Vorfahren bekommen, lebt schon der Wille, der da Welt werden wollte von der Mitternachtsstunde des Daseins an, und mit diesem Welt-werden-Wollenden Willen kommen wir zusammen, indem das, was seit der Mitternachtsstunde des Daseins in den Gedanken von uns Mensch werden will, sich dann in das eingliedert.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":241,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/207/1921-10-01/p027"}],"english":["GA 207/1921-10-01/p030"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":241,"en_words":252,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 207/1921-10-01/p027"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5670,"original_word_count":5533,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Michael Klein and Alice Wulsin","identified_edition":"AP1985","book_title":"Cosmosophy Vol.  I","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA207/English/AP1985/19211001p01.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.
