We find that here, too, both luciferic and ahrimanic influences are called upon. In life here on earth the being of man expresses itself in the first instance in the alternating states of waking and sleeping. In the waking state the spiritual part of our being is fully given over to the material world. The following must be said in this connection: In sleep, from the moment of going to sleep to the moment of waking up, we find ourselves in a spirit-soul existence. On going to sleep we depart with our spirit-soul existence from our physical and etheric bodies, and on waking up we enter with our spirit and soul once again into our physical and etheric bodies. In sleep, you could say, we bear our state of soul-spirit within us; but on waking up we keep back our soul state almost entirely in the form of our soul life. Only with our spirit do we plunge fully into our body. So in the waking state in the present phase of human evolution we become with our spirit entirely body, we plunge into our body, at least to a very high degree. From the existence of our sleeping state we fall into that of our waking state. We are carried over from one state to the other. This is brought about by forces which we have to count among the ahrimanic forces.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture I","site_heading":"Luciferic and Ahrimanic Polarities in Human Nature","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.

Es äußert sich hier für das Erdendasein zunächst das menschliche Wesen in geistiger Beziehung durch die Wechselzustände zwischen Wachen und Schlafen. Im Wachzustande sind wir mit unserem geistigen Teil ganz dem Materiellen hingegeben. Man muß in dieser Beziehung folgendes sagen: Wenn der Mensch einschläft, so ist er vom Einschlafen bis zum Aufwachen in einem Zustande, den man als geistig-seelisches Dasein bezeichnen kann. Der Mensch geht mit seinem geistig-seelischen Dasein beim Einschlafen aus dem physischen und ätherischen Leibe heraus und taucht wiederum unter in den physischen und ätherischen Leib mit seinem Geistig-Seelischen beim Aufwachen. So trägt der Mensch gewissermaßen im Schlafzustande seinen geistig-seelischen Zustand in sich; aber den seelischen Zustand, den behält er beim Aufwachen fast ganz als seelisches Leben zurück. Nur mit dem Geiste taucht er vollständig auch in den Leib unter. So daß wir im Wachen mit unserem Geiste in der Periode der heutigen Menschheitsentwickelung eben ganz Leib werden, in das Leibliche untertauchen, wenigstens bis zu einem hohen Grade. Da verfallen wir dann aus einem Dasein, wie wir es eben im Schlafe haben, in das Dasein des wachen Zustandes. Wir werden herübergetragen aus dem einen Zustand in den andern. Und diesen Übergang den bewirken Kräfte, die wir zu den ahrimanischen zu zählen haben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":228,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/210/1922-01-01/p023"}],"english":["GA 210/1922-01-01/p022"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":228,"en_words":245,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 210/1922-01-01/p023"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5071,"original_word_count":4827,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Johanna Collis","identified_edition":"RSP1991","book_title":"Old and New Methods of Initiation","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA210/English/RSP1991/19220101p01.html","evidence":"lecture_list_row","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
