Inasmuch as the physical organism is no longer an obstacle to the soul's unfolding into the cosmic element and ceases to hold the soul back in its own sphere, the possibility of cosmic consciousness arises at once for the human soul. The human soul is now clothed in the etheric organism that is no longer bound to a physical body. While this etheric organism represents the course of man's life on the one hand, it is at the same time the vehicle for the continuous in-streaming of cosmic forces of life. As the soul gradually passes through death along with the ether body, it experiences the cosmic world-ether in the etheric organism. The activities that take place in this world-ether now stream into the etheric organism, for only the physical body had prevented this earlier. Now this obstacle is gone. In its inner activities, the etheric organism is not as separated from the outer cosmic events and realities as is the physical organism. The occurrences outside in the cosmic world-ether stream actively into man's etheric organism, and what occurs in the human etheric organism pulsates out into the world-ether. After death, man not only lives directly in his own etheric organism, but, inasmuch as he has liberated it from the physical organization he finds his way into the cosmic-etheric element, which continually streams in and out of him.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"9.

Indem der physische Organismus für die Entfaltung der Menschenseele in das Kosmische hinaus nicht mehr ein Hindernis bietet, insofern er die Menschenseele nicht mehr zurückzieht in seine Sphäre, tritt für die Menschenseele sogleich die Möglichkeit eines kosmischen Bewußtseins auf. Diese Menschenseele hat jetzt den ätherischen Organismus an sich, ohne diesen ätherischen Organismus an einen physischen Organismus gebunden zu haben. Aber dieser ätherische Organismus ist ja, indem er auf der einen Seite den menschlichen Lebenslauf darstellt, zugleich das fortwährende Hereinspielen kosmischer Kräfte, der Kräfte des kosmischen Lebens. Indem die Menschenseele sich allmählich mit dem Ätherleibe durch den Tod durchlebt, erlebt sie in dem Ätherleibe den kosmischen Weltenäther mit. Was im kosmischen Weltenäther sich abspielt, das strömt jetzt in den ätherischen Organismus herein, denn die Abhaltung dieses Hereinströmens geschah ja bisher nur durch den physischen Organismus. Diese Abhaltung ist jetzt weg. Der ätherische Organismus ist in seinem Geschehen nicht so getrennt von den äußeren kosmischen Ereignissen und Tatsachen wie der physische. Was draußen im kosmischen Weltenäther vor sich geht, das strömt wirkend herein in den menschlichen ätherischen Organismus, und was im menschlichen ätherischen Organismus vor sich geht, das pulst hinaus in.die Welt durch die ätherische Organisation. Der Mensch lebt sich nach dem Tode unmittelbar ein nicht nur in seinen ätherischen Organismus, sondern, indem er seinen ätherischen Organismus befreit hat von der physischen Organisation, lebt er sich in dasjenige ein, was da fortwährend ein- und ausströmt; er lebt sich in das Kosmisch-Ätherische hinein.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":271,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/215/1922-09-14/p020"}],"english":["GA 215/1922-09-14/p021"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":271,"en_words":257,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 215/1922-09-14/p020"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5802,"original_word_count":5623,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Lisa D.
