I might describe it as the process whereby man orientates himself within the sphere of his physical existence on Earth. When I move my arm or my hand, that too is related to the mechanism of walking, and when a tiny child begins to raise itself upright, that is an act of orientation. All this is connected with what we call the Earth's force of gravity, with the fact that everything physical on the Earth has *weight*. But we cannot say of the spirit-seed that is built up between death and a new birth that it has weight or heaviness.—Walking, then, is connected with the force of gravity. It is, in fact, an overcoming of gravity, an act through which we place ourselves into the field of gravity. That is what happens every time we lift a leg to take a step forward. But we do not acquire this faculty until we are already here on Earth; it is not present between death and a new birth although there is something that corresponds to it in that world. There too we have orientation but it is not orientation within the field of gravity, for in the spiritual world there is no force of gravity, no weight. Orientation in that world is of a purely spiritual character. Here on the Earth we lift our legs to walk, we place ourselves in the field of gravity. The corresponding process in the spiritual world is that of becoming related to some Being of the Higher Hierarchies, belonging, let us say, to the rank of Angel or Archangel. A man feels himself inwardly near in soul to the influence of a Being, say, of the Hierarchy of the Angels, or of the Exusiai, with whom he is then working. This is how he finds his orientation in the life between death and a new birth. Just as here on the Earth we have to deal with our weight, in yonder world we have to deal with what proceeds from the several Beings of the higher Hierarchies by way of forces of sympathy with our own human individuality.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":364,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/219/1922-11-26/p014","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1922-11-26","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 219/1922-11-26/p019","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/219/1922-11-26/p019"},{"locus":"GA 219/1922-11-26/p020","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/219/1922-11-26/p020"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 219/1922-11-26/p019","GA 219/1922-11-26/p020"],"length_check":{"de_words":345,"en_words":364,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Auch dort haben wir eine Orientierung, nur ist es nicht die in der Schwerkraft, denn in der geistigen Welt gibt es keine Schwerkraft, gibt es kein Gewicht. Dort ist die Orientierung lediglich eine geistige, und zwar so, daß dem, was hier auf der Erde entspricht dem Aufheben eines Beines, dem Sich-Hineinstellen in die Schwerkraft, daß dem in der geistigen Welt entspricht das Verwandtwerden, sagen wir mit einem Wesen der höheren Hierarchien, das der Form der Angeloi oder Archangeloi angehört. Fühle ich mich innerlich seelisch nahe unter dem Einflusse eines Wesens aus der Hierarchie der Angeloi, oder sagen wir der Exusiai, mit denen der Mensch zusammenarbeitet, so orientiert sich der Mensch zwischen dem Tode und einer neuen Geburt. Wie wir es hier auf-der Erde mit unserem Gewicht zu tun haben, haben wir es dort zu tun mit dem, was an Sympathiekräften mit unserem eigenen menschlichen Wesen von den einzelnen Wesen der höheren Hierarchien ausgeht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":227,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/219/1922-11-26/p020"}],"beads":[{"from":[14],"to":[19,20],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
