We know then, to be sure, that we live in a spiritual world; but, because we are now already approaching the earth life, the impression which the spiritual world makes upon us becomes one of greater uniformity, and is no longer a perception of the particular, individual spiritual Beings.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Pneumatosophy: The Riddles of the Inner Man","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-05-23","location":null,"word_count":156,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/224/1923-05-23/p027","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:length+anchor_constrained","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Frances E.

Wir wissen dann zwar, daß wir in einer geistigen Welt leben, aber indem wir uns jetzt schon dem Erdenleben nähern, wird der Eindruck, den die geistige Welt auf uns macht, mehr ein einheitlicher, nicht mehr der des speziellen, individuellen Wahrnehmens der geistigen Wesenheiten. Ich kann mich durch einen trivialen Vergleich ausdrücken, damit wir uns verständigen können, aber seien Sie sich nur klar darüber, daß ich damit doch etwas sehr Erhabenes meine. Wenn sehr weit entfernt irgendwo eine kleine Wolke ist, so sagen Sie: Das ist eine kleine Wolke. - Wenn Sie aber näher herangehen, werden Sie gewahr: Das sind ja lauter Mücken! - Da unterscheiden Sie die einzelnen Individualitäten. Nun, in der geistigen Welt zwischen Tod und neuer Geburt ist es umgekehrt. Da unterscheiden Sie zunächst die einzelnen Individualitäten der geistigen Wesenheiten, dann wird es ein allgemeiner Eindruck.
