Exactly as the human being inhales the air and exhales it, so that at one time it is within him and at another time outside of him, so the earth breathes in her soul—that is during the winter; and at the height of summer, St. John's season, the earth-soul is entirely breathed out, sent out into the far reaches of the cosmos. At that time the earth-body is, as it were, “empty” of the earth-soul. The earth in her soul lives with the events of the cosmos, the course of the stars, and so on. Therefore, in ancient times there were the *winter-mysteries*, in which man experienced the union of the earth-soul with the earth; and then there were the *summer-mysteries*, in which man was able to perceive the mysteries of the universe, from the experience which the earth-soul shared with the stars, for it was granted to the human souls of initiates to follow the earth-soul out into the cosmic spaces.","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":175,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/224/1923-05-23/p037","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:length+anchor_constrained","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Frances E.
