Here, in what the Ego works upon in picture form during sleep, are indications of what we shall be able to carry over—not through any laws of nature but by reason of the spiritual world—from this life on Earth to the next. The causal effects of the moral impulses we have absorbed can be followed up here only when we have disposed ourselves in inward obedience to them. Just as the Ego during sleep works upon the moral impulses, and continues its work between death and a new birth, so these impulses acquire the force that otherwise the laws of nature possess, and in the next human body, which we shall bear in our following life on earth, they clothe themselves in our moral disposition, in our temperament, in the whole trend of our character—all wrongly ascribed to heredity. This has to be worked upon during sleep by the Ego when, freed by the astral body from the world of nature, it enters a purely spiritual world. Thus we see how in sleep a man prepares and grows familiar with his own future.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Wenn es durch die Pforte des Todes getreten ist, werden nämlich die Sittengesetze so sein, wie unsere Naturgesetze hier in der physisch-sinnlichen Welt sind. Hier zwischen dem Einschlafen und Aufwachen bereitet das durch den astralischen Leib befreite Ich schon in Bildern dasjenige vor, was in Geistwirklichkeit durchgemacht werden muß zwischen dem Tode und einem neuen Erdenleben. So daß wir sagen können: Das Ich arbeitet schon, wenn auch keimhaft, wie in einem ganz kleinen Geistkeim dasjenige aus, was es dann zu leisten hat im Geist-Universum nach dem Tode. Und in dem, was das Ich in diesem Schlafzustande schon hier ausarbeitet im Bilde, liegt schon angedeutet dasjenige, was wir durch keine Naturgesetze, sondern nur durch die geistige Welt von diesem Erdenleben in das nächste Erdenleben hinübernehmen können. Die Kausalitat desjenigen, was wir als sittlicher Mensch in uns aufgenommen haben, die sittlichen Impulse können wir hier nur dadurch verfolgen, daß wir uns gewissermaßen mit einem inneren Seelengehorsam unter sie stellen. So wie das Ich sie ausarbeitet im Schlafzustande und dann weiterarbeitet zwischen dem Tode und einer neuen Geburt, so gewinnen diese sittlichen Impulse dieselben Kräfte, die sonst hier Naturgesetze haben, und kleiden sich hinein in den nächsten Menschenleib, den wir im folgenden Erdenleben tragen werden als unsere sittlich-natürliche Verfassung, als unser Temperament, als unsere Charakteranlage, die man nur mit Unrecht einer bloßen Vererbung zuschreibt, die so ausgearbeitet wird, daß das Ich schon daran zu arbeiten hat im Schlafzustande, wenn es durch den astralischen Leib befreit in einer nun nicht natürlichen, sondern in einer rein geistigen Welt zwischen dem Einschlafen und Aufwachen waltet. Und so können wir sehen, wie der Mensch durch den Schlafzustand schon seine Zukunft vorbereitet, wie er sich hineinlebt in seine Zukunft.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":321,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/227/1923-08-22/p039"}],"english":["GA 227/1923-08-22/p032","GA 227/1923-08-22/p033"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":321,"en_words":276,"ratio":0.86,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 227/1923-08-22/p039"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.92,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5015,"original_word_count":5460,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Violet E.
