When a man dies in our time—a man who was really able, during his earthly life, to permeate his soul with true Intelligence—having gone through the gate of death, he looks back upon his past earthly life and sees it as an independent life on earth. In former centuries, man having passed through the gate of death, and looking back upon his earthly life, saw how the etheric body became dissolved in the cosmos. Then he passed through the realm of souls, living through the events again in backward order. Then he could say to himself: ‘Thus Michael, through the Sun, administers what was mine before.’ This is the great difference. But we can only understand such developments in evolution when we look behind the scenes of existence, perceiving the Spiritual behind the Material. We must see the outer events in mankind even as they are shaped and formed out of the spiritual world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XI.

Stirbt heute ein Mensch, der wirklich die Möglichkeit hatte, während des Erdenlebens seine Seele zu durchdringen mit Intelligenz, mit wahrhaftiger Intelligenz, dann geht er durch die Pforte des Todes, und er schaut zurück auf sein Erdenleben, das da war als ein selbständiges Erdenleben. In früheren Jahrhunderten schaute der Mensch, nachdem er durch die Pforte des Todes gegangen war, auf sein Erdenleben zurück, wie da der Ätherleib im Kosmos sich auflöst, wie er durchgeht dann durch das Seelengebiet, wie er durchlebt die Ereignisse in rückwärtsgehender Form. Dann konnte er sich sagen: So verwaltet Michael durch die Sonne dasjenige, was mein war. — Das ist eben der große Unterschied. Man kann aber solch eine Entwickelung nur beurteilen, wenn man hinter die Kulissen des Daseins schaut und auf das Spirituelle hinter dem Materiellen schaut. Darauf kommt es an, daß man die äußeren Ereignisse in der Menschheit so sieht, wie sie aus der spirituellen Welt heraus gestaltet werden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":164,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/237/1924-08-08/p010"}],"english":["GA 237/1924-08-08/p007"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":164,"en_words":165,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.16,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6477,"original_word_count":5591,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"George Adams.
