All these things enable us to gaze deeply into the life of the Cosmos both from the physical aspect and from the aspect of soul and spirit, and only in this way is it possible for us to understand our real nature and being. For without yielding to pride we must acknowledge that in our own human nature we are united with the spiritual fount of the Cosmos and that we can understand our own being and constitution only through a spiritual understanding of the Cosmos.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture IV","site_heading":"Karma Across Incarnations: Garibaldi, Byron, Marx","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Aber all das läßt uns ja einen tiefen Blick in das’ Leben des physisch-seelisch-geistigen Kosmos hineintun, und erst dadurch begreifen wir unser Menschenwesen, wenn wir einen solchen Blick tun. Denn ohne daß wir dabei in irgendeinen Hochmut verfallen, müssen wir uns gestehen, daß wir dem geistigen Urquell des Kosmos mit unserer eigenen Menschennatur verbunden sind und wir unsere eigene menschliche Natur nur verstehen, wenn wir den Kosmos geistig durchdringen. Nun soll seit der Weihnachtstagung ja nicht nur die Anthroposophie verwaltet werden innerhalb der Anthroposophischen Gesellschaft, sondern das Verwalten soll selbst Anthroposophie sein. Und das muß ja auch in der Umgestaltung des anthroposophischen Wirkens zum Ausdruck kommen. Ich habe mich daher nicht gescheut, in diesen Vorträgen vom Exoterischen weg mehr ins Esoterische hinein die Betrachtung strömen zu lassen, und einiges von dem möchte ich heute noch zu diesem Gesagten hinzufügen. Ich möchte hinzufügen etwas, was anschaulich machen kann, wie die menschliche Seele aus der einen Zeitepoche in die andere hinübergetragen wird. Dasjenige, was im Großen und Ganzen geschieht, geschieht ja auch für den Einzelnen, und wenn wir das Karma begreifen von Persönlichkeiten, die uns allen bekannt sind, so können wir auch ein Licht werfen auf unser eigenes Karma. Deshalb lassen Sie uns heute die Betrachtung über Karma noch etwas im Konkreten fortsetzen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":280,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/239/1924-04-05/p004"}],"english":["GA 239/1924-04-05/p003","GA 239/1924-04-05/p004"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":317,"en_words":289,"ratio":0.91,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"evidence":["length","anchors"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5642,"original_word_count":5468,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"D.
