I simply could not take any interest in the matter and had to ignore it, for the simple reason that interest in the dead is so much stronger and eliminates everything else. By this I merely want to indicate that the experiences of a man after death while living through his life in backward order are much more intense than they were during his earthly existence. Earthly life is almost like a dream as compared with this other experience. It is an experience in negative, an experience of the consequences in the other person of what we have done and left undone. Hence it should not be described as altogether terrible. But at any rate a man must come to realise which of his deeds, his thoughts, his feelings, were just and which were not.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VI","site_heading":"Cosmic Karma: Planetary Spheres and Human Destiny","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.

Ich konnte kein Interesse dafür gewinnen. Ich mußte vorbeigehen, mußte alles überhören aus dem einfachen Grunde, weil das Interesse an dem Toten ein viel vehementeres ist, alles andere auslöscht. Ich will nur darauf hinweisen, wie der Mensch in diesem Rücklauf des Lebens viel stärker, viel intensiver erlebt, als er auf der Erde erlebt. Es ist das Erdenleben fast wie ein Traum gegenüber diesem Erleben. Aber es ist eben das negative Erleben, das Erleben der Folgen in dem anderen von dem, was wir getan und unterlassen haben. Daher darf es auch nicht als ein bloß schauderhaftes Leben dargestellt werden.
