On the peculiar effect of the re-embodiment of personalities. The procedure of reincarnation is not as simple as it is usually described. Various possibilities can occur. Not only the etheric body, but also the astral body of a person can be preserved and incorporated into a later person. It can therefore also be made possible through this trick of the initiates that the etheric body of an earlier important man is incorporated into a later man, whereby the characteristics of the etheric body, memory and so on, are combined with a new ego and a new astral body and often work in this new composition in an apparently quite different way. In this way, the astral body can also be preserved and later incorporated. However, correct reincarnation only occurs when the ego is incarnated again in the new body. These possibilities have given rise to many errors, both among seers who regarded these incomplete incarnations as complete incarnations, and among people who remember their incarnation as the incarnation of the bearers of these bodies as a result of an incorporated etheric or astral body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"15.

Von der eigenartigen Wirkung bei der Wiederverkörperung von Persönlichkeiten. Es ist nicht so einfach bei der Prozedur der Wiederverkörperung, wie es gewöhnlich geschildert wird. Es können da verschiedene Möglichkeiten eintreten. Es kann nämlich nicht bloß der Ätherleib, sondern auch der Astralleib eines Menschen konserviert und einem späteren Menschen einverleibt werden. Es kann daher auch durch diesen Kunstgriff der Eingeweihten möglich gemacht werden, dass der Ätherleib eines früher bedeutenden Mannes einem späteren Manne einverleibt wird, wodurch sich die Eigenschaften des Ätherleibes, Gedächtnis und so weiter, mit einem neuen Ich und einem neuen Astralleib verbinden und in dieser neuen Komposition oft in scheinbar ganz anderer Art wirken. So kann auch der Astralkörper konserviert und später einverleibt werden. Die richtige Reinkarnation ist aber nur dann vorhanden, wenn das Ich wieder in dem neuen Körper inkarniert wird. Durch diese Möglichkeiten sind viele Irrtümer entstanden, sowohl bei Sehern, welche diese unvollständigen Inkarnationen als ganze Inkarnationen betrachteten, als auch bei Menschen, die sich ihrer Inkarnation erinnern, sich infolge eines einverleibten Äther- oder Astralleibes als die Inkarnation der Träger dieser Leiber betrachteten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":176,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/246/1908-12-28/p022"}],"english":["GA 246/1908-12-28/p022"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":176,"en_words":185,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.07,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":1207,"original_word_count":1132,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"Supplements to Member Lectures","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA246/English/SOL2025/19081228s01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
