But take the pinnacle reached by architecture when it created protective covers for the dead. As noted earlier, the monuments erected above graves at the starting point of architecture had great meaning. Primeval instinctive clairvoyance perceived that, after forsaking its physical body, its earthly prison, the naked soul shrinks from being released into cosmic space without first being enveloped by those forms by which it wants to be received. People held that the soul must not simply be turned loose into the chaotically interacting weather currents; they would tear it apart. The soul desires to expand into the universe through regular spatial forms. For this reason it must be surrounded by tomb-architecture. It cannot find its bearings in the storms of weather and wind which rush toward it; only in the artistic forms of the monument above the grave. Here paths into the cosmic reaches are formed. An enveloping sheath such as man, unlike plants and animals, never receives through sensory-natural elements, is given the soul out of the super-sensible.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VII","site_heading":"Art, Science, and Religion: The Living Unity","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 nehmen Sie jenen Ausgangspunkt der Architektur, wo die Architektur vor allen Dingen ihre Höhe dadurch erreicht hat, daß sie Umhüllungen für hingegangene Menschen, für die Toten gebildet hat. Sehen wir einmal, wie die Grabmäler, die Grabwohnhäuser, die errichtet wurden über den Grabstätten, am Ausgangspunkt der Architektur sinnvoll stehen. Indem der Mensch gewissermaßen seinen Erdenkerker, seinen physischen Leib verlassen hat und die nackte Seele ist, will für ein ursprüngliches instinktives Hellsehen diese nackte Seele nicht hinausgelassen werden in den Weltenraum, ohne daß sie eingehüllt wird von denjenigen Formen, von denen sie aufgenommen sein will. Man . kann doch - so sagte man - die Seele nicht hinauslassen einfach in die chaotischen Luftströmungen, in die chaotisch ineinander wirkenden Wetterströmungen. Das würde die Seele zerreißen. Die Seele will, wenn sie den Körper verlassen hat, durch regelmäßige Raumesformen sich in die Welt ausdehnen. Man umkleidet sie mit der Grabesarchitektur, denn da weiß sie Bescheid. Sie weiß nicht Bescheid in den Wetterstürmen, die ihr entgegendringen, in den Windströmungen, die ihr entgegenkommen, sie weiß aber Bescheid in den künstlerischen Formen, in denen der Architekt das Grabhaus über der Totenstätte formt. Da bilden sich die Wege für die Seele hinaus in die Weltenweiten. Das ist die aus dem Übersinnlichen der Seele gegebene Schale, gegebene Umhüllung, während der Mensch nicht so wie die Tiere oder wie die Pflanzen durch die sinnlich natürlichen Elemente eine Schale, eine Hülle bekommt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":246,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/276/1923-05-18/p014"}],"english":["GA 276/1923-05-18/p014"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":246,"en_words":179,"ratio":0.73,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 276/1923-05-18/p014"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.77,"band":"watch","note":"This witness is somewhat shorter than the original.
