Everything in the world outside is recreated in man. Center Just imagine if you were given this “mess”, this destroyed matter, and you were supposed to recreate it inside! You would not be able to do that. You see, when the ego is alone after death, it has to learn from the whole world how to recreate the whole world. So that after the person has shed the sympathy with the body during this third of the previous life, he now begins to learn from the whole universe how to become a human being again. And that takes longer than life on earth lasts, because on earth, things are such that one can learn a lot or a little. Actually, most people today learn very little. And however strange it may seem, scholars learn the least of all, because what they learn is all useless. It is only good for understanding what a corpse looks like, but not how a living body is affected. But the ego must learn this after death. It must learn the secrets of how a body is built from the whole world. And one can point to this time, which the ego now spends learning from the whole world how a person works and lives internally.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Alles, was in der Welt draußen ist, ist im Menschen drinnen nachgebildet. Mitte Denken Sie einmal, wenn Ihnen nun dieser «Knatsch», diese zerstörte Materie gegeben würde, und Sie sollten da drinnen das nachbilden! Das würden Sie nicht können. Sehen Sie, wenn das Ich allein ist nach dem Tode, da muß es aus der ganzen Welt lernen, wie es die ganze Welt nachbilden kann. So daß der Mensch, nachdem er die Sympathie mit dem Körper abgestoßen hat während dieses Drittels des vorigen Lebens, nun anfängt, aus dem ganzen Weltenall zu lernen, wie man wiederum ein Mensch wird. Und das dauert länger, als auf Erden das Leben dauert, denn auf Erden, da geht es so zu, nun ja, daß man ja viel oder wenig lernen kann. Eigentlich lernen heute die meisten sehr wenig. Und so sonderbar es ist, die Gelehrten lernen am allerwenigsten, denn was sie lernen, das taugt alles nichts. Das taugt nur dazu, zu verstehen, wie ein Leichnam ausschaut, aber nicht, wie ein lebendiger Körper in sich bewirkt wird. Das aber muß das Ich nach dem Tode lernen. Es muß aus der ganzen Welt heraus die Geheimnisse lernen, wie ein Körper aufgebaut wird. Und da kann man hindeuten auf diese Zeit, die nun das Ich zubringt damit, aus der ganzen Welt heraus zu lernen, wie ein Mensch innerlich wirkt und lebt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":249,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/349/1923-03-21/p039"}],"english":["GA 349/1923-03-21/p039"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":249,"en_words":236,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6194,"original_word_count":6240,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Life of Man on Earth and the Essence of Christianity","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA349/English/SOL2024/19230321p02.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.
