Those with spiritual insight have always regarded this age as extremely important. They have recognized that, while up to the twenty-first year a person evolves, the talents and abilities contained as predispositions in his three bodies—and up to the twenty-eighth year what the world offers him—now at the age of thirty-five he begins to work on his three bodies. First of all a person strengthens the astral body. Up till now the world has taught him, but now his judgment begins to carry weight with his fellowmen. It would be well if his opinions have not been so far too definite, too conclusive; they should not become consolidated until about the age of thirty-five. From now on the astral body becomes ever denser; if up till now the person has been a learner, he or she can now become an adviser. A person's judgments have significance and are taken into account when problems are in the balance. The apprentice has become counselor.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"X.

Denn während bis zum einundzwanzigsten Jahre der Mensch aus seinen drei Leibern herausgeholt hat, was in ihm veranlagt ist, und bis zum achtundzwanzigsten Jahre aus der Umgebung herausgeholt hat, was sie ihm frei bieten konnte, beginnt er jetzt frei an seinen Leibern zu arbeiten, zuerst seinen astralen Teil zu festigen. Vorher hat er zu lernen gehabt aus der Umgebung und von der Umgebung; jetzt wird sein Urteil so, daß es eine gewisse Tragkraft bekommt für die Umgebung, und der Mensch tut wohl, wenn er vorher mit seinem Urteil über die Welt nicht zu stark abschließt. Erst gegen das fünfunddreißigste Jahr zu sollten wir unser Urteil verfestigen. Dann wird der Astralleib immer dichter und dichter. Haben wir bis dahin geübt, so dürfen wir jetzt ausübend werden. Jetzt fängt unser Urteil an, für die Umgebung etwas zu bedeuten. Jetzt, wo es heißt, mittun für die Welt, beginnt der Mensch sein Urteil in die Waagschale zu legen.
