After death a man takes with him something that belongs not to his innermost soul but, in a certain sense, to his physical body. Spiritual Science shows that within a relatively short time—a few days only—after the discarding of the physical body, the human being becomes free of the etheric body and is then constituted in the main as he is during sleep. But Spiritual Science goes on to show how the inner soul-being is then in a situation different from its situation during life, when every morning a man has to return to his physical body and etheric body. He is closely bound to his physical body, to everything that enfolds him, and this does not specially belong to what we recognise as the real content of his life of soul.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Nature of Eternity","site_heading":null,"date":"1912-03-21","location":null,"word_count":160,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/61/1912-03-21/p019","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"eLib2016","book_title":"Human History in the Light of Spiritual Investigation","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA061/English/eLib2016/19120321p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.

Der Mensch nimmt nach dem Tode etwas mit, was nicht zu dem Innersten der Seele gehört, sondern was zu dem physischen Leibe gleichsam hinzugehört. Daher wird es auch, so zeigt die Geisteswissenschaft, nach einer verhältnismäßig kurzen Zeit, die nur nach Tagen zählt, dem physischen Leibe nachgeschickt. Der Mensch legt seinen Ätherleib ab und hat dann im wesentlichen nur das an sich, was er auch im Schlafe hat. Aber jetzt ist dieses andere, das innere Seelische — so zeigt die Geisteswissenschaft - in einem anderen Falle, als es im ganzen Leben ist. In welchem Falle ist der Mensch, wenn er durch das Wechselspiel von Wachen, Schlafen, Wachen, Schlafen und so weiter durchgeht? Er ist in die Lage versetzt, daß er an jedem Morgen wieder zu seinem physischen Leib und Ätherleib zurückkehren muß. Er ist an seinen physischen Leib, an seine Außenhülle gebunden, an alles, was ihn umkleidet, was nicht im besonderen zu dem gehört, das wir den eigentlichen Inhalt des Seelenlebens nennen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":195,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/61/1912-03-21/p017"}],"english":["GA 61/1912-03-21/p019"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":195,"en_words":160,"ratio":0.82,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 61/1912-03-21/p017"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.9,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8000,"original_word_count":8902,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"eLib2016","book_title":"Human History in the Light of Spiritual Investigation","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA061/English/eLib2016/19120321p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
