The way how selfishness can be transformed into becoming a benefactor appears in its meaning for the physical-sense world, since this is the large training ground, where the one must come out from the other, so that it may be something of value for the larger circles of existence. And the world between death and rebirth appears to us as that in which the soul must live with more power, and for which the soul would immediately be useless, it were to enter into this world weak and not empowered in this way.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"7.

Da versetzen wir uns in jene Welt, die eben der Geistesforscher durch seine Seelenentwickelung erreicht. Da hinein müssen wir daher diejenigen Eigenschaften bringen, welche die Seele innerlich stark erscheinen lassen, welche innerhalb der Seele den Satz bewahrheiten: «Wenn die Rose selbst sich schmückt,schmückt sie auch den Garten». In dem Augenblick, wo wir durch die Pforte des Todes gehen, treten wir in eine Welt ein, in welcher es auf höchste Erhöhung und Erkraftung unseres Ich ankommt. Was wir in dieser Welt zu tun haben, werden wir in dem Vortrage «Zwischen Tod und Wiedergeburt des Menschen» hören. Jetzt soll nur darauf hingedeutet werden, daß es in dieser geistigen Welt im wesentlichen darauf ankommt, daß sich die Seele dazu anschickt, um nach Maßgabe dessen, was sie in früheren Erdenleben erlebt hat, sich die folgenden zu zimmern. Sie muß, wie es ihrem Schicksale entspricht, vorzugsweise zwischen dem Tode und der neuen Geburt in der geistigen Welt mit sich selbst beschäftigt sein. Wenn wir so die menschliche Seele betrachten, dann erscheint sie uns von diesen zwei Gesichtspunkten aus folgendermaßen. Sie erscheint uns in ihrer Bedeutung für die physisch-sinnliche Welt so, daß diese für sie die große Lehrstätte ist, wo sie aus sich herausgehen muß, wo Egoismus sich in Altruismus verwandeln kann, so daß sie etwas wird für den weiten Umkreis des Daseins. Und die Welt zwischen dem Tode und der nächsten Geburt erscheint uns als diejenige, in welcher die Seele in sich erkraftet leben muß, und für welche die Seele gerade wertlos sein würde, wenn sie in diese Welt schwach und nicht erkraftet eintreten würde.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":309,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/63/1914-01-15/p028"}],"english":["GA 63/1914-01-15/p025","GA 63/1914-01-15/p026"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":309,"en_words":345,"ratio":1.12,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.07,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10981,"original_word_count":10241,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"eLib2015","book_title":"Spiritual Science as a Life's Work","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA063/English/eLib2015/19140115p02.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
