I have already hinted at them: from the beginning of the twenties to the end of the twenties; from the end of the twenties to the age of thirty-five or thirty-six; from the age of thirty-six to the age of forty-two or forty-three. The human soul does go through certain developmental phases that can be clearly distinguished, even if, as I said, what can be distinguished here only spreads like a finer mood over the soul life. There is a spiritual and soul element to the development in these years. And those who are familiar with the difference between the spiritual and the soul, which has often been mentioned here and to which I will return, will understand what I mean. In these years, up to the forty-second, forty-third, forty-fourth year, we are dealing with inner development alone, one that is colored by soul and spirit. Then a more spiritual development of the inner life begins. The inner life withdraws even more than in previous years from the saturation and permeation of the organism. It lives even more within itself. And the possibility of distinguishing periods of time for the future is hardly appropriate for the present state of development of humanity. Only when earthly development has progressed further will it be possible to distinguish between the decades of human life in the way we do for the earlier years. Thus we see how, in a quite remarkable way, the soul and spirit interact in what confronts us as human beings in the physical world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"14.

Ich habe sie ja schon angedeutet: von dem Anfang der zwanziger bis zum Ende der zwanziger Jahre; vom Ende der zwanziger Jahre bis zum fünfunddreißigsten, sechsunddreißigsten Jahre; vom sechsunddreißigsten Jahre bis zum zweiundvierzigsten, dreiundvierzigsten, vierundvierzigsten Jahre. Die Seele des Menschen macht da doch gewisse Entwickelungsphasen durch, die sich genau unterscheiden lassen, wenn sich auch, wie gesagt, dasjenige, was da zu unterscheiden ist, nur wie eine feinere Stimmung über das Seelenleben ausbreitet. Es ist ein Geistig-Seelisches in der Entwickelung in diesen Jahren. Und derjenige, der den Unterschied zwischen dem Geistigen und Seelischen kennt, von dem hier oftmals gesprochen wurde und auf den ich wieder zurückkommen werde, wird verstehen, was ich meine. In diesen Jahren, bis zum zweiundvierzigsten, dreiundvierzigsten, vierundvierzigsten Jahre hin, haben wir es mit der inneren Entwickelung allein, einer geistig-seelisch schattierten, zu tun. Dann beginnt eine mehr geistige Entwickelung des Inneren. Das Innere zieht sich noch mehr als in den vorhergehenden Jahren von dem Durchtränken und Durchdringen des Organismus zurück, Es lebt noch mehr in sich. Und die Möglichkeit, Zeitabschnitte für das Weitere zu unterscheiden, ist kaum angängig für den gegenwärtigen Entwickelungszustand der Menschheit. Erst wenn sich die Erdenentwickelung weitergeführt haben wird, wird sich auch für die folgenden Jahrzehnte des menschlichen Lebens eine Unterscheidung in der Weise wie für die früheren Jahre finden lassen. So sehen wir, wie in einer ganz merk würdigen Art Geistig-Seelisches zusammenwirkt in dem, was uns als Mensch in der physischen Welt gegenüberrritt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":246,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/65/1916-04-13/p016"}],"english":["GA 65/1916-04-13/p016"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":246,"en_words":266,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":12620,"original_word_count":11914,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"From Central European Intellectual Life","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA065/English/SOL2024/19160413p01.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.
