And no attention is paid to how the human soul has changed over time, how it has taken on a different form over the centuries. What people had in earlier times is regarded as if it all came from soul impulses that are always the same. If you believe this, you don't know how the human soul has changed, which was connected to human life in a completely different way back then. Today we only know of such a connection in the youth and childhood of a person. We know how the soul is closely connected with the development of life and how what is called spiritual development often depends on the historical course of life. But by the twentieth year this ceases for the human being; the close connection that can be scientifically traced [of the spiritual-soul with the development of the physical-bodily] ceases, and the spirit begins to develop, and this period then comes to an end by the twentieth year.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The History of Mankind in the Light of Supersensible Reality Research","site_heading":null,"date":"1918-05-29","location":null,"word_count":187,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/71b/1918-05-29/p050","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Human Being as a Spirit and Soul Being","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA071b/English/SOL2024/19180529p01.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.

Und es wird nicht darauf hingesehen, wie sich die menschliche Seele im Laufe der Zeiten verändert hat, wie sie im Laufe der Jahrhunderte immer eine andere Verfassung angenommen hat. Man betrachtet dasjenige, was in früheren Zeiten die Menschen gehabt haben, wie wenn das alles aus solchen Seelenimpulsen gekommen wäre, die stets gleich sind, und man weiß nicht, wenn man das glaubt, wie sich die menschliche Seele verändert hat, die damals in ganz anderer Weise mit dem menschlichen Leben verbunden war. Wir kennen heute eine solche Verbindung nur im Jugend- und Kindheitsalter des Menschen, wir wissen, wie die Seele eng verbunden ist mit der Lebensentwicklung und wie vom geschichtlichen Laufe des Lebens oft abhängt dasjenige, was sich geistige Entwicklung nennt. Aber mit dem zwanzigsten Jahre hört das auf für den Menschen, es hört auf die enge Verbindung, die man naturwissenschaftlich verfolgen kann, [des Geistig-Seelischen mit der Entwicklung des Leiblich-Körperhaften], und es beginnt sich der Geist zu entwickeln, und diese Periode geht dann mit dem zwanzigsten Jahre zu Ende.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":191,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/71b/1918-05-29/p050"}],"english":["GA 71b/1918-05-29/p050"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":191,"en_words":187,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8851,"original_word_count":8620,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Human Being as a Spirit and Soul Being","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA071b/English/SOL2024/19180529p01.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.
