Our past life does not stand before the soul as is usual in the memory, with isolated reminiscences emerging, independently or after some exertion. Instead, all at once our life is surveyed like a mighty tableau, not in space but in time. All at once, with a single glance of the soul, we survey our life; but we see it as it informs our growth and the energies of our physical body. We see ourselves as we have been here on this earth as thinking, feeling, willing beings, but in such a way that thinking, feeling and willing now densify and at the same time take their places organically within the human substance. We can see into our spiritual life in its direct association with the physical. We cease trying to establish by philosophical speculation how the soul affects the body. In seeing the soul, we also see how at every moment our physical life on earth has been informed by what the tableau shows us. This will be described more fully in the next few days.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Nicht so wie es sonst in der Erinnerung ist, in der einzelne Reminiszenzen auftauchen — selbständig oder durch Anstrengung -, nicht so steht dieses vergangene Erdenleben jetzt vor der Seele, sondern es wird auf einmal überschaut wie ein mächtiges Tableau, das aber nicht im Raum, sondern in der Zeit vor uns steht. Wir überblicken auf einmal, mit einem Seelenblick, dieses Leben; aber so, wie es auch eingreift in unsere Wachstumsverhältnisse, in die Kraftwirksamkeiten unseres physischen Leibes. Wir schauen uns, wie wir auf dieser Erde hier als denkende, fühlende, wollende Wesen waren, aber so, daß Denken, Fühlen und Wollen sich jetzt verdichten und sich zu gleicher Zeit hineinorganisieren in die menschliche Wesenheit. Wir durchschauen unser geistig-seelisches Leben, wie es in unmittelbarer Verbindung steht mit dem Körperlichen. Wir geben es auf, durch philosophische Spekulation zu ergründen, wie die Seele auf den Leib wirkt. Wenn wir die Seele schauen, dann schauen wir auch, wie in jedem Augenblick das, was uns so in dem Tableau erscheint, in unser physisches Erdenleben eingegriffen hat. Die Einzelheiten werden in den nächsten Tagen zu schildern sein.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":226,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/83/1922-06-02/p029"}],"english":["GA 83/1922-06-02/p029"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":226,"en_words":215,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.94,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6877,"original_word_count":7314,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"B.
