Life after life, this scope increases in our process of development, we progress in knowledge and insight, for it is our destiny to gradually absorb the whole conceptual content of our world, our cosmos, into ourselves. We can never do this without gradually experiencing the whole richness of the world of phenomena. Nature lives in us when we fully grasp it. Calm, peace and contentment with one's life must overcome everyone who clearly recognizes that he has been born into the circle for which he had prepared himself through his past karma and which he must now fulfill with all his loyalty and exhaust in its entirety through his activity. In this way he has gained a field of knowledge through his own life and is now working in his own line to expand it, in order to create higher and better conditions of existence for himself in the future. And so he will also reach out his hand in loving understanding to his brother, who is trying to climb up under him on the ladder of beings, to help him, because he himself was still on the same rung not so long ago, struggling laboriously upwards, stretching out his hands to his brothers who had gone before him.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"12.

Leben für Leben steigert sich in unserem Entwicklungsgang dieser Umfang, wir schreiten in Wissen und Erkenntnis fort, denn unsere Bestimmung ist es, den ganzen Ideeninhalt unserer Welt, unseres Kosmos, nach und nach in uns aufzunehmen. Wir können das nie, ohne stufenweise in uns den ganzen Reichtum der Erscheinungswelt als Erfahrung zu durchleben. Die Natur lebt in uns, wenn wir sie ganz erfassen. Ruhe, Friede und Zufriedenheit mit seinem Lebenslose muß jeden überkommen, der klar erkennt, daß er in den Kreis hineingeboren ist, für den er sich durch sein vergangenes Karma selbst vorbereitet hatte und den er nun mit der ganzen Treue auszufüllen und dessen ganzen Umfang er durch seine Tätigkeit zu erschöpfen hat. Damit hat er durch eigenes Frleben ein Wissensgebiet sich errungen und arbeitet nun in seiner eigenen Linie an der Erweiterung desselben, um sich höhere und bessere Daseinsbedingungen für künftig zu schaffen. So wird er auch dem Bruder, der unter ihm auf der Stufenleiter der Wesen emporzuklimmen versucht, in liebevollem Verständnis die Hand reichen, um ihm zu helfen, denn er selbst stand ja vor kurzem noch auf derselben Sprosse und rang sich mühsam empor, die Hände ausstreckend nach den Brüdern, die ihm voraus emporgeschritten waren.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":229,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/88/1903-06-28/p008"}],"english":["GA 88/1903-06-28/p008"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":229,"en_words":241,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.08,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2180,"original_word_count":2016,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2022","book_title":"On the Astral World and Devachan","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA088/English/SOL2022/19030628p01.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.
