When he came forth from the astral world the Gods forsook him. In the physical world he had to learn to become his own master. Here therefore he can only live, as he actually does live, swinging pendulum-wise between truth and error. He must grope about and seek his way for himself. Now for the most part he is groping in the dark. His gaze is turned outwards; he has freedom of choice, but he is also exposed to error. On the Astral Plane man had no such freedom; there he was subject to compulsion from the powers standing behind him. Like a kind of marionette he still dangled on the strings of the Gods; they still had to guide him. In so far as man today is still a soul being, the Gods still live in him. Here freedom and unfreedom are strongly mixed. His wishes are continually changing. This ebb and flow of wishes proceeds from within. Here it is the Gods who are working in man.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture XI","site_heading":"Karma and Consciousness Across Three Worlds","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Daher kann er hier nur so leben, wie er tatsächlich lebt: zwischen Irrtum und Wahrheit hin- und herpendelnd. Er muß tappen und sich seinen Weg selbst suchen. Nun tappt er zum großen Teil im Finstern. Da ist sein Blick nach außen gewendet, er ist frei zwischen den Dingen, aber auch dem Irrtum ist er ausgesetzt. Auf dem Astralplan hatte der Mensch keine solche Freiheit; da wurde er von den hinter ihm stehenden Mächten gedrängt und getrieben.
