Help must be brought to him from without. Thus in Devachan the etheric body is once more made complete by external Deva powers. The Physical Plane and Devachan are polar opposites. Between them lies Kamaloka, a place of transition, a transitional stage, an intermediary condition that causes the human being to be connected with what he has worked into his astral body. The astral body leads man on to the Physical Plane, where he directs his attention outwards. Here desires are cultivated by contact with external things. When a person dies his craving for outer objects does not immediately cease, although he no longer has organs bringing him into connection with them. The desire remains but the organs are lacking. In Kamaloka he must break himself from this longing for the outer-world. Kamaloka does not actually belong to normal development; it is only a stage where habits must be relinquished. It is because man can no longer satisfy his wishes, because he no longer has organs for the physical world, that Kamaloka comes about.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture XII","site_heading":"The Four-Fold Human Being and Evolutionary Development","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.

Von außen muß nachgeholfen werden. So wird im Devachan von äußeren Devamächten der Ätherleib wieder ergänzt. Gegensätze sind der physische Plan und das Devachan. Dazwischen liegt Kamaloka, eine Übergangsstation, eine Übergangsstufe, ein Zwischenzustand, der dadurch bewirkt wird, daß der Mensch zusammenhängt mit dem, worin er hineingearbeitet hat. Der Astralleib führt den Menschen auf den physischen Plan, auf dem er sich nach außen richtet. Die Begierden lernen dort an den äußeren Dingen Geschmack gewinnen. Ist der Mensch gestorben, so hört die Gier nach den äußeren Gegenständen nicht sogleich auf, obwohl er keine Organe mehr hat, um mit ihnen in Verbindung zu treten. Die Gier bleibt, aber die Organe fehlen. Dieses Begehren der äußeren Welt muß sich der Mensch im Kamaloka abgewöhnen. Das Kamaloka gehört eigentlich gar nicht zur normalen Entwickelung hinzu; es ist nur ein Abgewöhnungszustand. Weil der Mensch seine Wünsche nicht mehr physisch befriedigen kann, weil er keine Organe mehr für die physische Welt hat, deshalb tritt Kamaloka ein.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":183,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/93a/1905-10-07/p024"}],"english":["GA 93a/1905-10-07/p024"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":183,"en_words":202,"ratio":1.1,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.12,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3113,"original_word_count":2772,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Vera and Judith Compton-Burnett","identified_edition":"RSP1982","book_title":"Foundations of Esotericism","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA093a/English/RSP1982/19051007p01.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.
