One gets to know many different inhabitants on the astral plane. Thus there are forms that hasten through astral space at tremendous speed; they whirr through the astral world like bell—shapes. These are human beings on their way back to being born. When a human being has transformed all life's experiences into abilities in the devachan, he goes down to the astral world again. Just as a magnet attracts iron shavings, so do human beings gather the ether body for their next life as they return to the astral space. This happens with the help of other spirits. At the same time human beings are guided towards the parents who will be more or less right for the new incarnation. They can only be given the best possible body. Entering into the physical body happens not only from this one point of view, for the place and environment in which people develop is also determined. All this is determined by the things which they have done in the previous life on earth. The astral substance coming to them consists in the abilities they have gained. The ideas which have become an established part of the soul influence the configuration of the ether body. The ether body in its turn determined the nature of the physical body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XII.

Man lernt die mannigfachsten Bewohner des Astralplanes kennen. So gibt es Gebilde, die mit riesiger Schnelligkeit durch den Astralraum eilen; wie Glockengebilde durchschwirren sie die Astralwelt. Es sind die wieder zur Geburt zurückkehrenden Menschen. Wenn der Mensch im Devachan alle Erlebnisse in Fähigkeiten umgewandelt hat, steigt er wieder nieder in die astrale Welt. Wie der Magnet Eisensplitter anzieht, so gliedert sich der Mensch bei der Rückkehr in den Astralraum den Ätherleib für sein neues Erdenleben an. Das geschieht mit Hilfe anderer geistiger Wesen. Dann wird der Mensch gleichzeitig hingeleitet zu dem Elternpaar, welches für seine neue Inkarnation annähernd geeignet ist. Nur der bestmögliche Leib kann ihm angegliedert werden. Nun geschieht die Eingliederung in den physischen Leib nicht bloß nach diesem einen Gesichtspunkt, sondern auch der Ort und die Umgebung wird bestimmt, woraus sich der Mensch entwikkelt. All dies wird bestimmt durch die Handlungen, welche die Menschen im vorhergehenden Leben vollführt haben. Was sich von Astralsubstanz herangliedert, das sind die Fähigkeiten, die er erworben hat. Die Vorstellungen, die zu einem festen Bestandteil seiner Seele geworden sind, wirken sich in der Gestaltung des Ätherleibes aus. Der Ätherleib bedingt wiederum die Beschaffenheit des physischen Leibes.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":199,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/96/1906-10-22/p017"}],"english":["GA 96/1906-10-22/p020"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":199,"en_words":228,"ratio":1.15,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.15,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3329,"original_word_count":2904,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Anna Meuss","identified_edition":"CMP2001","book_title":"Original Impulses fo the Science of the Spirit","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA096/English/CMP2001/19061022p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 96/1906-10-22/p017"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"medium","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
