We also spoke of “Rupa-Devachan,” or the region known as the Heaven world, the world of Inspiration. We heard that this region-the Spirit-Land proper-has a fourfold constitution, like the physical world. There is the Continental region, permeated by a flowing oceanic region which is more aptly to be compared with the blood circulation in the human organism. In the surrounding “air” of Devachan which is analogous to the atmosphere of our earth, is to be found all that pervades the souls of beings in the physical world in the way of joys, sufferings, sorrows, afflictions, only this air must be conceived in a much wider sense because this world is the dwelling-place of other, quite different Beings who are not incarnate in physical bodies. Finally we heard how in the fourth region of Devachan everything that is truly original, from the most trivial to the most lofty inspiration of the inventor or artist, exists as an archetype. In this world Lies the motive force of the progress of our earth. But in addition to these constituent realms of the spiritual world proper, we find that which links our earth with still higher worlds.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IV.

Wir haben ferner beschrieben das sogenannte Rupa-Devachan oder das Gebiet, das man genannt hat die himmlische oder inspirierende Welt. Wir haben gesehen, daß dieses Gebiet, das eigentliche Geisterland, gleich dem Gebiet unserer physischen Welt eine Viergliedrigkeit aufweist. Wir haben das kontinentale Gebiet, welches durchsetzt ist von einer Art Ozean- und Flußgebiet, das wir aber besser noch mit der Form des Blutkreislaufs im Organismus des Menschen vergleichen. Wir haben gesehen, daß auch im Devachan, als Analogie zur Atmosphäre unserer Erde, im sogenannten Luftkreis sich alles das findet, was an Freuden und Leiden, an Schmerzen und Plagen die Seelen der in der physischen Welt befindlichen Wesen durchzieht, allerdings weit ausgedehnter, weil noch ganz andere Wesen dort leben, die nicht in physischen Leibern inkarniert sind. Wir haben endlich gesehen, daß im vierten Gebiet alles das, was originell ist, vom kleinsten Einfall bis zu dem Höchsten, was der Erfinder und Künstler leistet, als Vorbild zu finden ist. Dort ist das eigentlich Treibende, das unsere Erde vorwärtsbringt. Außer diesen Bestandstücken der eigentlichen geistigen Welt finden wir aber auch noch das, was unsere Erde verbindet mit noch höheren Welten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":228,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/99/1907-05-28/p003"}],"english":["GA 99/1907-05-28/p003"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":228,"en_words":235,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3399,"original_word_count":3225,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Mabel Cotterell and Dorothy S.
