When the sun has completed its passage through one constellation, the face of the earth has changed to such an extent that it is profitable for the human being to enter a new life. For this reason the time of reincarnation depends upon the progress of the vernal equinox. The period required by the sun for its passage through one zodiacal constellation is the period within which the human being is twice incarnated, once as a man and once as a woman. The experiences in a male and a female organism are so fundamentally different for spiritual life that the human being incarnates once as a woman and once as a man into the same conditions of the earth. This makes an average of 1,000 to 1,300 years between two incarnations.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V. Man's Communal Life Between Death and a New Birth.

Wenn die Sonne ein Sternbild durchlaufen hat, hat auch die Erde ihr Antlitz so verändert, daß es wertvoll ist für den Menschen, von neuem zu leben. Daher hängt die Zeit der Wiederverkörperung ab von dem Vorrücken des Frühlingspunktes. Ungefähr die Zeit, die die Sonne braucht, um durch ein solches Tierkreiszeichen durchzugehen, ist die Zeit, in der der Mensch zweimal inkarniert ist, einmal männlich und einmal weiblich. Denn die Erfahrungen und Erlebnisse, die der Mensch durchmachen kann in einem männlichen oder weiblichen Organismus, sind für das geistige Leben so grundverschieden, daß er in demselben Antlitz der Erde sich einmal weiblich und einmal männlich inkarniert. Und das gibt ungefähr die Zeit zwischen zwei Inkarnationen von etwa 1000 bis 1300 Jahren durchschnittlich.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":141,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/99/1907-05-29/p021"}],"english":["GA 99/1907-05-29/p022"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":141,"en_words":160,"ratio":1.13,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.1,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3389,"original_word_count":3087,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Mabel Cotterell and Dorothy S.
