As sleep continues, however, a man begins to dive down into the experiences undergone in his preceding earthly life , then into those of the life before that, and so on, backwards.
And when the time of awakening comes he has reached and passed his first, most distant earthly life as an individual. Then according to Rudolf Steiner man reaches the state of being when he was not yet separate from the cosmos, a state of existence in reference to which one cannot speak of an earthly life as an individual.
"Only when he has reached thus far can he return again into his physical and etheric organisation."
In generaly the fact is that even during the briefest sleep we rush with tremendous, lightning-like rapidity through all our earthly lives.
