Unborn-ness
"...just as we pass through the gate of death with our eternal, spiritual essence and continue on to another life in the spiritual world - one visible to spiritual investigation - so too, do we descend before birth or conception from the spiritual world into physical, earthly incarnation.
Not only do we pass through the gate of death as immortal beings, we enter through the gate of birth as unborn beings.
We need the term "unbornness" as well as the term "immortality" to encompass the whole human being."
Rudolf Steiner
from "Idee und Praxis der Waldorfschule"
1920
