Yet the thoughts which live in us are very deceptive, for human thoughts are related to the Beings of the Intelligent World in the same way in which our shadow is related to our real self. Even as the shadow upon the wall is not I, but only my own shadow, so man's thoughts are only shadow-pictures in the world of the spirit. But here on earth we are able to grasp a thought because in the Intelligent World there is a real Being who produces this thought. This is a world in which our thoughts are real beings, whom we encounter in the same way in which we here meet other human beings. This Intelligent World of the Rosicrucians is for an initiate the higher Devachan World, the Arupa Devachan of the Hindoos, or the higher Mental World. When an initiate passes through the physical world, every portion of the earth speaks to him of life, and he experiences everywhere the manifestations of another world. Since in our physical body we are nothing but portions of the physical world, we also have a subordinate physical consciousness, reaching as far as the Intelligent World, that is to say, as far as the consciousness of the mineral world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"II.

Aber die Gedanken, die in uns leben, sind ein höchst trügerisches Ding; die Gedankenwelt des Menschen verhält sich zu den Wesenheiten dieser Vernunftwelt etwa wie unser Schatten an der Wand zu uns selbst. Wie der Schatten an der Wand doch nicht ich selbst bin, sondern eben nur der Schatten von mir, so sind die Gedanken der Menschen nur Schattenbilder von der Welt des Geistes. Aber daß ein Gedanke hier gefaßt wird, das hat seinen Grund darin, daß in der Vernunftwelt wirklich eine schaffende Wesenheit ist, die diesen Gedanken produziert. Es ist eine Welt, wo unsere Gedanken wirkliche Wesenheiten sind, denen man dort begegnet, wie man hier den andern Menschen begegnet. Das ist für den Eingeweihten die obere Devachanwelt, das Arupa Devachan der Inder, oder auch die obere Mentalwelt, das ist die Vernunftwelt der Rosenkreuzer. Wenn ein Eingeweihter durch diese physische Welt geht, spricht zu ihm auf jedem Stück Erde Leben, und er fühlt in allem die Manifestationen einer andern Welt. Da wir nun in unserem physischen Leibe nichts anderes sind als Stücke dieser physischen Welt, haben wir auch ein untergeordnetes physisches Bewußtsein, das hinaufreicht bis in die obere Vernunftwelt, eben bis dahin, wo auch das Bewußtsein der mineralischen Welt liegt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":234,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-17/p011"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-17/p012"],"method":"length+anchor_constrained","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":234,"en_words":247,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.08,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4619,"original_word_count":4267,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"ANS1942","book_title":"Theosophy and Rosicrucianism","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA100/English/ANS1942/19070617p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
