By leading us—at least in thinking—into the spiritual world, anthroposophy has certain beneficial qualities in common with sleep. The cares and worries that issue from the things of the sense world are obliterated in sleep. If human beings are able to sleep and their thinking is blotted out, they forget all worries. That is the most beneficent effect of sleep, an effect resulting from the fact that the ego lets the forces of the spiritual world stream into it during sleep. These spiritual streams contain strengthening forces, the effect of which is to help us forget our worries and cares during sleep and also to repair the damage that such worries and cares have inflicted upon our organism. The injuries caused by the sense world are healed by spiritual powers—hence the refreshment, the regeneration that every healthy sleep bestows upon us. In a higher sense, these then are the qualities that spiritual scientific thinking has in common with sleep.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10.

Im Schlaf hören alle Sorgen und Bekümmernisse auf, die aus den Dingen der Sinnenwelt heraus kommen. Wenn der Mensch schlafen kann und sein Denken ausgelöscht ist, vergißt er alle Sorgen. Das ist die wohltuendste Wirkung des Schlafes und sie beruht darauf, daß das Ich während des Schlafes die Strömungen der geistigen Welt in sich einfließen läßt. Diese Strömungen haben stärkende Kräfte und bringen es dahin, daß nicht nur während des Schlafes Vergessen der Sorgen und Kümmernisse eintritt, sondern daß auch jene Schädigungen unseres Organismus, die wir durch Sorgen und Kümmernisse empfangen, dadurch überwunden werden. Was diese schlimm gemacht haben, löscht jene geistige Macht aus, und daher die Erquickung, die Wiedergeburt, die jeder gesunde Schlaf gibt.
