Consciousness can be explained in no other way than by the overlapping of these two streams, and if you will visualize all the damming up that comes about here, you will see that the soul takes part in all that flows out of the past and in what streams to meet that current out of the future. Observing the conscious soul life at any given moment, you will see a certain interpenetration of these two streams.

Und wenn der gegenwärtige Augenblick in unserem Seelenleben eine solche Begegnung ist, dann werden Sie leicht begreifen, daß diese zwei Ströme in der Seele selber zusammenkommen, sozusagen übereinanderschlagen. Dieses Übereinanderschlagen ist das Bewußtsein. Es gibt keine andere Erklärung für das Bewußtsein, als die eben gegebene. So nimmt also unsere Seele teil an allem, was aus der Vergangenheit weiterfließt in die Zukunft, und an allem, was uns aus der Zukunft entgegenkommt. Wenn Sie also in irgendeinem Moment in Ihr Seelenleben schauen, können Sie sagen: Da ist etwas wie eine Durchdringung von dem, was aus der Vergangenheit in die Zukunft fließt, mit dem, was aus der Zukunft in die Vergangenheit fließt und sich dem ersteren entgegenstemmt als Begehrungen, als Interessiertheit, als Wünsche und so weiter.
