Now only, after the bitterness of doubt, you open yourself to the regions of the spiritual and know that your doubt was justified, and in what sense it was justified. For it had to be, since you imagined that the ideas had come into your soul from the times and spaces of the physical world. How do you now feel your world of ideas having experienced its origin in the spiritual worlds? Now for the first time you feel yourself inspired. Before, you were feeling the infinite void spread around you like a dark abyss. Now you begin to feel that you are standing on a rock that rises up out of the abyss. You know with certainty, “Now I am connected with the spiritual worlds. They, not the world of sense, have bestowed on me my world of ideas.”","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"Soul Upheaval and the Birth of Abstract Thought","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Jetzt erst, nach dem bitteren Zweifel, öffnet man sich den Regionen des Spirituellen und weiß, daß der Zweifel berechtigt war, und wie er berechtigt war. Denn er mußte berechtigt sein, weil man geglaubt hat, daß die Ideen aus den Zeiten und Räumen in die Seele gekommen seien. Aber was empfindet man jetzt? Als was empfindet man die Ideenwelt, nachdem man sie erlebt hat aus den spirituellen Welten heraus? Jetzt fühlt man sich zum ersten Male inspiriert, jetzt beginnt man, während man früher wie einen Abgrund die unendliche Öde um sich ausgedehnt empfunden hat, jetzt beginnt man sich zu fühlen wie auf einem Felsen stehend, der aus dem Abgrunde emporwächst, und man fühlt sich so, daß man weiß: Jetzt bist du in Verbindung mit den geistigen Welten, diese und nicht die Sinnenwelt haben dich mit der Ideenwelt beschenkt. — Das ist eine nächste Etappe für die sich entwikkelnde Seele. Das ist diejenige Etappe, wo es beim Menschen beginnt mit dem, was heute schon eine triviale Wahrheit geworden ist, recht ernst zu werden. Daß man dieses Fühlen im Herzen trägt, das ist die Vorbereitung dazu, daß man überhaupt im richtigen Sinne empfindet, was jetzt, nach der gewaltigen, großen Erschütterung der Seele des Arjuna, von Krishna dem Arjuna als erste Wahrheit gegeben wird: die Wahrheit von dem ewigen Geiste, der in den Verwandlungen lebt. In Begriffen und Ideen wird zum abstrakten Verstande gesprochen, Krishna spricht zum Herzen des Arjuna, und was ganz trivial für den Verstand sein mag, ist etwas unendlich Tiefes, Erhabenes für das Herz.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":306,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/146/1913-05-29/p023"}],"english":["GA 146/1913-05-29/p024","GA 146/1913-05-29/p025"],"method":"length+anchor_constrained","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":306,"en_words":308,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.97,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5876,"original_word_count":6059,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"George and Mary Adams with emendations by Doris M.
