Erstens betrachten wir das menschliche Denken, das menschliche Vorstellen, den Gedanken, den der Mensch in sich tragen kann, durch den er sich die Welt begreiflich macht in aller seiner Einsamkeit. Gedanken zu haben, innerlich sich auseinanderzusetzen in voller Einsamkeit, das kann der Mensch ganz für sich. Dazu braucht er sich nicht anzuschlieBen an irgendeinen Menschen. Er macht es sogar am besten dadurch, daß er sich abschließt in seinem Kämmerchen und im stillen, in sich geschlossenen Denken mit der Kraft, die in irgendeinem Zeitpunkt sein Denken hat, versucht, die Welt und ihre Vorgänge zu verstehen. Nun sagte Benedictus: Ja, wenn man so verfährt mit dem Gedanken, dann ist es aber beim einzelnen Menschen immer so, daß das fühlsame Element der Seele heraufwirkt in den Gedanken, in die Vorstellungen hinein. Dadurch tritt immer die Versuchung, die Verlockung des luziferischen Elementes an den Menschen heran. Es ist gar nicht denkbar, daß der Mensch in Einsamkeit grübelt und spintisiert und philosophiert und sich über die Dinge der Welt aufklärt, ohne daß aus seiner fühlsamen Seele dieser Einschlag in das Denken kommt, und dadurch ein luziferischer Impuls in das einsame Denken hineinkommt. Der von dem einzelnen Menschen erfaßte Gedanke ist immer durchdrungen, zum großen Teil erfaßt und durchdrungen vom luziferischen Element.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":213,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/147/1913-08-28/p016"}],"english":["GA 147/1913-08-28/p021","GA 147/1913-08-28/p022"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":213,"en_words":186,"ratio":0.87,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.95,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5428,"original_word_count":5687,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Ruth Pusch","identified_edition":"AP1987","book_title":"Secrets of the Threshold","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA147/English/AP1987/19130828p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
