On returning home, he may enter his study, where papers are lying on his desk, papers that may contain things he made use of in his intrigues. Now what may happen, despite the cynical cast of his ordinary consciousness, is that his subconscious may be seized by these impulses to make intrigues.

But such things belong to the realm of the possible; they happen often and most easily to those given to intrigue. What one encounters is indeed the double. The double is one among many tasks I have set myself to tackle in the two plays, *The Guardian of the Threshold* and *The Souls' Awakening*. We know that the double is experienced by Johannes Thomasius. It is due to his peculiar development and to the strange experiences he has lived through that he has these encounters with the double in the scenes shown;[^2] Ahriman can form a part of his soul in such a way at this soul fragment—essentially a part of his etheric body—is filled with self-seeking soul elements. This sort of thing occurs only when the preconditions are such as those in Johannes Thomasius's case. You can get quite an idea of Johannes's particular soul in the course of the four dramas. A certain stage in his soul development is also indicated at the end of *The Guardian of the Threshold*.[^3] Such a stage is reached by many seekers on the spiritual path.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":200,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/147/1913-08-30/p014","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1913-08-30","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 147/1913-08-30/p009","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/147/1913-08-30/p009"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 147/1913-08-30/p009"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":345,"en_words":331,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Es kann das Folgende vorkommen: Irgendein Mensch kann ein Intrigant sein, kann mancherlei Menschen durch seine Intrigen Böses zugefügt haben. Er kann wieder einmal ausgegangen sein und irgendeine Intrige eingefädelt haben. Er kommt zurück in seine Wohnung, tritt vielleicht in sein Schreibzimmer ein, auf seinem Schreibtisch liegen vielleicht Papiere, auf denen Dinge stehen, mit denen er die Intrigen eingefädelt hat, und es kann ihm passieren, trotzdem er in seinem Oberbewußtsein zynisch geartet sein kann, daß doch sein Unterbewußtsein erfaßt wird von jenen Impulsen des Intrigierens. Er tritt ein in sein Schreibzimmer, schaut zu seinem Schreibtisch hin und siehe da: er sitzt da selber. Das ist eine unangenehme Begegnung, wenn man durch seine eigene Türe ins Zimmer tritt und sich selbst am Schreibtisch sitzen sieht. Aber solche Dinge gehören in den Bereich dessen, was sehr oft passiert und was dann gerade leicht passieren kann, wenn solches Intrigieren stattfindet. Dasjenige, dem man da begegnet, ist durchaus der Doppelgänger, den ich wiederum mit anderen Aufgaben versucht habe, in dem «Hüter der Schwelle» und in «Der Seelen Erwachen» darzustellen. Wir wissen, daß dieser Doppelgänger von Johannes Thomasius erlebt wird, und es hängt mit der eigentümlichen Entwickelung des Johannes Thomasius zusammen, daß er an den Stellen, wo es gezeigt wird, die Begegnung mit dem Doppelgänger hat, weil durch die eigentümlichen Erlebnisse, die er gehabt hat, Ahriman einen Teil seiner Seele formgemäß so gestalten kann, daß dieser Teil der Seele substantiell als Teil des ätherischen Leibes mit selbstsüchtigen Seelenelementen erfüllt ist. So etwas tritt dann auf, wenn die Vorbedingungen geschaffen sind wie bei Johannes Thomasius. Sie können ein wenig in die eigenartige Seele dieses Johannes Thomasius durch die vier Dramen hindurchblicken. Es ist auch am Ende von «Der Hüter der Schwelle» ein gewisser Entwickelungspunkt in der Seele des Johannes Thomasius angedeutet. Solch ein Entwickelungspunkt kann für viele Seelen eintreten, welche den Weg in die übersinnlichen Welten hinauf suchen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":345,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/147/1913-08-30/p009"}],"beads":[{"from":[13,14],"to":[9],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
