We have, to begin with, the force which lies at the foundation of memory. Through memory, things experienced in the past rise up in our consciousness. Memory brings a connected sequence into life, so that our existence from birth to death becomes a whole, a unity.—A second element is what we call thinking, our representing power—I cannot go into further details, this is not the essential point just now, but our thinking activity is something that lives in the present. And if we proceed further, we come to feeling, and still further to the will. When we look into ourselves, our own inner being takes on the aspect of memory, thinking, feeling and will.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Etheric Being in the Physical Human Being","site_heading":null,"date":"1915-04-20","location":null,"word_count":147,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/157/1915-04-20/p017","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"The Destinies of Individuals and of Nations","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA157/English/Singles/19150420p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.

Da ist zunächst die Kraft, die unserer Erinnerung zugrunde liegt. In der Erinnerung lassen wir dasjenige auferstehen vor unserem Bewußtsein, was wir in früheren Zeiten schon erlebt haben. Diese Erinnerung bringt in unser Leben einen Zusammenhang hinein, so daß dieses Leben zwischen Geburt und Tod eine Einheit ist. Ein Zweites ist dann dasjenige, was wir unser Denken, was wir Vorstellen nennen. Ich kann hier diese Begriffe nicht weiter auseinandersetzen, darauf kommt es jetzt nicht an; aber was Vorstellungstätigkeit ist, ist das, was in der Gegenwart verläuft. Und wenn wir noch weiter vorrücken, so bekommen wir das Fühlen, und noch weiter das Wollen. Indem wir in uns hineinschauen, erscheint uns unser eigenes Innere als Erinnern, als Denken, als Fühlen, als Wollen. Nun können wir die Frage aufwerfen: was ist der wesentliche Unterschied zwischen diesen vier Verrichtungen der Seele? Die gewöhnliche Psychologie zählt diese Verrichtungen der Seele auf, und sie unterscheidet nicht weiter. Aber auf die Wahrheit kommt man erst dann, wenn man auf das Wesen dieser vier Seelenverrichtungen eingehen kann, und da kommt man darauf, daß das Wollen gewissermaßen das Baby unter unseren Seelentätigkeiten ist; das Fühlen ist schon älter, das Denken ist noch älter, und die Tätigkeit, die in der Erinnerung ausgeübt wird, ist der Greis, ist das Älteste unter unseren Seelentätigkeiten. Sie werden noch klarer das einsehen, wenn ich Ihnen den folgenden Gesichtspunkt geltend mache.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":260,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/157/1915-04-20/p015"}],"english":["GA 157/1915-04-20/p017","GA 157/1915-04-20/p018"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":260,"en_words":236,"ratio":0.91,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.96,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4820,"original_word_count":5035,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"The Destinies of Individuals and of Nations","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA157/English/Singles/19150420p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
