That thinking exists, into which the supersensible forces and supersensible beings extend, and this thinking also opens straight away after the human being has gone through the gate of death. The materialists are afraid of admitting that the human consciousness can be extended that really the barrier between the physical and the spiritual experience can fall, between that what lies on this side of death and beyond death. Because they are afraid, they reject it as something fantastic, dream-like, nay as mentally ill. However, one will recognise that the human being when he has gone through the gate of death develops only the forces which he also has now already between birth and death. Only they work in such depths that he does not behold them. They cause processes in him which are done, indeed, in him, but escape his attention in the everyday life. With the forces of thinking, feeling and willing, about which the human being knows, he cannot master the physical-earthly life. If the human being could only think, feel and will, as well as now he is able to do it, he would be never able to develop his body, for example, plastically that the brain matched its dispositions. Formative forces had to intervene there. However, they already belong to that what the soul does no longer perceive in the physical experience what belongs to a more encompassing consciousness than to the segment of consciousness which we have in the everyday life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Jahrhunderts heute noch fürchten, das in ihr Bewußtsein hineinzubekommen, was die Seele in ihren Tiefen hat; nur kann sie von ihren irdischen Seelenkräften aus die Aufmerksamkeit noch nicht darauf verwenden. Jenes Denken ist ja da, in welches hineinreichen die übersinnlichen Kräfte und übersinnlichen Wesenheiten, und dieses Denken öffnet sich auch sogleich, wenn der Mensch durch die Pforte des Todes gegangen ist. Die Materialisten fürchten sich davor, sich zu gestehen, daß das menschliche Bewußtsein also erweitert werden könne, daß wirklich die Schranke zwischen dem physischen und dem geistigen Erleben fallen kann, zwischen dem, was diesseits des Todes und jenseits des Todes liegt. Und weil sie sich fürchten, lehnen sie es ab als phantastisch, träumerhaft, ja sogar als seelenkrank. Aber erkennen wird man, daß der Mensch, wenn er durch die Pforte des Todes geschritten ist, nur die Kräfte entwickelt, die er auch jetzt schon hat zwischen Geburt und Tod. Nur wirken sie in solchen Tiefen, daß er sie selber nicht schaut. Sie bewirken Dinge in ihm, die zwar getan werden in ihm, aber auf die im gewöhnlichen Leben die Aufmerksamkeit nicht gelenkt wird. Mit den Kräften, von denen der Mensch weiß, mit diesen Kräften des Denkens, Fühlens und Wollens allein könnte das physisch-irdische Leben nicht verrichtet werden. Wenn der Mensch nur denken, fühlen und wollen könnte, so wie er es jetzt kann, würde er niemals imstande sein, seinen Leib zum Beispiel plastisch so auszubilden, daß das Gehirn zu seinen Anlagen paßte. Dazu mußten plastisch bildende Kräfte eingreifen. Die gehören aber schon zu dem, was die Seele gar nicht mehr wahrnimmt im physischen Erleben, was einem umfassenderen Bewußtsein angehört als dem Kreisausschnitt des Bewußtseins, den wir im gewöhnlichen Leben haben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":287,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/159/1915-03-07/p029"}],"english":["GA 159/1915-03-07/p035"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":287,"en_words":286,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9799,"original_word_count":9873,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"UNK2013","book_title":"The Mystery of Death","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA159/English/UNK2013/19150307p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
