If we could clear up the difficulty about the use of the preposition \"in” (dwelt upon by the philosopher); we should come to the point of indicating what spiritual science says, namely, that what is \"within\" consists of etheric body, astral body and ego. Thus, spiritual science does nothing for which there is no ample proof that it is really demanded by all that has to do with present-day though and culture. Spiritual Science however, obviously has to go farther, for it cannot stop short at the vague idea that an invisible spirit is concealed in a hen's egg—especially when this same idea is applied to man. There we have to be clear that what is thus hidden in man is possessed of certain qualities, certain inner factors of reality. Whereas in the case of the hen's egg our conception can be what we might almost call of a ghostly nature—\"an unknown spirit is concealed there\"—if we go on to man we have to recognise that, when living in the physical body, he develops consciousness and does so for the very reason that the physical body is such a complicated apparatus. Thereby we sense that what has here been called invisible spirit must be recognised as underlying the visible. Now, if what is external has consciousness we have to take for granted that there is consciousness also in what is within, and that what is within cannot be deemed unconscious.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"Three Kinds of Clairvoyance and Spiritual Consciousness","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.

Und wenn man sich hinweghelfen würde über die Anwendung der Präposition «im» darauf kommt es dem Philosophen ja an -, dann wäre man schon daran, auf etwas hinzuweisen, wovon die Geisteswissenschaft sagt, daß es in dem Ätherleibe, dem Astralleibe und dem Ich besteht. Die Geisteswissenschaft tut also nichts, wovon sich nicht streng nachweisen läßt, daß es wirklich gefordert wird von dem ganzen Gedanken- und Kulturprozesse der Gegenwart. Nur muß selbstverständlich die Geisteswissenschaft etwas weitergehen, denn bei der Ahnung kann es nicht bleiben: im Hühnerei steckt ein unsichtbares Gespenst -, insbesondere, wenn man damit zum Menschen übergeht. Da muß es klar sein, daß dasjenige, was unsichtbar im Menschen darinnen steckt, gewisse Eigenschaften, gewisse innere Wirklichkeitsfaktoren hat. Während man sich beim Hühnerei, ich möchte fast sagen, gespenstisch vorstellen kann: da steckt ein unbekanntes Gespenst darinnen -, muß man, wenn man zum Menschen vorschreitet, sich klar sein, daß der Mensch, wenn er im physischen Leibe wohnt, Bewußtsein entwickelt, dadurch Bewufßtsein entwickelt, daß der physische Leib ein so komplizierter Apparat ist. Dadurch ahnt man, daß das, was man hier unsichtbares Gespenst genannt hat, doch gelten muß als etwas, was dem Sichtbaren zugrunde liegt. Wenn nun das Äußere schon Bewußtsein hat, so muß man doch als selbstverständlich annehmen, daß auch das Innere Bewußtsein hat, daß man es nicht «bewußtlos» glauben kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":254,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/161/1915-05-01/p012"}],"english":["GA 161/1915-05-01/p012"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":254,"en_words":278,"ratio":1.09,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.92,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5676,"original_word_count":6145,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"LRZ140","book_title":"Meditation and Concentration: Three Kinds of Clairvoyance","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA161/English/LRZ140/19150501p02.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
