If we take, to begin with, what today is offered us by philosophy, we shall admit that at the basis of man, too, there lies an invisible spirit. We now ask: Is it possible to know anything about this spirit? Most certainly it is. Just as man can acquire knowledge about the world outside through sense perception and the thoughts connected with the brain, this knowledge can go further; for in the spirit there lives Imagination—what has been described as Imaginative knowledge. We should then be able to see that it is not only in the hen’s egg that there lies an invisible spirit, but that in man is hidden an etheric body which, given the possibility (this is also mentioned in our writings), frees itself from the physical body and develops Imaginative knowledge—knowledge that works, in the world in Imaginations, standing before the soul in fluctuating Imaginations.","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.

Nehmen wir zunächst diese philosophischen Darbietungen der Gegenwart, so werden wir zugeben, es liegt auch dem Menschen ein unsichtbares Gespenst zugrunde. Wir fragen uns nun: Können wir über dieses unsichtbare Gespenst etwas wissen? — Jawohl; so wie der Mensch durch die sinnlichen Wahrnehmungen und durch die Gedanken, die an das Gehirn gebunden sind, Erkenntnisse über die äußere Welt erwirbt, erweitert auch dieses Wissen sich: denn in dem Gespenste leben die Imaginationen, lebt dasjenige, was wir beschrieben haben als imaginative Erkenntnis. Wir würden sehen können: nicht nur dem Hühnerei liegt ein unsichtbares Gespenst zugrunde, sondern im Menschen steckt der ätherische Leib darinnen, der, wenn ihm die Möglichkeit gegeben wird - es ist dies in unseren Schriften schon ausgesprochen -, sich vom physischen Leibe frei macht und eine imaginative Erkenntnis entwickelt, eine Erkenntnis, die in Imaginationen in der Welt arbeitet, die in bewegten Imaginationen vor der Seele steht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":169,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/161/1915-05-01/p014"}],"english":["GA 161/1915-05-01/p014"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":169,"en_words":170,"ratio":1.01,"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.
