This absorbing of the outside world can be likened to the swing of the pendulum in one direction. When we have sufficiently absorbed the world outside then by reason of the satiety this causes there develops the satisfaction formerly provided by the outside world—and we go to sleep. When we have exhausted this enjoyment of ourselves we are able to wake up again. It is a swinging to and fro, a periodicity, which takes its regular course in the same way as in ordinary mechanics. Lucifer and Ahriman can, however, lift a man out of the whole course of nature. Thus the man who goes to a lecture or concert from sheer courtesy and not because he wants to listen, can be lifted out of himself so that he loses all interest. He withdraws from himself, feeds on himself, finding this more interesting than what is going on around him.","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.

Dieses Aufnehmen der äußeren Welt war so, wie das Pendel nach der einen Seite ausschlägt. Wenn wir das, was äußere Welt ist, genügend aufgenommen haben, dann entwickelt sich durch die Übersättigung, durch das Genughaben von der äußeren Welt, das normale Bedürfnis, auch uns selber wieder zu genießen, von uns selber den Genuß zu haben, den wir sonst in der äußeren Welt haben: wir schlafen ein. Und haben wir mit diesem Genuß genügend uns aus uns herausgepreßt, dann können wir auch wieder aufwachen. Es ist ein Hin- und Herschlagen, eine Periodizität, die, wie draußen im Mechanismus, regelmäßig ablaufen wird. Aber den Menschen kann Luzifer und Ahriman wirklich herausheben aus dem ganzen Naturlaufe. So kann der Mensch, wenn er zu einem Vortrage oder zu einem Konzerte aus Courtoisie gegangen ist, nicht weil er zuhören will, herausgehen und kann sein Interesse ablenken. Er geht heraus und genießt sich, weil er sich interessanter findet als dasjenige, was äußerlich um ihn herum abläuft.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":177,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/161/1915-05-01/p021"}],"english":["GA 161/1915-05-01/p021"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":177,"en_words":172,"ratio":0.97,"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.
