When we have experiences on the physical plane, something like a homunculus forms in our etheric body and an imprint of it is imprinted in the physical body. It remains, like a doll with a child. You can store it and find it in yourself again and again. This then points to the experience of the past. The experience you have in the spiritual world passes. But you had to do something to bring it about. You had to use the rules that you apply to the soul in the sense of “How to Know Higher Worlds” to put the soul in such a state that the occult experience could occur. You can evoke this state in yourself again and again, so that you can have the experience again and again, but you cannot store it like a memory image. For the physical plane, experiences become memories by preserving after-images, by being remembered. The re-occurrence, the re-memory - if we now use the word “memory” in a figurative sense - of occult experiences can only occur if we create the same conditions through which we experienced the event for the first time.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Third Lecture","site_heading":"Spiritual Knowledge and the Renewal of Inner Experience","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.

Wenn wir Erlebnisse auf dem physischen Plan haben, dann bildet sich etwas wie ein Homunkulus in unserem Ätherleib und ein Abdruck davon prägt sich in den physischen Leib. Der bleibt, wie die Puppe bei dem Kinde. Sie können ihn aufbewahren und in sich immer wieder finden. Das deutet Ihnen dann auf das Erlebnis der Vergangenheit hin. Das Erlebnis, das Sie in der geistigen Welt haben, geht vorüber. Aber Sie mußten etwas tun, um es herbeizuführen. Sie mußten durch die Regeln, die Sie auf die Seele anwenden im Sinne von «Wie erlangt man Erkenntnisse der höheren Welten?» die Seele in einen solchen Zustand versetzen, daß das okkulte Erlebnis eintreten konnte. Diesen Zustand in sich selbst können Sie immer wieder hervorrufen, so daß Sie immer wieder das Erlebnis haben können, aber aufbewahren wie ein Gedächtnisbild können Sie es nicht. Für den physischen Plan werden die Erlebnisse Erinnerungen dadurch, daß man Nachbilder bewahrt, gedächtnismäßig. Das Wiedereintreten, die Wiedererinnerung - wenn wir jetzt im übertragenen Sinne das Wort «Erinnerung» gebrauchen - okkulter Erlebnisse kann nur dadurch eintreten, daß wir dieselben Bedingungen herstellen, durch die wir das Ereignis das erste Mal erlebt haben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":229,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/162/1915-05-29/p020"}],"english":["GA 162/1915-05-29/p020"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":229,"en_words":229,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6645,"original_word_count":6608,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Artistic and Existential Questions in the Light of Spiritual Science","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA162/English/SOL2024/19150529p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
