And one of the ways – of course not all of them can be listed now – is to seek the spiritual where it is effective, for example in children, where it is to develop. And that is where education must be enriched. Education will only come to fruition when people develop a sense, a feeling for the spiritual, so that the teacher not only teaches according to all kinds of instructions, but above all starts from observing the developing individuality, seeing what wants to develop out of it. This must be achieved, or rather, must be achieved! And it is good if we remind ourselves, so that we can believe in this struggle, that people in the present are actually terribly short-sighted. They believe that we have come a long way in our time, that we have finally cast off all the childishness of earlier centuries. But it is not true that we have cast off prejudices. All that had to be discarded in order to see the physical plane clearly and to gain freedom was the old atavistic clairvoyance, and that was discarded in its last vestiges not so long ago. The day before yesterday I was able to speak to our dear friends in Hamburg about a special example of this clairvoyance. If you had the opportunity to walk around here, you might be able to find such an example. But I will tell you the Hamburg example; perhaps you can look for a similar one for Kassel yourself.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"II.

Und einer der Wege - es können natürlich jetzt nicht alle aufgeführt werden - ist der, daß man das Geistige sucht da, wo es wirkt, zum Beispiel in den Kindern, wo es sich eben entwickeln soll. Und da muß die Pädagogik befruchtet werden. Die Pädagogik wird nur auf einen grünen Zweig kommen, wenn die Menschen dahin gelangen, eine Empfindung, ein Gefühl für das Geistige zu entwickeln, so daß der Lehrer nicht nur nach allerlei Anleitungen Pädagogik treibt, sondern vor allen Dingen davon ausgeht, die werdende Individualität zu beobachten, zu sehen, was sich aus ihr herausentwickeln will. Das muß errungen werden, richtigerrungen werden! Und es ist gut, wenn wir uns, damit wir an dieses Erringen glauben können, aufmerksam machen darauf, daß der Mensch in der Gegenwart eigentlich furchtbar kurzsichtig ist. Er glaubt, daß man es herrlich weit gebracht habe in unserer Zeit, daß man endlich alle die Kindereien früherer Jahrhunderte abgestreift hat. Es ist aber nicht wahr, daß man Vorurteile abgestreift hat. Man hat nur abstreifen müssen - um den physischen Plan deutlich zu sehen und Freiheit zu erlangen - das alte atavistische Hellsehen, und das ist in seinen letzten Ausläufern vor noch nicht so langer Zeit abgestreift worden. Ich konnte vorgestern zu unseren lieben Freunden in Hamburg von einem besonderen Beispiel dieses Hellsehens sprechen. Wenn man Gelegenheit hätte, hier herumzugehen, würde man vielleicht auch ein solches Beispiel finden können. Ich will Ihnen aber das Hamburger Beispiel erzählen; Sie können vielleicht für Kassel ein ähnliches selber suchen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":267,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/168/1916-02-18/p050"}],"english":["GA 168/1916-02-18/p050"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":267,"en_words":274,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10099,"original_word_count":9681,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Connection Between the Living and the Dead","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA168/English/SOL2024/19160218p01.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.
