Dessoir takes the opportunity to combine objective untruth with calumny in his remark regarding the little pamphlet *Spiritual Guidance of Man*. He feels it to be especially irritating that I have indicated important *subconscious action of spiritual impulses* by showing that a child while building its brain manifests greater wisdom than it is conscious of later. A healthy science ought to take its starting point from such normal effects of the subconscious, yet it needs something in addition. If you take up the book *Knowledge of the Higher Worlds* you will find mention of the *Secret of the Threshold*. In the explanation of this “secret” it is stated that in crossing the threshold into the spiritual world a kind of separation takes place, a sort of differentiation of the three fundamental powers of the soul: thinking, feeling, and willing. Remember in the part dealing with the Guardian of the Threshold, the explanation that these three forces, which act together in ordinary consciousness in such a way that they can hardly be separated, become independent of each other. If I sketch them, this narrow middle section (see drawing) is the boundary between the ordinary consciousness and that region in which the soul lives in the spiritual world. Thinking, feeling, and willing must be so drawn as to show *this* as the range of will (red), but bordering upon the realm of feeling (green), and this in turn borders upon the realm of thinking (yellow). But if I were to indicate their direction after crossing the threshold into the spiritual world, I should have to show how thinking (yellow) becomes independent upon the one hand; feeling (green, right) separates itself from thinking, will becomes independent too (red, right), as I sketch it here diagrammatically, so that thinking, feeling, and willing spread out from one another like a fan.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":315,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/178/1917-11-11/p022","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1917-11-11","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 178/1917-11-11/p016","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/178/1917-11-11/p016"}],"bead_confidence":"high","length_check":{"de_words":531,"en_words":460,"ratio":0.87,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

That these three activities, which before passing the threshold border upon each other but work separately, interact in the right way and do not come into confusion is due to the fact that the threshold has, so to speak, a certain breadth in which our ego itself lives. If our ego acts normally, has perfect soul health, then the interaction of thinking, feeling, and willing is so regulated that they do not collide with one another, but mutually influence each other. It is the essential secret of our ego that it holds thinking, feeling, and willing beside each other, so that they can affect each other in the right way, but do not mix in any accidental fashion.

Solange nicht in weitesten Kreisen eine Überzeugung davon Platz greift, wie weit entfernt von echter Forschung und echtem Wirklichkeitssinn dasjenige ist, was heute als wissenschaftliche Literatur — ich sage nicht als Wissenschaft, sondern als wissenschaftliche Literatur - figuriert und oftmals den Inhalt auch von Universitäts- und namentlich populären Vorträgen bildet, solange nicht in weitesten Kreisen dieser Autoritätsglaube durchbrochen wird, so lange kann auch nicht Heil kommen. Diese Dinge muß man sagen, auch wenn man den größten Respekt hat vor naturwissenschaftlicher Denkweise, wenn man gerade die großen Errungenschaften der naturwissenschaftlichen Denkweise immer wieder und wiederum betont. Daß solche Dinge widerspruchsvoll ins Leben eingreifen, damit muß man sich schon bekanntmachen. Nun, nach dieser Abschweifung möchte ich zum 'Thema zurückkehren. Besonders gravierend findet nämlich Dessoir bei einer Gelegenheit, bei der er sich noch eine Kombination von objektiver Unwahrheit und Verleumdung gestattet, daß ich in dem Büchelchen «Die geistige Führung des Menschen und der Menschheit» auf ein wichtiges, unterbewußtes Wirken geistiger Impulse hingewiesen habe, indem ich gezeigt habe, daß in dem Kinde, das sich sein Gehirn aufbaut, eine gescheitere Weisheit wirkt als diejenige, die später bewußt wird, wenn das Gehirn aufgebaut ist. Sie kennen dieses Kapitel aus der «Geistigen Führung des Menschen und der Menschheit». Bei solchen normalen Wirkungen des Unterbewußten müßte eine gesunde Wissenschaft eigentlich einsetzen. Aber es braucht diese Wissenschaft auch noch etwas anderes. Wenn Sie sich die Schrift vornehmen «Wie erlangt man Erkenntnisse der höheren Welten?», dann finden Sie dort das Geheimnis der Schwelle besprochen. Sie finden dieses Geheimnis der Schwelle so besprochen, daß gezeigt wird, daß nach dem Überschreiten der Schwelle in die geistigen Welten hinein in gewissem Sinne eine Trennung, eine Differenzierung der drei Grundkräfte des Seelenlebens stattfindet: Denken, Fühlen, Wollen. Erinnern Sie sich nur, wie bei der Besprechung des Hüters der Schwelle in der Schrift «Wie erlangt man Erkenntnisse der höheren Welten?» gezeigt ist, wie dasjenige, was im gewöhnlichen Bewußtsein gewissermaßen zusammenwirkt, so daß man es nicht recht trennen kann - Denken, Fühlen, Wollen -, wie das auseinandertritt, jedes selbständig wird, so daß ich sagen kann, wenn ich diese Sache aufzeichnen würde: Wenn hier (Zeichnung S. 160) die Grenze ist zwischen dem gewöhnlichen Bewußtsein und jener Region, in der die Seele lebt als in der geistigen Welt drinnen, so müßte ich Denken, Fühlen und Wollen schematisch so aufzeichnen, daß dies das Gebiet des Wollens wäre (rot), das aber unmittelbar angrenzt an das Gebiet des Fühlens (grün), und wiederum dieses angrenzt an das Gebiet des Denkens unmittelbar (gelb). Hätte ich den Weg zu skizzieren in die geistige Welt hinein nach dem Überschreiten der Schwelle, so müßte ich folgendes schematisieren, folgende schematische Zeichnung anführen: ich müßte zeigen, wie das Denken auf der einen Seite selbständig wird (gelb, rechts); das Fühlen selbständig wird (grün, rechts) und sich trennt von dem Denken; das Wollen selbständig wird (rot, rechts), was ich hier schematisch zeichne. So daß sich Denken, Fühlen und Wollen fächerartig auseinandertrennen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":531,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/178/1917-11-11/p016"},{"locus":"GA 178/1917-11-11/p017","passage_number":17,"text":"Das finden Sie mit Worten dargestellt in meinem Buche «Wie erlangt man Erkenntnisse der höheren Welten?». Daß nun vor der Schwelle diese drei Tätigkeiten, die da getrennt wirkend aneinandergrenzen, in der richtigen Weise zusammenwirken, nicht in Verwitrrung kommen, das ist bewirkt dadurch, daß gewissermaßen die Schwelle eine gewisse Breite hat, in der unser Ich selber lebt. Und wenn das Ich gesund wirkt, wenn das Ich seine volle seelische Gesundheit hat, dann wird durcheinanderwirkend Denken, Fühlen und Wollen so gehalten, daß sie nicht ineinanderpurzeln, aber sich doch gegenseitig so beeinflussen, indem sie aneinandergrenzen — das ist das wesentliche Geheimnis unseres Ich —, daß Denken, Fühlen, Wollen nebeneinandergehalten werden; so daß sie sich gegenseitig beeinflussen in der richtigen Weise, aber nicht das eine in das andere hineinpurzeln kann. Kommen wir über die Schwelle in die geistige Welt, so können sie nicht ineinander hineinpurzeln, weil sie sich sogar trennen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":146,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/178/1917-11-11/p017"},{"locus":"GA 178/1917-11-11/p018","passage_number":18,"text":"Solch ein Philosoph, wie zum Beispiel Wundt ist, solche Philosophen reden davon, daß man die Seele nicht dreigliedern soll, weil die Seele eine Einheit ist.

Das ist das, worauf man Rücksicht nehmen muß. Und wenn gesagt wird, was vor kürzerer oder längerer Zeit auch einmal gesagt worden sein soll, die Anthroposophie unterscheide eigentlich drei Seelen und es gäbe doch nur eine Seele, daran sehe man schon, daß Anthroposophie keine Begründung habe - so muß man dagegen einwenden: es stört auch nicht die Einheit des Menschen, daß er zwei Hände hat, selbstverständlich.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":127,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/178/1917-11-11/p018"},{"locus":"GA 178/1917-11-11/p019","passage_number":19,"text":"Nun aber haben wir hier (siehe Zeichnung Mitte und rechte Seite) das Verhältnis der Seelenkräfte, die im Ich wirken, mit dem Ich zusammen und ihre Wirkungsweise jenseits der Schwelle des Bewußtseins hinein in die geistige Welt.

Dann wird gewissermaßen die Schwelle nach der umgekehrten Seite überschritten, dann schwenkt das Denken ab (siehe Zeichnung, gelb, links) und vermischt sich mit dem Fühlen (grün, links) und vermischt sich mit dem Wollen (rot, links) und Sie haben im Seelischen durcheinander Denken, Fühlen und Wollen; die purzeln ineinander. Das aber tritt dann ein, wenn, sagen wir, das Denken irgendwie der Gefahr ausgesetzt wird, nicht vollständig umfaßt zu werden, sondern sich selbständig geltend macht im Bewußtsein. Und weil das Ich nicht ordentlich wirkt, rutscht das Denken in die Gefühls- oder gar in die Willenssphäre hinein.

Das Fühlen steht wirklich im Zusammenhang mit all den geistigen Wesen, von denen man als real sprechen muß. So daß der Mensch, wenn er mit unzulänglichen Begriffen untertaucht in sein Gefühlsleben, in Kollisionen kommt mit den Göttern — wenn man so sagen will -, aber auch mit den bösen Göttern. Da kommt er in Kollisionen. Und da treten alle diese Kollisionen auf, die davon herkommen, daß der Mensch mit unzulänglichen Erkenntnismitteln untertaucht. Er muß mit unzulänglichen Begriffen untertauchen, wenn in der Gefühlssphäre viel mehr ist, als in der gewöhnlichen Verstandessphäre. In der Gefühlssphäre kann sich der Mensch nicht emanzipieren von seinem Zusammenhang mit der geistigen Welt.
