First, you have seen from the discussion what a tremendous distinction there is between East and West in the evolution of humanity. Second, I ask you to consider the following. You see, the psychoanalyst speaks about the subconscious, about the subconscious life of the soul, and so on. It is not so important to speak about such an indefinite concept of these things, but it is necessary to grasp what is truly beyond the threshold of consciousness. What is there? Much is certainly to be found down there under the threshold of consciousness. For itself, however, what lies down there is extremely conscious. One must come to understand what kind of conscious spirituality exists beyond the threshold of consciousness. One must speak of conscious spirituality beyond the threshold of consciousness, not unconscious spirituality. We must become clear that man has much about which he knows nothing in his ordinary consciousness. It would put the human being in a terrible position if he had to know in his ordinary consciousness all that goes on within him. Just consider how he would be able to go about eating and drinking if he were to acquaint himself exactly with all the physiological and biological processes that take place from the ingesting of food onward, and so on. All this takes place in the unconscious. There are spiritual forces at work everywhere, even in the purely physiological. Man cannot wait with eating and drinking, however, until he has learned what is really going on within him. So much goes on within man! For man, a large portion, by far the largest portion, of his being is unconscious, or to say it better, subconscious.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10.

Erstens haben Sie aus der Auseinandersetzung gesehen, welch gewaltiger Unterschied zwischen Westen und Osten in der Menschheitsentwickelung ist. Zweitens bitte ich Sie, noch das Folgende zu berücksichtigen. Sehen Sie, der Psychoanalytiker redet vom Unterbewußten, vom unterbewußten Seelenleben und so weiter. Ja, darauf kommt es nicht an, mit einem solchen unbestimmten Begriff von den Dingen zu reden, sondern darauf kommt es an, zu erfassen: Was ist denn da nun eigentlich jenseits der Schwelle des Bewußtseins? Was gibt es denn da? Es ist gewiß sehr vieles da unten unter der Schwelle des Bewußtseins. Für sich ist es aber sehr bewußt, was da drunten ist. Aber man muß darauf kommen, was da für bewußte Geistigkeit jenseits der Schwelle des Bewußtseins ist. Man muß von bewußter Geistigkeit jenseits der Schwelle des Bewußtseins reden, nicht von unbewußtem Geistigen. Ja, da muß man sich klar sein darüber, daß der Mensch vieles hat, wovon er nichts weiß im gewöhnlichen Bewußtsein. Es wäre auch schlimm um den Menschen bestellt, wenn er im gewöhnlichen Bewußtsein von allem wissen müßte, was in ihm vorgeht. Denken Sie sich, wie er sich eigentlich sein Essen und Trinken einrichten müßte, wenn er genau die Vorgänge kennenzulernen hätte, physiologisch und biologisch, die sich abspielen vom Aufnehmen einer Speise an und so weiter! Das vollzieht sich alles im Unbewußten; dabei sind überall geistige Kräfte wirksam, auch bei diesem nur rein Physiologischen. Aber der Mensch kann nicht warten mit dem Essen und Trinken, nicht wahr, bis er gelernt hat, was da in ihm eigentlich vorgeht. So geht vieles in dem Menschen vor. Es ist für den Menschen schon ein großer Teil, ja der weitaus größte Teil seines Wesens unbewußt, besser gesagt, unterbewußt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":286,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/178/1917-11-18/p040"}],"english":["GA 178/1917-11-18/p040"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":286,"en_words":290,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7784,"original_word_count":7738,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Gilbert Church and Alice Wulsin","identified_edition":null,"book_title":"The Reappearance of Christ in the Etheric","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/ReapChrist/19171118p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 178/1917-11-18/p040"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
