I will begin with a simple narration of what is found by spiritual investigation. These things can be understood if they are thought over and pondered time and again; through their own power they make themselves comprehensible to the soul. Anyone who does not understand them should realise that he has not thought them through often enough. Such matters must be investigated by means of Spiritual Science, but they can be understood if the soul will ponder them time and again. They will then be confirmed by the facts which meet us in life; if only life is properly studied, they will be substantiated by the facts of life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Dead are with Us","site_heading":null,"date":"1918-02-10","location":null,"word_count":142,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/182/1918-02-10/p003","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"D.

Einsehen, verstehen kann man die Dinge, wenn man sie immer wieder und wiederum von neuem durchdenkt; durch ihre eigene Kraft machen sie sich in der Seele verständlich. Und derjenige, der sie nicht versteht, der sollte eigentlich zunächst überzeugt sein davon, daß er sie noch nicht oft genug in seiner Seele durchdacht hat. Erforscht werden müssen sie durch Geisteswissenschaft, verstanden werden sie, wenn man sie oft und oft wiederum in der Seele durchnimmt.
