If it is intended to make Spiritual Science into life’s content, into a life-force, you must be more serious than curious, and you must not stop at such abstractions as I have just described. That we are living in the period of the Consciousness-Soul, that the development of the Consciousness-Soul is counted upon, is quite correct and extraordinarily important too, but we must not stop at that.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"What Does the Angel Do in Our Astral Body?","site_heading":null,"date":"1918-10-09","location":null,"word_count":107,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/182/1918-10-09_02/p011","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":null,"publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA182/English/Singles/19181009p02.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.

Jahrhundert der christlichen Zeitrechnung herein, da rechnen wir mit dem sogenannten Kulturzeitalter der Verstandes- oder Gemütsseele, und seit dem 15. Jahrhundert rechnen wir mit dem Kulturzeitalter der Bewußtseinsseele. Damit haben wir ein Wesentliches charakterisiert in der Entwickelung der Menschheit, gerade insofern es unsere Zeit betrifft. Wir wissen dadurch, daß die hauptsächlichste Kraft, auf welche gerechnet wird in der Menschheitsentwickelung vom 15. Jahrhundert bis in das 4. Jahrtausend hinein, bis zu dem Anfang des 4. Jahrtausends, die Bewußtseinsseele ist. Aber man darf in der Geisteswissenschaft, in der wirklichen Geisteswissenschaft nirgends bei Allgemeinheiten und Abstraktionen stehenbleiben; man muß überall sehen, konkrete Tatsachen zu erfassen. Die Abstraktionen nützen einem höchstens, wenn man neugierig ist in einem sehr gewöhnlichen Sinne. Will man Geisteswissenschaft zum Lebensinhalt, zur Lebenskraft machen, so muß man ernster sein als neugierig, so muß man nicht bei solchen Abstraktionen stehenbleiben, wie ich sie eben ausgesprochen habe.
