I should like to give this sketch in such a way that it can be said: we are looking at the profile of man as a soul being. So that we understand ourselves just as if we were to look at the physical man—not the soul-being (see Head in diagram 1)—not perhaps seeing him full-face but, let us say, from the right in profile. Let us observe him thus. If we try to sketch in outline anything like this we must naturally always keep in mind that we have to do with imaginative knowledge, that the reality behind the matter therefore is being given in picture form. The picture refers to the matter and is given, too, in such a way that it correctly indicates the matter. Naturally, however, we may not have the same idea of a drawing, a sketch, meant to represent something of a soul and spirit nature as we do of anything that in a naturalistic way is copied from an external perceptible reality. One must be conscious all the time of what I am now saying. I shall therefore omit all that concerns the physical and lower etheric organism of man and try to sketch only what is soul—soul-and-spirit (see diagram 2). As you know from the various descriptions that have been given, the soul-and-spirit stands in a more direct connection with the world of soul-and-spirit than physical man stands in connection with his physical environment. Towards his physical perceptible environment physical man is rather an isolated being; one might even say that physical man of the senses is really shut up within his actual skin.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"The Soul's Dual Boundaries: Memory and Love","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Ich möchte diese Skizze so halten, daß man etwa sagen kann: Wir sehen uns den Menschen als Seelenwesen an im Profil. Also, damit wir uns verstehen: Wie wenn wir uns den physischen Menschen - nicht das Seelenwesen — so ansehen würden, daß wir ihn etwa nicht en face, sondern im Profil haben würden, meinetwillen nach rechts hinüberschauend. Betrachten wir ihn einmal so. Natürlich müssen wir, wenn wir versuchen, so etwas skizzenhaft zu entwerfen, uns immer klar darüber sein, daß wir es mit imaginativer Erkenntnis zu tun haben, daß also das Wirkliche, das hinter einer solchen Sache steht, durch ein Bild wiedergegeben ist. Das Bild deutet auf die Sache hin, und man macht ja auch das Bild so, daß es in richtiger Art auf die Sache hindeutet. Aber natürlich darf man sich eine Zeichnung, eine Skizze, welche darstellen soll ein Seelisch-Geistiges, nicht so denken, wie man sich irgend etwas vorstellt, das in naturalistischer Art eine äußere sinnenfällige Wirklichkeit kopiert. Dessen, was ich jetzt sage, muß man sich schon fortwährend bewußt sein. Ich werde also alles, was den physischen und den niederen ätherischen Organismus des Menschen betrifft, fortlassen, werde nur das Seelische, das Seelisch-Geistige zu skizzieren versuchen (siehe Zeichnung).","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":226,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/183/1918-08-18/p003"}],"english":["GA 183/1918-08-18/p003"],"method":"length+anchor_constrained","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":226,"en_words":300,"ratio":1.33,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4108,"original_word_count":4016,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"LRZ253","book_title":"Occult Psychology","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA183/English/LRZ253/19180818p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
