We no longer have any; and I have pointed out—only recently in public lectures in Basel[^1] and in other places—why we have lost the science of the soul. The science of the spirit became uncomfortable to the Catholic Church as early as the 9th century; and, as I have frequently explained, the spirit was abolished at the Eighth General Ecumenical Council at Constantinople in 869. At that time the dogma was announced that, if a man is a true Christian, he must not think that he consists of body, soul, and spirit, but only of body and soul, and that the soul has spiritual qualities. Psychology still teaches that today, and believes that such teaching represents the point of view of unprejudiced science; but it is only repeating the dogma of 869. Even all that refers to the soul was monopolized by the confessional churches in the form of belief, in the form of creed or dogma. All knowledge pertaining to the soul that should come from man himself was monopolized by the denominational societies; and only external nature was left as the object of real knowledge, of *free* knowledge. No wonder we have today no science of the soul, for secular scholarship has devoted itself entirely to the science of nature, since the science of the soul was monopolized and the science of the spirit abolished. So we have no science of the soul. If we build upon the science that is the fashion today, we can make no progress; for if we build upon the word-psychology of our time (it really is not much more than that), we cannot come to a real understanding of what takes place in the soul. You know from my statement in *Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment* that upon crossing over the threshold to the spiritual world, thinking, feeling, and willing become separated in the consciousness. In the ordinary present-day consciousness thinking, feeling, and willing form a sort of chaos; they are intermingled. At the moment when the threshold to the spiritual world is crossed, at the moment when one sets about acquiring the science of initiation through experience, thinking, feeling, and willing become independent powers in the consciousness. They become independent, and then one learns to know them.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":388,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/194/1919-12-14/p019","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1919-12-14","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 194/1919-12-14/p021","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/194/1919-12-14/p021"}],"bead_confidence":"high","length_check":{"de_words":397,"en_words":388,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Wir haben sie nicht mehr. Und ich habe ja auch in öffentlichen Vorträgen, neulich erst wieder in Basel und an anderen Orten, hingewiesen darauf, warum wir die Wissenschaft von der Seele verloren haben. Die Wissenschaft vom Geiste ist ja zum Beispiel der katholischen Kirche schon im 9. Jahrhundert unbehaglich geworden; ich habe das öfter erwähnt. Deshalb ist der Geist, wie ich ja auch schon oft auseinandergesetzt habe, auf dem achten allgemeinen ökumenischen Konzil zu Konstantinopel, 869, abgeschafft worden. Damals wurde das Dogma gegeben, der Mensch dürfe nicht denken, wenn er rechter Christ ist, daß er bestünde aus Leib, Seele und Geist, sondern nur aus Leib und Seele, und daß die Seele geistige Eigenschaften habe. Heute lehrt das noch die Psychologie, glaubt es aus unbefangener Wissenschaft heraus zu lehren, spricht aber nur das Dogma von 869 nach. Aber auch in bezug auf alles dasjenige, was auf die Seele hinweisen soll, wurde monopolisiert in Form des Glaubens, in Form des Bekenntnisses, in Form des Dogmas durch die Bekenntniskirchen. Alles das, was vom Menschen heraus Erkenntnis des Seelischen sein soll, es wurde von den Bekenntnisgemeinschaften monopolisiert. Und der eigentlichen Erkenntnis, der freien Erkenntnis wurde nur die äußere Natur überlassen. Kein Wunder, daß wir heute keine Seelenwissenschaft haben. Denn die weltliche Gelehrsamkeit hat sich eben nur der Wissenschaft der Natur hingegeben, da die Wissenschaft von der Seele monopolisiert und die Wissenschaft vom Geiste abgeschafft war. Wir haben keine Wissenschaft der Seele. Wir können, wenn wir auf dem fußen, was heute tonangebende Wissenschaft ist, nicht weiterkommen. Denn wenn wir auf dem fußen, was heute die Wortpsychologie ist — viel mehr ist sie ja nicht —, da können wir nicht zu einem wirklichen Verständnisse desjenigen kommen, was in der Seele waltet. Sie wissen ja aus meiner Darstellung, die ich gegeben habe in «Wie erlangt man Erkenntnisse der höheren Welten?», daß beim Überschreiten der Schwelle zur geistigen Welt im Bewußtsein auseinandertreten Denken, Fühlen und Wollen. Im gewöhnlichen heutigen gangbaren Bewußtsein bilden Denken, Fühlen und Wollen eine Art von Chaos; sie sind ineinandergeschichtet. In dem Augenblicke, wo die Schwelle zur geistigen Welt überschritten wird, in dem Augenblicke, wo man sich nur anschicken will, erfahrungsgemäß die Initiationswissenschaft zu gewinnen, werden im Bewußtsein Denken, Fühlen, Wollen selbständige Mächte. Sie werden selbständig. Da lernt man sie kennen, da lernt man in Wirklichkeit erst unterscheiden Denken vom Fühlen und vom Wollen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":397,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/194/1919-12-14/p021"},{"locus":"GA 194/1919-12-14/p022","passage_number":22,"text":"Namentlich lernt man unterscheiden das Denken vom Wollen.
