The world of ideas appears abstract to us, pictorial to us! Where do we use it first? We use it when we think through what affects our senses from the outside world – colors, sounds, warmth and cold. We think through our perceptions. You will find more precise details in my books 'Truth and Science' and 'Philosophy of Freedom'. When we penetrate our perceptions with thinking, we use this world of ideas to imprint it, as it were, on our spiritual and psychological experience, on what we have as a world of perception. But we need to look a little more closely at what is actually happening. And this can be done by directing one's own soul abilities through spiritual scientific methods, as described in my books. One can actually raise the question: What would it be like if our sensory perceptions only penetrated us from the outside, if only what penetrates our eye as color, our ear as sound, our sense of warmth as heat, and so on, from the light, what would happen to us then?","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Thirteenth Lecture","site_heading":"Ideas and Growth Forces: Bridging Prenatal and Posthumous Existence","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.

Die Ideenwelt, abstrakt erscheint sie uns, bildhaft erscheint sie uns! Wo gebrauchen wir sie denn zunächst? Wir gebrauchen sie, wenn wir dasjenige, was von der Außenwelt auf unsere Sinne wirkt — Farben, Töne, Wärme und Kälte -, wenn wir das denkend durchdringen. Wir durchdringen unsere Wahrnehmungen denkend. Sie finden ja das Genauere ausgeführt in meinen Büchern «Wahrheit und Wissenschaft» und in der «Philosophie der Freiheit». Wenn wir die Wahrnehmungen denkend durchdringen, dann gebrauchen wir diese Ideenwelt, um sie gewissermaßen hineinzuprägen in unser geistig-seelisches Erleben, in dasjenige, was wir als Wahrnehmungswelt haben. Aber man muß doch etwas genauer auf das hinsehen, was da eigentlich geschieht. Und das kann man, wenn man durch die geisteswissenschaftlichen Methoden seine eigenen Seelenfähigkeiten zurechtlenkt, so wie das in meinen Büchern verschiedentlich beschrieben ist. Man kann nämlich die Frage aufwerfen: Wie wäre es denn mit den sinnlichen Wahrnehmungen, wenn sie nur von außen auf uns eindringen würden, wenn also nur dasjenige, was gewissermaßen aus dem Licht als Farbe in unser Auge dringt, was als Ton an unser Ohr dringt, was als Wärme in unseren Wärmesinn dringt und so weiter, wenn das nur auf uns einstürmte, was wäre denn dann mit uns?","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":232,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/198/1920-07-10/p008"}],"english":["GA 198/1920-07-10/p008"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":232,"en_words":215,"ratio":0.93,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5786,"original_word_count":5526,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Healing Factors for the Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA198/English/SOL2024/19200710p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
