Take the lung organism, the liver organism, and so forth. Looking at them within, you reach a point when you survey, as it were, the surface of the several organs, naturally by means of spiritual sight. What exactly is this surface of the organs? It is nothing less than a reflecting apparatus for the soul life. Our perceptions, and also what we elaborate in thought are reflected upon the surface of all our inner organs; and this reflection makes known our recollections, our memory during life. Thus, after we have perceived and digested something in thought, it is mirrored upon the surface of our heart, liver, spleen, and so forth, and what is thus thrown back constitutes our memories. And with a not very extensive training you may notice how certain thoughts shine back in memory from the whole organism. Very different organs take part in this. If it is a question of remembering, let us say, very abstract conceptions, then the lung surface participates strongly. If it is a question of thoughts colored by feeling, of thoughts which have a nuance of feeling, then the surface of the liver is concerned. Thus we can describe very well, and in detail, how the various organs take part in this reflection which makes its appearance as recollection, as the power of memory.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Nehmen Sie die Lungenorganisation, Leberorganisation und so weiter, Sie kommen dazu, nach dem Inneren schauend, gewissermaßen die Oberfläche der einzelnen Organe zu überblicken, natürlich durch geistigen Blick nach innen. Was ist diese Oberfläche der Organe? Diese Oberfläche der Organe ist nämlich nichts anderes als ein Spiegelungsapparat für das seelische Leben. Was wir wahrnehmen und auch was wir gedanklich verarbeiten, das spiegelt sich an der Oberfläche unserer sämtlichen inneren Organe, und diese Spiegelung bedeutet unsere Erinnerungen, unser Gedächtnis während des Lebens. Also was sich da, nachdem wir es wahrgenommen und verarbeitet haben, an der Außenfläche unseres Herzens, unserer Lunge, unserer Milz und so weiter spiegelt, was da zurückgeworfen wird, das ist dasjenige, was die Erinnerungen abgibt. Und bei einer gar nicht sehr weitgehenden Trainierung können Sie schon bemerken, wie gewisse Gedanken auf den ganzen Organismus zurückstrahlen in der Erinnerung. Da sind die verschiedensten Organe beteiligt. Wenn es sich zum Beispiel handelt um die Erinnerung, sagen wir sehr abstrakter Gedanken, da ist außerordentlich stark beteiligt daran die Lunge, die Lungenoberfläche. Wenn es sich mehr um gefühlsgefärbte Gedanken handelt, um Gedanken also, die eine Gefühlsnuance haben, da ist sehr stark die Leberoberfläche daran beteiligt. So daß wir wirklich im einzelnen gut beschreiben können, wie die einzelnen Organe des Menschen beteiligt sind an dieser Rückstrahlung, die dann als Gedächtnis, als Erinnerungsvermögen auftritt. Wir dürfen nicht, wenn wir das Seelische ins Auge fassen, sagen: Im Nervensystem allein liegt der Parallelorganismus für das seelische Leben; im ganzen menschlichen Organismus liegt diese Parallelorganisation für das menschliche Seelenleben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":267,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/205/1921-07-02/p007"}],"english":["GA 205/1921-07-02/p010","GA 205/1921-07-02/p011"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":267,"en_words":279,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6018,"original_word_count":6058,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"May Laird-Brown","identified_edition":"AP1946","book_title":"Psychoanalysis in the Light of Anthroposophy","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/Psych/English/AP1946/19210702p02.html","evidence":"lecture_list_row","note":"rsarchive's lecture list spells the credit 'Mary Laird-Brown'; the lecture pages of this edition print 'May Laird-Brown', which is served.","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
