Diese Frage muß man sich zunächst aufwerfen. Wir sind mit unserem Ich und mit unserem astralischen Leib außerhalb unseres physischen und unseres Ätherleibes. Eine einfache Erwägung, der man gar nicht entkommen kann, wenn man sich nur unbefangen dem Leben hingibt, muß uns sagen: In demjenigen, was uns erscheint, wenn wir die Sinne auf die Außenwelt richten, als der Sinnesschleier der Welt, als alles das, was Sinnesqualitäten uns darbieten, in dem sind wir, wenn wir außerhalb unser sind. Nur erlischt dann eben für das gewöhnliche Leben das Bewußtsein. Und wir fühlen, warum da das Bewußtsein erlischt, wenn wir eben des Morgens aus diesem Zustande aufwachen. Wir fühlen uns in unserem Leibe dann schwach, zu schwach, um darinnen festzuhalten, was wir erlebt haben vom Einschlafen bis zum Aufwachen. Es können unser Ich und unser astralischer Leib, indem sie in den physischen und in den Ätherleib untertauchen, nicht festhalten dasjenige, was sie da erlebt haben. Und indem sie dann teilnehmen an den Erlebnissen, die durch den Leib gemacht werden, löscht sich für sie aus, was vom Einschlafen bis zum Aufwachen erlebt wird. Und wie gesagt, nur wenn wir Einfälle haben, die sich auf die äußere Welt beziehen, oder auch wenn wir sittliche Intuitionen haben, dann erleben wir so etwas wie das, was uns bei einer unmittelbaren Betrachtung erscheinen muß als dasjenige, worin wir leben zwischen dem Einschlafen und Aufwachen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":231,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/205/1921-07-08/p013"},{"locus":"GA 205/1921-07-08/p014","passage_number":14,"text":"Wenn wir die Sache so ansehen, dann bekommen wir einen sehr deutlichen Gegensatz zwischen unserem Inneren und der äußeren Welt. Dann wirft uns das auch in gewissem Sinne ein Licht auf die Aussage, die wir oftmals machen, daß die äußere Welt, so wie sie sich uns vom Aufwachen bis zum Einschlafen darbietet, eine Art Täuschung, eine Art Maja ist. Denn in dieser Welt, die da ihre Außenseite uns zeigt, stecken wir darinnen, wenn wir nicht in unserem Leibe, sondern wenn wir außerhalb unseres Leibes sind. Dann tauchen wir unter in die Welt, die wir sonst nur durch unsere Sinnesoffenbarung wahrnehmen. So daß wir uns sagen müssen: Diese Welt, die wir da durch unsere Sinnesoffenbarung wahrnehmen, die hat Untergründe, Untergründe, die eigentlich ihre Ursachen, ihre Wesenheiten enthalten.

Wenn ich das gewöhnliche Gedankenleben darstellen will, so geschieht es dadurch, daß ich es umfassen lasse all das, was der Mensch innerlich-gedanklich durchlebt vom Aufwachen bis zum Einschlafen in Anlehnung an die äußeren Wahrnehmungen oder auch in Anlehnung an seine physischen Schmerzen, physischen Lustgefühle und so weiter. Was also im gewöhnlichen Bewußtsein da gedanklich erlebt wird, das möchte ich zunächst schematisch etwa so darstellen (siehe Zeichnung, weiß). Unter diesem also, wie ein wachendes Träumen, webt und lebt, nicht den Gesetzen der Logik unterworfen, dasjenige, was ich zuerst dargestellt habe (rot unten). Dagegen, wenn wir zwischen dem Einschlafen und Aufwachen in die Außenwelt übergehen, leben wir, wie wir in Reminiszenz nach dem Aufwachen wahrnehmen können, wiederum in einer Welt des Gedankens, aber der Gedanken, die uns aufnehmen, die nicht in uns sind, aus denen wir herauskommen beim Aufwachen (rot außen). So daß wir gewissermaßen durch unser gewöhnliches Denken zwei Gedankenwelten voneinander geschieden haben: eine innere Gedankenwelt und eine äußere Gedankenwelt, eine Gedankenwelt, die den Kosmos, der uns aufnimmt beim Einschlafen, erfüllt. Wir können die letztere Gedankenwelt eben die kosmische Gedankenwelt nennen. Die erstere ist irgendeine Gedankenwelt; wir wollen noch näher auf sie eingehen im Laufe dieser Tage.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":236,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/205/1921-07-08/p015"},{"locus":"GA 205/1921-07-08/p016","passage_number":16,"text":"So sehen wir uns gewissermaßen mit unserer gewöhnlichen Gedankenwelt hineingestellt in eine allgemeine Gedankenwelt, welche wie durch eine Grenze auseinandergehalten wird, und von der ein Teil in uns, ein Teil außer uns ist.

Es ruht immer auf dem Grund unserer Seele ein chaotisches Gedankengewebe, wir können sagen, etwas, was nicht von Logik durchzogen ist. Aber diese äußere Gedankenwelt, ja, wahrnehmen kann sie ja allerdings das gewöhnliche Bewußtsein nicht. Also aus unmittelbarem Anschauen, aus unmittelbarem Erleben kann die Natur dieser äußeren Gedankenwelt nur enthüllen das wirkliche geistige Schauen, das dann schon tiefer in die Regionen eintritt, die in «Wie erlangt man Erkenntnisse der höheren Welten?» beschrieben werden. Aber dann stellt sich auch heraus: Diese Gedankenwelt, in die wir da eintauchen zwischen dem Einschlafen und Aufwachen, das ist eine Gedankenwelt, die nicht nur so logisch ist, wie unsere gewöhnliche Gedankenwelt logisch ist, sondern die eine viel höhere Logik enthält. Wenn man den Ausdruck nicht mißverstehen will, so möchte ich diese Gedankenwelt eine überlogische Gedankenwelt nennen. Sie ist, ich möchte sagen, ebensoweit über der gewöhnlichen Logik gelegen, wie unsere träumerische Welt, unsere wachende träumerische Welt unter der Logik gelegen ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":203,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/205/1921-07-08/p016"}],"beads":[{"from":[9],"to":[9],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[10],"to":[10],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[11],"to":[11],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[12],"to":[12],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[13],"to":[13],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[14],"to":[14],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[15],"to":[15],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[16],"to":[16],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
