This is the first question we must ask ourselves. We are outside our physical and etheric bodies with our ego and our astral body. A simple consideration, which one cannot escape from if one simply devotes oneself to life without prejudice, must tell us: in that which appears to us when we direct our senses to the external world, as the sensory veil of the world, as everything that sensory qualities present to us, in that we are when we are outside ourselves. Only then, in ordinary life, does consciousness fade away. And we feel why consciousness fades when we wake up from this state in the morning. We then feel weak in our body, too weak to hold on to what we have experienced from falling asleep to waking up. Our ego and our astral body cannot hold on to what they have experienced by immersing themselves in the physical and etheric bodies. And by then participating in the experiences that are made through the body, what is experienced from falling asleep to waking up is erased for them. And as I said, only when we have ideas that relate to the external world, or when we have moral intuitions, do we experience something like what must appear to us in an immediate contemplation of what we live in between falling asleep and waking up.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Eighth Lecture","site_heading":"Cosmic Thought and Human Consciousness: Beyond Logic","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.

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"}],"english":["GA 205/1921-07-08/p013"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":231,"en_words":230,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5560,"original_word_count":5315,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Humanity, World Soul and World Spirit I","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA205/English/SOL2024/19210708p01.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.
