But what we bring with us when we wake up and what then determines us throughout the day while we are awake is the will, that is, emerging from this nocturnal, or let us say, during our sleep, our element-forming thought-sea of the cosmos. We emerge with the will, which, as I have characterized it, introduces logic into our inner soul life.

They must be able to remember in some way. That is, in a sense, the first thing that the will, which has made an impact, does with our thoughts. It organizes them in such a way that we carry the right memory image within us. We can therefore say: we have, as it were, the chaotic web of thoughts swirling up out of our organism (see drawing, red). It is something that is particularly strong in dreamy natures, who are often not satisfied with indulging in the normal memories of life, who take pleasure and delight when thoughts come together and separate again after allusions and similarities. Dreamy natures are overwhelmed by this chaotic web of thoughts. But even a person who is well aware of himself will always notice, if he lets himself go just a little during waking life, I would say, that this confusion of thoughts is present in the main, underlying current.

What I have drawn schematically on the board here is basically what we leave in bed when we fall asleep and what we encounter again in the morning. We allow our will to be woven into it. I will characterize this will that is woven into it through these lines here (see drawing, arrows from above). So the first thing that the will has to do is to reshape this chaotic web of thoughts into our normal memory. We can therefore say that, initially, this will that is woven into it shapes the web of thoughts into normal memory. One might say: the etheric body, the physical body, that is what we encounter in the morning, is still very powerful in our memory. These thoughts are reflected back to us. But it is the will that strikes and really has something to do by striking. You can see that. Just try to remember how, when you wake up in the morning, everything swirls up like currents from the soul like an event you experienced at the age of five, at the age of seven, again at the age of six year, again in the fifteenth year, in the sixty-fifth year for all I care, then in the twenty-first, seventeenth year, again in the eighth year, how it all swirls and tumbles in a colorful mess. The will has to strike into this. Then, in a sense, it organizes it all again so that it is a proper memory, so that an event that took place in the ninth year does not get mixed up with what happened in the eighth year and the like. So the will strikes into it, and it forms memory out of this chaotic web of dreams. In memory, you still notice little of the will. Most people will not want to see the will at all in memory. But it is there, it is just that the impact of the will, in so far as it forms memory, is much more unconscious.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":350,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/205/1921-07-09/p010","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/SOL2024/19210709p01.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.

Aber was wir uns mitbringen beim Aufwachen und was uns dann den ganzen Tag über bestimmt während des Wachens, das ist der Wille, das ist das Heraussteigen aus diesem nächtlichen, oder sagen wir, während unseres Schlafes unser Element bildenden Gedankenmeer des Kosmos. Wir tauchen mit dem Willen auf, der, wie ich Ihnen charakterisiert habe, Logik hineinbringt in unser inneres Seelenleben. Wir merken eventuell noch, indem wir aufwachen, in den Träumen, die sich herandrängen, wie unser Seelenleben wäre, wenn nicht dieser Wille, den wir uns mitbringen beim Aufwachen, logisch hineindringen würde.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":193,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/205/1921-07-09/p007"},{"locus":"GA 205/1921-07-09/p008","passage_number":8,"text":"Dieser Wille schlägt also gewissermaßen ein in das, was da wogt und wirbelt in dem menschlichen Organismus.

So daß wir sagen können: Während wir schlafen, entlöst sich dem organischen Getriebe in uns dieses Gedankengewebe, das ganz übertönt ist von dem logikdurchwobenen Gedankengewebe des wachenden Zustandes vom Aufwachen bis zum Einschlafen.

Wir würden schlecht wegkommen im Leben, wenn die Gedanken so heraufkommen würden, wie sie in diesem träumerischen Chaos sind. Wie müssen denn Gedanken sein, wenn sie im normalen Seelenleben heraufkommen? Sie müssen irgendwie zusammenhängen mit unserem Leben. Sie müssen in irgendeiner Weise sich erinnern können. Das ist gewissermaßen das erste, oder das auf erster Stufe Stehende, was dieser einschlagende Wille mit unseren Gedanken vornimmt. Er ordnet sie so, daß wir das richtige Erinnerungsbild in uns tragen. Wir können also sagen: Wir haben gewissermaßen da, aus unserem Organismus aufwirbelnd, das chaotische Gedankengewebe (siehe Zeichnung, rot). - Es ist das also etwas, was besonders stark ist bei träumerischen Naturen, die ja oftmals gar nicht damit zufrieden sind, sich den normalen Erinnerungen des Lebens hinzugeben, die Freude, Wohlgefallen daran haben, wenn nach allerlei Anklängen und Verwandtschaften die Gedanken sich zusammenfinden, sich wieder voneinander trennen. Die träumerischen Naturen werden von diesem chaotischen Gedankengewebe überwältigt. Aber auch der seiner selbst ordentlich bewußte Mensch wird immer bemerken, wenn er sich nur ein wenig während des Wachens, ich möchte sagen, aus der Hand gibt, daß dieses Durcheinanderwirbeln der Gedanken im Hauptuntergrunde eben als ein Unterstrom vorhanden ist. Der Wille, der da einschlägt beim Aufwachen, er trifft dieses Gedankengewebe.

Was ich Ihnen hier schematisch auf die Tafel gezeichnet habe, das ist im Grunde genommen das, was wir abends im Bette liegen lassen, wenn wir einschlafen, und des Morgens wieder antreffen. Wir lassen unseren Willen da hineinschlagen. Diesen einschlagenden Willen will ich durch diese Linien hier charakterisieren (siehe Zeichnung, Pfeile von oben). Das erste also, was da der Wille zu tun hat, ist, dieses chaotische Gedankengewebe umzugestalten zu unserem normalen Gedächtnis. Wir können also sagen, zunächst gestaltet dieser einschlagende Wille das Gedankengewebe um zu dem normalen Gedächtnis. Man möchte sagen: Da ist das, was wir des Morgens antreffen, Atherleib, physischer Leib, noch sehr mächtig in dem Gedächtnis. Die spiegeln uns diese Gedanken zurück. — Aber es ist doch der Wille, der da einschlägt und der wirklich etwas zu tun hat, indem er da einschlägt. Man kann das schon bemerken. Versuchen Sie nur einmal, ganz ordentlich daraufzukommen, wie, wenn Sie des Morgens aufwachen, alles wie wirbelnde Ströme herauf will aus der Seele wie ein Ereignis, das Sie erlebt haben im fünften, im siebenten Jahre, wiederum im sechsten Jahre, wiederum im fünfzehnten Jahre, meinetwillen im fünfundsechzigsten Jahre, dann im einundzwanzigsten, siebzehnten Jahre, wiederum im achten Jahre, wie das alles bunt durcheinander wirbelt und wurlt. Da hinein hat der Wille zu schlagen. Dann gliedert er gewissermaßen das alles wiederum so, daß es ein ordnungsmäßiges Gedächtnis ist, daß Ihnen ein Ereignis, das im neunten Jahre sich abgespielt hat, sich nicht vorne hinwurlt vor das, was sich im achten Jahre abgespielt hat und dergleichen. Da schlägt also der Wille hinein, und er formt aus diesem chaotischen Traumgewebe das Gedächtnis. Im Gedächtnis merken Sie noch wenig den Willen. Die meisten Menschen werden überhaupt noch nicht im Gedächtnis den Willen erblicken wollen. Aber er ist darinnen, es ist nur dieses Einschlagen des Willens, insofern er das Gedächtnis formt, viel unbewußter.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":315,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/205/1921-07-09/p010"},{"locus":"GA 205/1921-07-09/p011","passage_number":11,"text":"Das zweite ist etwas, an dem der Mensch schon merkt, wie sein Wille drinnen ist.

Das ist das zweite Element. Da merken Sie schon, daß Sie sich mit Ihrer Willkür drinnen bewegen können. Indem das Gedächtnis geformt ist, müssen Sie noch gezwungen werden durch Ihren Organismus, da wirkt physischer Leib, Atherleib stark; in der Phantasie weniger stark, da können Sie sich mit Ihrem Willen darinnen bewegen.

Da, in diesem logischen Denken, ist durchaus unser Wille tätig; aber er begibt sich seiner eigenen Freiheit und unterwirft sich den Gesetzen der Logik.
