In the life of soul, we see what is taking its course in time, something always becoming, never at rest. The soul-life shows itself indeed to be a process perceptible only inwardly, a process of soul and spirit, yet clearly visible. This process in the life of soul, which is there for ordinary consciousness when a man's inner being is viewed without prejudice, this state of becoming in the soul-life, has very little resemblance to the life of the body at rest. It is true that the life of the body also shows movement; breathing is a movement, circulation is a movement. In relation to how a man appears to Imaginative cognition, however, I would describe this as merely a stage on the way to movement. Compared with the delicate, subtle movements of the human physical body revealed to Imaginative cognition, the circulation of the blood, the breathing, and other bodily motions seem relatively static.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Imaginative Cognition and Inspired Cognition","site_heading":null,"date":"1921-12-23","location":null,"word_count":203,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/209/1921-12-23/p013","alignment_confidence":"low","alignment_reason":"count_diverges","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Violet E.

Wenn wir den menschlichen Leib mit seinen festkonturierten Gliedern betrachten und dann den Seelenblick werfen auf unser inneres Seelenleben, dann sehen wir im Seelenleben niemals etwas, was wir mit festen Konturen aufzeichnen könnten. Wir sehen im Seelenleben etwas, was in der Zeit verläuft, was immer wird und niemals ruhend ist. Das Seelenleben stellt sich uns zwar dar als ein nur innerlich geistig-seelisch anschaubarer, aber doch deutlich vorliegender Prozeß. Dieser Prozeß des Seelenlebens, der schon für das gewöhnliche Bewußtsein bei einer unbefangenen Innenschau des Menschen da ist, dieses Werden des Seelenlebens ist sehr wenig ähnlich dem in sich ruhenden Leibesleben. Gewiß, das Leibesleben zeigt uns auch Bewegung, die Atmungsbewegung, die Zirkulationsbewegung; allein ich möchte sagen, da haben wir einen Übergang zu dem Beweglichen, als das sich uns der Mensch darstellt vor der imaginativen Erkenntnis. Aber gegenüber den feinen, subtilen Bewegungen, die der imaginativen Erkenntnis sich ergeben von dem menschlichen physischen Leibe, verhält sich dasjenige, was uns als Blutzirkulation, als Atmungsbewegung, als sonstige Bewegung im Leibe auftritt, doch wie ein etwas verhältnismäßig Ruhendes. Kurz, dasjenige, was man mit dem gewöhnlichen Bewußtsein in der gegenständlichen Erkenntnis als den menschlichen Leib wahrnimmt, das ist sehr verschieden von dem, was man wahrnimmt als das Seelenleben, das ein immerwährendes Werdendes, ein in sich Bewegliches, ein nie Ruhendes ist. Wenn wir aber imaginativ den menschlichen Leib betrachten, dann wird er innerlich beweglich, das heißt, er wird in seinem Anblicke dem Seelenleben ähnlicher. So liefert uns die imaginative Erkenntnis die Möglichkeit, ich möchte sagen, den Anblick des physischen Leibes in das Seelische heraufzuheben. Seele und Leib nähern sich. Der Leib, der physische Körper wird seelenähnlicher für die imaginative Erkenntnis.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":282,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/209/1921-12-23/p008"}],"english":["GA 209/1921-12-23/p013","GA 209/1921-12-23/p014","GA 209/1921-12-23/p015"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":282,"en_words":305,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 209/1921-12-23/p008"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3901,"original_word_count":3946,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Violet E.
