Then energy and courage will flow from the spirit into the souls of many people who, because of their present way of thinking, are filled with discouragement and lack of energy. For it is of the least value that we know this or that about the spiritual world in theory. Most of the time we even clothe our thoughts about the spiritual world in physical forms. It is not important that we form theoretical thoughts about the spiritual world. Certainly, we must first form these thoughts so that they enter our mind and our will, but the essential thing is that they can then live in our mind and in our feelings.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Our Thought Life in Sleep and Wakefulness and in the Afterlife","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-06-21","location":null,"word_count":164,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/224/1923-06-21/p021","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Human Soul in its Connection with Divine-Spiritual Individualities","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA224/English/SOL2024/19230621p01.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.
