I cited significant works of literature from which we can see such a struggle of the soul within the impulses of the times. But those souls who wanted to numb themselves as if with a spiritual-soul narcotic immerse themselves in a certain worldview into which they were born or raised. There are certainly a large number of souls in our time who, through their karma and what is connected with it, lean more toward materialism. They adopt what materialism has produced as a worldview. Others are more spiritually oriented souls; they adopt what spiritualism or idealism has brought into the world, and they numb themselves with what they adopt, without developing the will to enter into that struggle in which the soul finds itself when it is to truly enter the spiritual worlds.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Thirteenth Lecture","site_heading":"Modern Consciousness and the Struggle for Spiritual Knowledge","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.

Jene Seelen aber, die sich wie durch ein geistig-seelisches Narkotikum betäuben wollten, leben sich ein in eine gewisse Weltanschauungsströmung, in die sie hinein geboren oder hinein erzogen waren. Das sind gewiß eine große Anzahl von Seelen in unserer Zeit, welche durch ihr Karma und durch das, was mit ihm zusammenhängt, mehr nach dem Materialismus hinneigen. Sie übernehmen das, was der Materialismus als Weltanschauung hervorgebracht hat. Andere sind spiritueller gerichtete Seelen, sie übernehmen das, was der Spiritualismus oder der Idealismus zur Welt gebracht hat, und sie betäuben sich an dem, was sie übernehmen, ohne den Willen zu entwickeln, sich hineinzustellen in jenes Ringen, in das die Seele kommt, wenn sie wirklich in die geistigen Welten hineintreten soll.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":149,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/254/1915-11-07/p007"}],"english":["GA 254/1915-11-07/p007"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":149,"en_words":141,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7089,"original_word_count":7023,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy S.
