By trying to put himself in the place of the architect in his architectural forms and proportions, in what the architect encloses in his buildings, he feels a kinship with these architectural proportions and harmonies, with that which develops in him, in the seer, as a completely different thinking than the shadowy thinking of ordinary life. One would like to say: the clairvoyant develops a new thinking that is related to nothing so much as to the forms in which the architect thinks and which he fashions. The thinking that rules in ordinary life has nothing to do with true seership. The thinking that rules in seership includes space in its creative experience. The seer knows that with these forms, which are living thought forms, he enters into the supersensible reality behind the sense world, but that he must develop this thinking that lives out in spatial forms. The seer perceives: In all that lives in the harmony of measure and form, will and emotional feeling are active. He learns to recognize the forces of the world in such measure and number relationships through the designs that live in his thinking. Therefore, he feels related in his thinking to what the architect designs. In a certain sense, a new emotional life awakens in him — not that of ordinary consciousness — and he feels akin to what the architect and sculptor create in forms. For supersensible knowledge, a representational intellectuality is born that thinks in spatial forms that curve and shape themselves through their own life. These are thought-forms through which the soul of the seer plunges into spiritual reality; one feels akin to what lives in the forms of the sculptor. One can characterize the seer's thinking and new perception by considering his experiences with architecture and sculpture.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Sources of Artistic Imagination and Supersensible Knowledge II","site_heading":null,"date":"1918-05-06","location":null,"word_count":320,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/271/1918-05-06/p011","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Understanding Art","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA271/English/SOL2024/19180506p01.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.

Indem er versucht, sich in architektonische Formen und Maßverhältnisse hineinzuversetzen, in das, was der Architekt in seine Bauten hineingeheimnißt, fühlt er sich verwandt mit diesen Architektur-Maßverhältnissen und Harmonien, mit dem gerade, was sich in ihm, im Seher, als ein ganz anderes Denken entwickelt als das schattenhafte Denken des gewöhnlichen Lebens. Man möchte sagen: Der Hellseher entwickelt ein neues Denken, das mit nichts so verwandt ist als mit den Formen, in denen der Architekt denkt und die er ausgestaltet. Das Denken, das im gewöhnlichen Leben waltet, hat nichts zu tun mit wirklichem Sehertum. Das Denken, das beim Sehertum waltet, schließt den Raum in sein schaffendes Erleben ein. Der Seher weiß, daß er mit diesen Formen, die lebendige Gedankenformen sind, eindringt in die übersinnliche Wirklichkeit hinter der Sinnenwelt, daß er aber dieses sich in Raumformen auslebende Denken entwickeln muß. Der Seher empfindet: In all dem, was sich in Maß- und Formharmonien auslebt, wirken Wille und emotionelle Gefühle. Er lernt erkennen die Kräfte der Welt in solchen Maß- und Zahlenverhältnisse durchziehenden Gestaltungen, wie sie in seinem Denken leben. Daher fühlt er sich in seinem Denken verwandt mit dem, was der Architekt gestaltet. In gewisser Beziehung fühlt er sich, indem ein neues Gefühlsleben in ihm auflebt — nicht das des gewöhnlichen Bewußtseins — verwandt mit dem, was Architekt und Bildhauer in Formen schaffen. Für die übersinnliche Erkenntnis wird geboren eine gegenständliche Intellektualität, welche denkt in Raumformen, die sich krümmen, die sich durch ihr eigenes Leben Gestalt geben. Das sind Gedankenformen, durch welche die Seele des Sehers untertaucht in die geistige Wirklichkeit; die fühlt man verwandt mit dem, was in den Formen des Bildhauers lebt. Man kann charakterisieren, wie das Denken und das neue Empfinden des Sehers ist, indem man seine Erlebnisse mit Architektur und Plastik ins Auge faßt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":313,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/271/1918-05-06/p011"}],"english":["GA 271/1918-05-06/p011"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":313,"en_words":320,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6883,"original_word_count":6492,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Understanding Art","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA271/English/SOL2024/19180506p01.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.
