However, people who approach spiritual science sometimes feel disappointed: they do not find convenient answers to their down-to-earth questions, but they do find other worlds that sometimes have much deeper riddles than those in the world of the senses. Through an introduction to spiritual science, new riddles arise that cannot be solved in theory, but promise to dissolve vividly in the process of life and thus create new riddles. If one lives into this higher liveliness, one remains related to art. Hebbel demands conflicts that must remain unresolved, and he finds Grillparzer philistine when, despite all his beauty, he resolves conflicts in a way that only makes sense to someone smarter than his hero. — This is the ultimate goal of true vision: it does not create cheap answers, but rather worldviews that complement the ones we perceive with our senses. Of course, profound artists have already sensed this. In his recently published book “Stufen” (Stages), Morgenstern expresses the idea that anyone who, like the artist, really wants to get to the spiritual must be willing to absorb and unite with what can already be comprehended today, through supersensible knowledge, of the divine-spiritual. He says: “He who only wants to immerse himself in what can be experienced of the Divine-Spiritual today, not penetrating it with knowledge, is like the illiterate person who sleeps all his life with his primer under his pillow.”","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":259,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/271/1918-05-06/p038","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.

Die Leute, die an die Geisteswissenschaft herantreten, fühlen sich aber manchmal enttäuscht: sie finden nicht so bequeme Antworten auf ihre hausbackenen Fragen, sondern sie finden andere Welten, die manchmal viel tiefere Rätsel haben als die in der Sinnenwelt. Durch Einführung in die Geisteswissenschaft gehen neue Rätsel auf, die sich nicht theoretisch lösen, sondern versprechen, sich im Lebensprozesse lebendig aufzulösen und so neue Rätsel zu erzeugen. Lebt man sich in diese höhere Lebendigkeit hinein, so bleibt man der Kunst verwandt. Hebbel verlangt Konflikte, die ungelöst stehen bleiben müssen, und er empfindet es bei Grillparzer als philiströs, daß dieser, trotz aller Schönheit, die Sache so macht, daß sich die Konflikte lösen, wenn man nur etwas gescheiter ist als sein Held. — Dahin führt vor allen Dingen das wirkliche Sehertum: Es schafft nicht billige Antworten, sondern Weltanschauungen zu den sinnlich gegebenen hinzu. Gewiß, tiefschürfende Künstler haben das schon empfunden. In seinem eben erschienenen Buch «Stufen» spricht Morgenstern aus, daß wer, wie der Künstler, wirklich an das Geistige heran will, darauf aus sein muß, das in sich aufzunehmen, mit sich zu vereinigen, was man heute schon, durch übersinnliche Erkenntnis durchdringend, von Göttlich-Geistigem begreifen kann. Er sagt: «Wer in das, was vom Göttlich-Geistigen heute erfahren werden kann, nur fühlend sich versenken, nicht erkennend eindringen will, gleicht dem Analphabeten, der ein Leben lang mit der Fibel unterm Kopfkissen schläft.»","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":252,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/271/1918-05-06/p038"}],"english":["GA 271/1918-05-06/p038"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":252,"en_words":259,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","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.
