Yet people who wish to know nothing about spiritual science do sleep and dream through all the influences of Ahriman and Lucifer. They are exposed to these influences even if they themselves know nothing about them. But ‘life cannot go on like this; life has to be lived consciously from now on, and that is what spiritual science is for, so that people do not go through the world sleeping and dreaming, but understand what is around them. For this to happen, however, we must really get down to the subtleties of our spiritual-scientific business—if you will forgive the word. Such subtleties often go unnoticed, and this is the sort of thing I find when I read through transcripts of lectures I have given. Often what is of essential importance to me does not appear at all in the transcript. Just look at two examples of this. I used a certain sentence a little while ago and did not say that spiritual science wants something, but that spiritual science should want it, or has to want it. That is a particular expression which comes quite naturally to a person who is speaking out of the spirit of spiritual science, for spiritual science leads as a matter of course to a more impersonal grasp of the truths of spiritual life than other sciences do. Speaking in the manner of other sciences we would say “Spiritual science wants something”. But spiritual science says “what it should want or must want” And I say “The way I must express myself” and not “The way express myself”.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"I.

Aber schlafend und träumend gehen die Menschen, die nichts wissen wollen von der Geisteswissenschaft, durch alle die Einflüsse des ahrimanischen und luziferischen Lebens hindurch. Sie sind diesen Einflüssen und Wirkungen ausgesetzt, auch wenn sie selber nichts davon wissen. So läßt sich aber nicht weiterleben, denn weiterleben läßt es sich nur bewußt, und dazu ist die Geisteswissenschaft da, daß die Menschen nicht schlafend und träumend durch die Welt gehen, sondern erkennen, in welcher Umgebung sie leben. Dazu aber gehört, daß wir uns wirklich auf die Intimitäten, möchte ich sagen, des geisteswissenschaftlichen Betriebes — verzeihen Sie das Wort — einlassen. Solche Intimitäten werden oftmals nicht beachtet, und ich kann dies finden, wenn ich Nachschriften lese von Vorträgen, die ich gehalten habe. Ich kann da finden, daß das, was mir oftmals wichtig sein muß, in den -Nachschriften nicht erscheint. Nehmen Sie nur zwei Dinge von dem, was ich eben gesagt habe. Ich habe vorhin einen Satz gebraucht und gesagt, daß die Geisteswissenschaft nicht etwas will, sondern wollen soll oder zu wollen hat. Das ist eine gewisse Redewendung, die sich auf ganz natürlich-naive Weise dem ergibt, der aus dem Geiste der Geisteswissenschaft heraus redet, denn die Geisteswissenschaft führt ganz selbstverständlich zu einem unpersönlicheren Ergreifen der Wahrheiten des geistigen Lebens als die andern Wissenschaften. Im Stile der andern Wissenschaften gesprochen, würde man sagen: Die Geisteswissenschaft will etwas. — Sie sagt aber: Wie sie wollen soll oder wollen muß. — Und ich sage: Wie ich mich ausdrücken muß und nicht: Wie ich mich ausdrücke.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":274,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/275/1914-12-28/p025"}],"english":["GA 275/1914-12-28/p025"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":274,"en_words":292,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7306,"original_word_count":7110,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Pauline Wehrle and Johanna Collis","identified_edition":"RSP1984","book_title":"Art as Seen in the Light of Mystery Wisdom","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA275/English/RSP1984/19141228p02.html","evidence":"lecture_list_row","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
