When everything wants to change into light and color we become painters. The very source of painting opens up. With great inner joy we lay one color alongside another. Colors become revelations of life, death, soul, spirit. By overcoming dead thought we attain to the point where we no longer feel impelled to speak in words, no longer to think in ideas, no longer to mould in forms, but use color and light to represent life and death, spirit and soul, as they have their being in the universe.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VII","site_heading":"Art, Science, and Religion: The Living Unity","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.

Die Welt als Farbe und Licht erlebt man, wenn man erlebt das Grün als das tote Bild des Lebens; Pfirsichblüt und menschliches Inkarnat als das lebende Bild der Seele; Weiß als das seelische Bild des Geistes; Schwarz als das geistige Bild des Toten. Ich bin wirklich in eine Rundung hineingekommen, indem ich das ausgesprochen habe. Denn geben Sie acht, wie ich beschreiben mußte: Grün = totes Bild des Lebenden. Ich bin beim Lebenden stehen geblieben. Pfirsichblüt und Inkarnat = lebendes Bild der Seele. Ich bin bei der Seele stehen geblieben. Weiß = seelisches Bild des Geistes. Ich bin bei der Seele stehen geblieben und steige zum Geiste auf. Schwarz = geistiges Bild des Toten. Ich bin bei Geistigem stehen geblieben, zum Toten aufgestiegen, aber bin wiederum zurückgekehrt, indem das Grün das tote Bild des Lebenden war. Ich bin zu dem Toten wieder zurückgekehrt. Ich habe den Kreis geschlossen. Würde ich Ihnen das auf einer Tafel aufzeichnen können, könnte ich Ihnen die Sache schematisch aufzeichnen, und Sie würden sehen, daß dadurch dieses lebendige Weben im Farbigen - wir werden im nächsten Vortrage auch von dem Blau zu sprechen haben — zu einem wirklichen künstlerischen Nacherleben des Astralischen in der Welt wird. Hat man dieses künstlerische Erleben, stellt sich einem Tod, Leben, Seele, Geist wie im Rade des Lebens dar, indem man von dem Toten zu dem Toten zurückkehrt durch das Leben des Seelischen, Geistigen, stellt sich einem Tod, Leben, Seele, Geist durch Licht und Farbe dar, wie ich es eben beschrieben habe, dann weiß man, mit dem kann man nicht im Raume bleiben, man muß aus dem Raume heraus, vom Raume zur Ebene kommen. Da muß man in der Ebene das Rätsel des Raumes lösen, man verliert das Raumesvorstellen. Wie man als Plastiker das Kopfdenken verloren hat, so verliert man jetzt das Raumesvorstellen. Alles drängt sich einem in Licht und Farbe hinein, man wird zum Maler. Der Quell des Malerischen wird durch eine solche Anschauung von selbst eröffnet. Man bekommt die große, innerliche Freude, diese oder jene Farbe aufzutragen, neben sie die andere Farbe zu setzen, denn die Farben werden dann zu einer lebendigen Offenbarung des Lebendigen, des Toten, des Geistigen, des Seelischen. So erlangt man wirklich, wenn man den toten Gedanken überwindet, den Punkt, wo man sich unmittelbar getrieben fühlt, nicht mehr in Worten zu sprechen, nicht mehr in Ideen zu denken, auch nicht mehr in Formen zu gestalten, sondern in der Farbe und im Lichte Leben und Tod, Geist und Seele, wie sie werden und leben in der Welt, wiederzugeben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":431,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/276/1923-05-18/p030"}],"english":["GA 276/1923-05-18/p032","GA 276/1923-05-18/p033","GA 276/1923-05-18/p034"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":431,"en_words":346,"ratio":0.8,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 276/1923-05-18/p030"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.77,"band":"watch","note":"This witness is somewhat shorter than the original.
