The will is most directed by the gods, including, of course, Lucifer and Ahriman; which is why there is also an evil will. But it is carried and propelled forward by the gods, and human beings are only in very few cases able to know what is going on in their will. Therefore, what human beings express most involuntarily when they speak is what is predisposed in their will and caused by their will. One may even say: this is correct. Human beings have the least need to be fully conscious when they surrender to the original, elemental nature of their will, when they allow the impulses of the gods to be active in their will. The most elementary impulses are the impulses of the will. Therefore, I would say, human beings can progress in their incarnations from people to people, which is artistically represented in our building by the progression in the sequence of columns.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Fourth Lecture","site_heading":"Consciousness Evolution Through Architectural Form and Spiritual Necessity","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.

Der Wille wird am meisten von den Göttern dirigiert, selbstverständlich auch von Luzifer und Ahriman; deshalb gibt es auch einen bösen Willen. Aber er wird von den Göttern getragen, vorwärts bewegt, und der Mensch ist nur in den wenigsten Fällen in der Lage zu wissen, was in seinem Willen vorgeht. Deshalb gehört zu dem, was der Mensch, wenn er redet, am unwillkürlichsten äußert, dasjenige, was in seinem Willen veranlagt ist und durch seinen Willen verursacht wird. Man darf sogar sagen: so ist es richtig. Am wenigsten hat der Mensch zunächst nötig, völlig bewußt zu sein, wenn er sich der ursprünglichen, elementaren Natur seines Willens hingibt, wenn er die Impulse der Götter in seinem Willen tätig sein läßt. Die elementarsten Impulse sind die Willensimpulse. Daher, möchte ich sagen, kann der Mensch fortschreiten in seinen Inkarnationen von Volk zu Volk, was künstlerisch dargestellt wird in unserem Bau durch das Fortschreiten in der Säulenfolge.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":180,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/287/1914-10-25/p033"}],"english":["GA 287/1914-10-25/p033"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":180,"en_words":184,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5232,"original_word_count":5122,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"The Dornach Building","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA287/English/SOL2025/19141025p01.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.
