The actual conceptual and perceptual activity of the human being has as its basis—one cannot even say as its tool, but as its physical basis—everything that takes place physically in the nerve-sense system. It is not the case, as is suggested by modern psychology and physiology, that those processes connected primarily with the feeling and willing systems also take place in the nerve-sense system. Such an opinion does not hold up before a more precise study of the issue. You will find such a precise study, at least suggested in its outlines, in my book, *Riddles of the Soul*.[^3]","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"The Threefold Human Organism: Pathology and Therapeutic Principles","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.

Wir haben dann, wenn wir die ganze Wesenheit des Menschen umfassen wollen, das Folgende vor uns: Die eigentliche vorstellende und wahrnehmende Tätigkeit des Menschen, sie hat zu ihrer Grundlage, man kann nicht einmal sagen zum Werkzeug, aber zu ihrer physischen Grundlage alles dasjenige, was sich abspielt physisch im Nerven-Sinnessystem. Es ist nun nicht so, wie eine neuere Psychologie und Physiologie meint, daß sich im Nerven-Sinnessystem auch diejenigen Prozesse abspielen, die in primärer Weise zusammenhängen mit dem Gefühls- und Willenssystem. Nein, das hält vor einem genaueren Studium der Sache nicht stand. Dieses genauere Studium finden Sie, wenigstens in seinen Leitlinien, angedeutet in meinem Buche «Von Seelenrätseln»; aber nach dieser Richtung wird eben sehr viel Detailarbeit noch zu leisten sein. Dann wird sich schon dasjenige, was Geisteswissenschaft heute mit Gewißheit von ihrer Seite zu sagen hat, auch von der anderen Seite, von der physisch-empirischen Seite her herausstellen, dann wird sich herausstellen, daß das Fühlen des Menschen nicht zusammenhängt in primärer Weise mit dem Nerven:Sinnessystem, sondern mit dem rhythmischen System, daß geradeso, wie das Nerven-Sinnessystem entspricht dem vorstellenden Wahrnehmen, das rhythmische System entspricht dem Fühlen, und daß erst durch die Wechselwirkung des rhythmischen Systems mit dem Nerven-Sinnessystem, auf dem Umwege durch den Rhythmus des Gehirnwassers, der heranschlägt an das Nerven-Sinnessystem, eingeschaltet wird das Nerven-Sinnessystem als Träger des Vorstellungslebens dann, wenn wir unsere Gefühle zu Vorstellungen erheben, wodurch das dumpf-traumhafte Gefühlsleben von uns selber wahrgenommen und vorgestellt wird auf innerliche Weise. Und ebenso, wie das Gefühlsleben direkt zusammenhängt mit dem rhythmischen System und indirekt durch dieses vermittelt wird, so hängt direkt zusammen das Willensleben mit dem Stoffwechselsystem. Und dieser Zusammenhang ist dann wiederum so, daß in sekundärer Weise, weil der Stoffwechsel natürlich auch im Gehirn vor sich geht, das Stoffwechselsystem in seinen Funktionen an das Nerven-Sinnessystem heranschlägt und auf diese Weise wir innerlich zustandebringen die Vorstellungen von unseren Willensimpulsen, die sonst in einem dumpfen Schlafesleben innerhalb unseres Organismus spielen würden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":385,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/314/1920-10-09/p006"}],"english":["GA 314/1920-10-09/p011","GA 314/1920-10-09/p012","GA 314/1920-10-09/p013"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":385,"en_words":422,"ratio":1.1,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 314/1920-10-09/p006"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4508,"original_word_count":4291,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Alice Wuslin and Gerald F.
