When a human being enters physical existence through birth or through conception from spiritual worlds, by clothing himself with a physical body, we see that what the soul and spirit takes on with this physical body needs time to take effect. The child arrives in the physical world with its predispositions. But it must grow up. We can observe how, from month to month, from year to year, from decade to decade, the physical organization first brings forth what is spiritually and soulfully predisposed in the human being. Those who, through the spiritual science referred to here, acquire the ability to penetrate into the real connection between the spiritual and soul life and the bodily and physical, come to the following realization, not through some kind of logical fantasy, but through a penetrating, very conscientious observation of life that is continued over long periods of time:","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":211,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/334/1920-01-06/p013","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"From a Unitary State to the Tripartite Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA334/English/SOL2024/19200106s01.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.

Therefore, one cannot hope that, in the manner of American thought healing, one can invent thoughts that are introduced into the person like a liquid medicine and that work immediately. No, the transformation that the spiritual-soul content undergoes as it increasingly penetrates the bodily-physical requires time.

Rather, it is something that is discovered as conscientiously as any laboratory or clinical result, and much more conscientiously. In such investigations, one starts out from the paths that ordinary, everyday spiritual assimilation undergoes in the human being, in that the human being can later conjure up from the depths of his soul that which he has once taken into that soul, in terms of memory. In the course of their lives, the vast majority of people simply bypass the paths that the soul life takes in relation to memory; they do not observe how it is quite differently experienced when we remember something that we experienced decades ago and something that we experienced three days ago. We certainly draw both from the depths of our soul. But what we experienced three days ago or even three years ago proves, to someone with the ability to observe such things, to be something that is drawn, I might say, from the shallower depths of our soul life, and is still entirely mental content. What one remembers as an older person from one's childhood experiences is what one brings up from the depths of the soul. If one observes the process, one sees how it is already intimately intertwined with the whole body, how it permeates our body like a soul blood, how it has strongly taken on the character of the forces that denote the habitual in us.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":257,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/334/1920-01-06/p015","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"From a Unitary State to the Tripartite Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA334/English/SOL2024/19200106s01.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.

Today, for example, in education, in teaching, an enormous value is placed on the so-called contemplation, and rightly so, because within certain limits it is good to lead the child directly to the external or internal contemplation and to let his ideas and concepts be imagined by him in such a way that he draws them himself. But not everything that is needed for the child's development into a human being can be brought to it in this way. And so much must enter into the child merely by looking up to his educator, to his teacher as his authority, to the one who develops a certain fire in educating, in teaching, who transmits imponderables from himself to the child with his fire. There will then be some things that the child absorbs in the belief that the authority believes in them; but it does not yet understand them. Then the time may come, perhaps fifteen or twenty years after the child has left school, when he remembers: “You learned that then and didn't understand it. Now you have matured, now you are bringing it up from the depths of your soul. Now you understand it.” Anyone who is familiar with the soul life of a human being knows that such an understanding, mediated by later ripening, of what one has carried in one's soul for years, perhaps decades, develops forces that strengthen the human being inwardly; nothing pours such energy into the will from the innermost part of the soul as learning to understand something through one's own ripening power, something that one took in years ago on authority, on someone's saying. In this way, pedagogy can be combined with ideal and spiritual hygiene. When such far-reaching views are fully integrated into our public health care system, then the spiritual that is rooted in humanity will be able to truly unfold its energies, which are so beneficial for humanity. While everything we absorb through our intellect and its development is, so to speak, detached from the human being and therefore cannot have an effect on the human being, what is drawn from the whole human nature, the spiritual-scientific, can also have an effect on this whole human nature. And if, in the field of medicine, we look not only for momentary success but also for a system of health care that takes into account the laws of the world, and thus also the laws of time, we have the opportunity to work in this direction with tremendous benefit. Unfortunately, however, the nature of present-day humanity is such that it does not like to look at that which eludes the moment and which, I might say, goes into the great with its effect. Modern man would prefer to take leave of the laws of the world and become ill at will. You will understand that I do not mean this quite literally, but it is something that human nature tends towards. And then, again, he would like to be cured in the twinkling of an eye. But what must be borne in mind is that the strong inner energy should be developed in individual people's education, and indeed throughout their whole lives, in order to really bring to fruition the healing powers of the soul, of the spirit, in people. From this point of view, it will be seen that physical and mental health depend very much on the development of such a strong and vigorous soul life in people that this strong and vigorous soul life can actually intervene in the physical being.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":627,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/334/1920-01-06/p019","witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"From a Unitary State to the Tripartite Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA334/English/SOL2024/19200106s01.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.

Dadurch wird schon in das Kindergemüt das gesenkt, was sich dann verbinden soll mit der seelischen und physischen Organisation, was heranwächst und was, weil es gesund ist, in gesunder Weise verwächst mit der menschlichen Organisation und sie gesund und stark macht, widerstandsfähig macht gegen äußere Einflüsse.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":123,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/334/1920-01-06/p017"},{"locus":"GA 334/1920-01-06/p018","passage_number":18,"text":"Wenn die Welt einmal die volle Bedeutung dessen, was hier Geisteswissenschaft leisten kann, einsehen wird, dann werden allmählich nicht verschwinden, aber von geringerer Bedeutung werden alle die schönen - ich sage das nicht ironisch, sondern durchaus im ernsten Sinne -, all die schönen Theorien von Infektionskrankheiten und dergleichen, die heute nur in einseitiger Weise betrachtet werden. Es wird viel mehr als auf die Art, wie die Bazillen und Bakterien einziehen in unseren Organismus, darauf gesehen werden, wie stark wir von der Seele und vom Geiste geworden sind, um diesen Invasionen zu widerstehen. Diese Stärke wird in der menschlichen Natur kein äußeres Heilmittel bedingen, aber das Heilmittel, das innerlich den Menschen stärkt vom Geiste und von der Seele aus durch einen gesunden geisteswissenschaftlichen Inhalt. Damit wird allerdings öffentliche Gesundheitspflege gerade durch Geisteswissenschaft auf eine wesentlich andere Grundlage gestellt, als die sich träumen lassen, die glauben, daß nur im Fortgange der gegenwärtigen Ansichten das Heil der menschlichen Entwickelung liegen könne.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":158,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/334/1920-01-06/p018"},{"locus":"GA 334/1920-01-06/p019","passage_number":19,"text":"Ich möchte unter vielem nur auf eines aufmerksam machen, auf das ich von anderen Gesichtspunkten aus auch hier in dieser Stadt schon einige Persönlichkeiten aufmerksam gemacht habe. Heute legt man zum Beispiel in der Erziehung, im Unterricht einen ungeheuren Wert auf die sogenannte Anschauung, mit Recht, denn innerhalb gewisser Grenzen ist es gut, wenn man das Kind unmittelbar hinführt vor das äußerlich oder innerlich Anschaubare und seine Vorstellungen, seine Begriffe sich ihm einbilden läßt so, daß es sie selbst abzieht. Aber nicht alles kann in dieser Weise an das Kind herangebracht werden, wessen es bedarf zu seiner Entwickelung für ein menschenwürdiges Dasein. Und so muß in das Kind vieles einziehen bloß dadurch, daß es hinaufsieht zu seinem Erzieher, zu seinem Unterrichter als zu seiner Autorität, zu dem, der ein gewisses Feuer im Erziehen, im Unterrichten entwickelt, der Imponderabilien mit seinem Feuer von sich in das Kind hinüberleitet. Da wird es dann manches geben können, was das Kind aufnimmt in dem Glauben, die Autorität glaube an das; es versteht es aber noch nicht. Dann können die Zeiten eintreten vielleicht nach fünfzehn, zwanzig Jahren, nachdem das Kind die Schule verlassen hat, wo es sich erinnert: das hast du dazumal gelernt und nicht verstanden, jetzt bist du reif geworden, jetzt holst du es rein gedächtnismäßig aus deinem Seelenquell herauf. Jetzt verstehst du es. Wer das Seelenleben des Menschen kennt, der weiß, daß ein solches durch späteres Reifwerden vermitteltes Verstehen desjenigen, was man schon Jahre, vielleicht Jahrzehnte in der Seele getragen hat, Kräfte entwickelt, die innerlich den Menschen erstarken; es gießt in den Willen nichts eine solche Energie hinein vom Innersten der Seele aus wie das Verstehenlernen von etwas durch seine eigene Reifekraft, von etwas, was man vor Jahren auf Autorität, auf Mitteilung hin aufgenommen hat. So kann verbunden werden Pädagogik mit ideeller, mit spiritueller Hygiene. Wenn einmal wirklich unsere öffentliche Gesundheitspflege durchzogen werden wird mit solchen weitgehenden Anschauungen, dann wird erst das Geistige, das in der Menschheit wurzelt, seine für die Menschheit so heilsamen Energien wirklich entfalten können. Während all das, was wir nur aufnehmen durch den Intellekt und seine Ausbildung, gewissermaßen vom Menschen losgelöst ist und daher auch nicht auf den Menschen zurückwirken kann, wird das, was aus der ganzen Menschennatur herausgeholt ist, das Geisteswissenschaftliche, auch zurückwirken können auf diese ganze Menschennatur. Und wir haben, wenn wir auch in der Medizin nicht bloß auf Augenblickserfolge, sondern auf eine Gesundheitspflege sehen, die mit den Weltgesetzen, also auch mit den Zeitgesetzen rechnet, wir haben die Möglichkeit, ungeheuer Günstiges in dieser Richtung zu wirken. Nur ist leider die gegenwärtige Menschheit so geartet, daß sie gar nicht gern hinschaut auf dasjenige, was sich dem Augenblick entzieht und was mit seiner Wirkung, ich möchte sagen, ins Große geht. Der gegenwärtige Mensch möchte sich am liebsten von den Weltgesetzen die Erlaubnis nehmen, krank zu werden, wenn es ihm beliebt - Sie verstehen, daß ich das nicht in ganz wörtlichem Sinne meine, aber es ist so etwas unter den Neigungen der Menschennatur — und dann möchte er wiederum im Augenblicke geheilt werden können. Auf was aber gesehen werden muß, das ist, daß die innerliche starke Energie entwickelt werde in einzelnen Volkserziehungen, ja durch das ganze Leben hindurch in den Menschen die gesundenden, die Heilkräfte von der Seele, vom Geiste aus wirklich zur Entfaltung zu bringen. Von diesem Gesichtspunkt aus wird man einsehen, daß leibliche und seelische Gesundheit gar sehr davon abhängt, daß ein so starkes, ein so energisches Seelenleben in den Menschen heranentwickelt werde, daß dieses starke, energische Seelenleben wirklich auch in das leibliche Wesen eingreifen kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":588,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/334/1920-01-06/p019"}],"beads":[{"from":[13],"to":[13],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[14],"to":[14],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[15],"to":[15],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[16],"to":[16],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[17],"to":[17],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[18],"to":[18],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[19],"to":[19],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
