Today's human being basically consists of this duality, of that soul element that cannot be described other than as volition-devoid thinking, and of the other soul element that must be described as thought-devoid willing. Spiritual scientific knowledge, in the same way that it attempts to integrate the will into thinking, seeks to bring the person who wants to become a spiritual researcher to face his own actions, the results of his own will, with an objectivity that is otherwise only applied to external facts. When he sets out on the path of spiritual research, man must become a faithful observer of what he himself does and what he himself wills. In a sense, he must first of all lift himself up ideationally and walk beside himself as in a higher self. And this higher self must observe the human being in everything he does, as one would otherwise only observe when observing external natural facts or conducting experiments. For then one learns to develop thoughts from something that, especially in the last three to four centuries, has been dominated and impulsed by the most personal emotions, particularly in certain radical, extreme circles. One learns to recognize that in thoughts which one otherwise does not see at all, whose thoughts otherwise remain completely unconscious.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Aus dieser Zweiheit besteht im Grunde genommen der heutige Mensch, aus jenem Seelenelemente, das man nicht anders bezeichnen kann, als willensentblößtes Denken, und aus dem anderen Seelenelemente, das man bezeichnen muß als gedankenentblößtes Wollen. Geisteswissenschaftliche Erkenntnis, sie sucht ebenso, wie sie den Willen hineinzuschieben versucht in das Denken, den Menschen, der ein Geistesforscher werden will, dazu zu bringen, seinen eigenen Handlungen, seinen eigenen Willensergebnissen mit einer solchen Objektivität gegenüberzustehen, wie man sonst nur gegenübersteht äußeren Tatsachen. Der Mensch muß werden, wenn er sich auf den Weg des Geistesforschens begibt, ein treuer Beobachter dessen, was er selber tut, was er selber will. Gewissermaßen muß er sich ideell zunächst herausheben und muß wie in einem Höheren von sich selbst neben sich einhergehen. Und dieses Höhere neben sich selbst muß den Menschen so beobachten in allem, was er tut, wie man sonst nur beobachtet, wenn man äußere Naturtatsachen oder das Experiment beobachtet. Denn dann lernt man an etwas Gedanken entwickeln, was gerade in den letzten drei bis vier Jahrhunderten am allermeisten, besonders bei gewissen radikalen extremen Kreisen, nur beherrscht und impulsiert wird von den persönlichsten Emotionen. Man lernt erkennen dasjenige in Gedanken, worauf man sonst eigentlich gar nicht sieht, dessen Gedanken sonst völlig im Unbewußten bleiben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":234,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/334/1920-03-18/p013"}],"english":["GA 334/1920-03-18/p013"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":234,"en_words":246,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 334/1920-03-18/p013"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9598,"original_word_count":9332,"may_be_abridged":false},"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/SOL2024/19200318s01.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.
