This opium consumption is even very widespread in the world, although not in Europe, more for example among a certain type of Turks and namely in Asia and Hinterindien, with the Malay peoples. There these people take only such strong quantities of opium that they can just still tolerate it, that they wake up properly again, and do not die from it. In this way they experience everything that the opium eater experiences in a strange and interesting way. Only they gradually get used to it, and so they experience the story more consciously. The Turks then say: Yes, when I enjoyed opium, I was in paradise. — That is already the case in these fantastic interpretations. And the Malays in the Far East also want to see all that. So they get used to taking opium because they want to see all that too. This can be done for a relatively long time, and then you end up saying to yourself, “Well, there is something else.”","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"X.

Dieser Opiumgenuß ist sogar in der Welt sehr verbreitet, obwohl nicht in Europa, mehr zum Beispiel unter einer gewissen Sorte von Türken und namentlich in Asien und Hinterindien, bei den malaiischen Völkern. Da nehmen diese Menschen immer nur so starke Mengen von Opium, daß sie es gerade noch vertragen können, daß sie wieder richtig aufwachen, und nicht sterben davon. Dadurch machen sie in einer merkwürdigen, interessanten Weise all dasjenige durch, was der Opiumesser überhaupt durchmacht. Nur gewöhnen sie sich nach und nach daran, und dadurch machen sie die Geschichte mehr bewußt durch. Die Türken schildern dann: Ja, wenn ich Opium genossen habe, dann bin ich im Paradiese gewesen. — Das ist also schon so in diesen phantastischen Ausgestaltungen. Und die Malaien in Hinterindien, die möchten nun auch das alles sehen. Dadurch gewöhnen sie sich den Opiumgenuß an, weil sie das auch alles sehen möchten. Nun kann man das verhältnismäßig lange durchführen, und dadurch kommt man dazu, sich zu sagen: Nun ja, es gibt eben noch etwas anderes.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":176,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/349/1923-04-18/p022"}],"english":["GA 349/1923-04-18/p022"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":176,"en_words":177,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6917,"original_word_count":6912,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Life of Man on Earth and the Essence of Christianity","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA349/English/SOL2024/19230418p02.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.
