He seeks for a consciousness of this super-sensible human being, not by way of inference and speculation based upon the world that is directly given, but, on the contrary, by so transforming his own condition of mind that this ascends from the perceiving of the sense-perceptible to real participation in the super-sensible. He arrives in this way at the recognition of a content of soul which proves to be richer, more filled with substance, than that of ordinary consciousness. What this road then leads to further can only be suggested here, of course, since a thorough exposition would require a comprehensive treatise. The inner being of the soul becomes for the spiritual researcher the producer, the builder, of that which constitutes the single human life in the physical world. And this producer manifests in itself that it has—interwoven into its life as realities—the forces, not only of the one life, but of many lives. That which may be considered as evidence of reincarnation, of repeated earthly lives, becomes a matter of actual observation. For what one learns of the inner core of the human life reveals, one might say, the telescoping together of interrelated human personalities. And these personalities can be sensed only in the relationship of the preceding and the succeeding. For one which follows is always manifested as the result of another. There is, moreover, in the relationship of one personality to another no element of continuity; rather, there is such a relationship as manifests itself in successive earthly lives separated by intervening periods of purely spiritual existence. To the observation of the soul's inner being, the periods during which the core of the human being was embodied in a physical corporeal organization are differentiated from those of the super-sensible existence through the fact that, in the former, the experience of the content of the mind appears as if projected against the background of the physical life; while, in the latter, it appears as merged in a super-sensible element which extends into the indefinite. It has not been the intention to present here anything more concerning so-called reincarnation than a sort of view of a perspective which is opened by the preceding reflections.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":407,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/35/psychfoundations/p030","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"die_psychologischen_grundlagen_und_die_erkenntnistheoretisch","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 35/die_psychologischen_grundlagen_und_die_erkenntnistheoretisch/p031","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/35/die_psychologischen_grundlagen_und_die_erkenntnistheoretisch/p031"},{"locus":"GA 35/die_psychologischen_grundlagen_und_die_erkenntnistheoretisch/p032","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/35/die_psychologischen_grundlagen_und_die_erkenntnistheoretisch/p032"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"evidence":["length","anchors"],"length_check":{"de_words":521,"en_words":676,"ratio":1.3,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

The fact that these forms of existence may bear their own time-indications may be seen to be intelligible through the analogy with ordinary memory. An experience appearing in memory bears in its content also its own time-indication. But the real “resurvey in memory” of past forms of existence, supported by rigid self-supervision, is still very remote, of course, from the training of the spiritual researcher which has thus far been described, and great difficulties for the inner soul life tower up on the path before this can be attained in an incontestable form. Nevertheless, this lies on the direct continuation of the path to knowledge which has been described. It has been my desire at first to register here, so to speak, facts of experience in the inner soul-observation. It is for this reason that I have described reincarnation only as one such fact, but this fact can be established also on a theoretical basis. This I have done in the chapter entitled “Karma and Reincarnation” in the book, *Theosophy*. I undertook there to show that certain findings of modern natural science, if thought out to their conclusion, lead to the assumption of the ideas of reincarnation of the human being.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":269,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/35/psychfoundations/p031","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"die_psychologischen_grundlagen_und_die_erkenntnistheoretisch","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 35/die_psychologischen_grundlagen_und_die_erkenntnistheoretisch/p031","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/35/die_psychologischen_grundlagen_und_die_erkenntnistheoretisch/p031"},{"locus":"GA 35/die_psychologischen_grundlagen_und_die_erkenntnistheoretisch/p032","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/35/die_psychologischen_grundlagen_und_die_erkenntnistheoretisch/p032"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","anchors","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 35/die_psychologischen_grundlagen_und_die_erkenntnistheoretisch/p031","GA 35/die_psychologischen_grundlagen_und_die_erkenntnistheoretisch/p032"],"reader_part":true,"length_check":{"de_words":521,"en_words":676,"ratio":1.3,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.
