We have fear in our big toe, in our legs, in our belly—there is fear everywhere. This is not everywhere the case however. Fear does not normally rise above the diaphragm—it does so only when we have nightmares. Nevertheless, fear does have a role to play: it holds our organism together. It is in our bones that fear lives most strongly. The bones are strong and hard because a terrible fear lives in them. It is fear that holds the bones together. When we feel our bones too much, our bones get soft. Those children who were fearful at the time when their bones were not yet completely hardened, develop weak bones—a condition called rickets. It is possible to cure children with rickets by reducing their fear through some soul work. But it would be quite false to say that this fear in us is something of the soul: that we need only approach the fear in a somewhat higher manner in order to have an experience of a higher kind of knowledge. To enter this subject in the wrong way would not be good, for we would make ourselves sick in body and soul at the same time. We must do something entirely different.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IV.

In unserer großen Zehe, in den Beinen, in dem Bauche, überall steckt die Angst. Nur über das Zwerchfell traut sie sich nicht herauf, kommt nur herauf, wenn wir Angstträume haben. Aber in uns steckt die Angst. - Doch die Angst hat ihren guten Zweck; die hält unseren Organismus zusammen. Und in den Knochen, da steckt die allermeiste Angst. Die Knochen sind so fest, weil da eine furchtbar starke Angst drinnen steckt. Die Angst ist es, die die Knochen fest hält. In dem Augenblick, wo man zu stark seine Knochen spürt, kriegt man Knochenerweichung. Daher werden Sie bei ängstlichen Menschen, solchen, die schon in der Jugend ängstlich waren, wo die Knochen noch nicht hart sind, sehr leicht die Knochen weich sind, aber die Leute ängstlich sind, dies bestätigt finden, und man kann daher rachitische Kinder dadurch, daß man ihnen die Angst durch irgend etwas austreibt, namentlich auch auf seelische Weise heilen. Aber es wäre doch ganz falsch, wenn man sagen würde: Also steckt in uns die Angst, etwas Seelisches. Wir brauchen nur die Angst etwas höher herauf zu ziehen, dann könnten wir höhere Erkenntnisse kriegen. — Das wäre nicht gut, weil wir uns da zugleich seelisch und körperlich krank machen würden. Wir müssen vielmehr etwas anderes tun.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":214,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/350/1923-07-18/p009"}],"english":["GA 350/1923-07-18/p011"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":214,"en_words":210,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 350/1923-07-18/p009"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.97,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6103,"original_word_count":6295,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Mark Gardner and Walter Stuber","identified_edition":"AP1990","book_title":"Learning to See in the Spiritual World","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA350/English/AP1990/19230718p01.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.
