If an organ connected with the will is impaired, the human being will be unable to translate his thoughts into impulses of will; he is weak as far as action is concerned. Although a person is well able to think, he cannot decide on action. Another disturbance may be that someone is unable to link thoughts and feelings correctly; this human cannot bring his feelings into harmony with the thoughts behind them.

This is right at certain stages of evolution. However, it must be born in mind that as far as a person is concerned, this harmony is established unconsciously. If a person is to be initiated, if he or she is to become capable of higher perception, then thinking, feeling and willing must be severed from one another. The organs connected with feeling and will must undergo division. Consequently, even if it cannot be proved anatomically, the organism of an initiate is different from that of a non-initiate. Because the contact between thinking, feeling and willing is severed, the initiate can see someone suffering without his feelings being roused; he can stand aside and coldly observe. The reason is that nothing must occur in the initiate unconsciously. An individual is compassionate out of his own free will, not because of some external compulsion. He becomes separated into human beings of feeling, a person of will and a thinking person; above these three is the ruler, the newfound individual, bringing them into harmony from a higher consciousness. Here too a death process, a destructive process must intervene; should this occur without a higher consciousness being attained, insanity would set in. Insanity is in fact a condition in which the three soul members have separated without being ruled by a higher consciousness.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":234,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/55/1906-11-08/p036","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1906-11-08","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 55/1906-11-08/p032","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/55/1906-11-08/p032"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","length_check":{"de_words":280,"en_words":234,"ratio":0.84,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Dies ist alles richtig für gewisse Stufen der Entwicklung. Es ist aber zu beachten, daß sich diese Harmonie im Gegenwartsmenschen unbewußt herstellt. Soll der Mensch aber eingeweiht werden, soll er hineinsehen in die höheren Welten, dann müssen diese drei Glieder: Denken, Fühlen und Wollen, auseinandergerissen werden. Die Willens- und Gefühlsorgane müssen eine Scheidung erleiden. Der physische Organismus eines Eingeweihten ist daher auch anders als der eines Nichteingeweihten, wenn das die Anatomie auch noch nicht hat nachweisen können. Der Kontakt zwischen Denken, Fühlen und Wollen ist unterbrochen. Der Eingeweihte wäre imstande, irgend jemand tief leiden zu sehen, ohne daß sich ein Gefühl in ihm regte, kalt würde er stehenbleiben und es ansehen können. Und warum ist dies so? Es darf sich beim Eingeweihten nichts unbewußt ineinandergliedern, er ist aus Freiheit ein mitleidsvoller Mensch und nicht, weil ihn etwas ÄAußeres dazu zwingt. Das ist der Unterschied zwischen einem Eingeweihten und einem Nichteingeweihten. Ein solches höheres Bewußtsein schafft gleichsam eine höhere Substanz, und der Mensch zerfällt in einen Gefühls-, einen Willens- und einen Denkmenschen. Über diesen dreien thront dann erst der höhere, neugeborene Mensch, und von dieser Stufe eines höheren Bewußtseins aus werden dann jene drei in Einklang gebracht. Hier muß dann auch wieder der Tod, die Zerstörung eingreifen. Träte diese Zerstörung so ein, daß nicht zugleich auch ein neues Bewußtsein entsproßte, dann würde Wahnsinn entstehen. Wahnsinn würde also nichts anderes sein als der Zustand, in dem das menschliche Wesen zerschellt ist, ohne daß die höhere, bewußte Instanz geschaffen worden ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":280,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/55/1906-11-08/p032"}],"beads":[{"from":[35],"to":[31],"confidence":"medium"},{"from":[36],"to":[32],"confidence":"medium"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
