Those who continue to attend this or that lecture here will see that individual questions can also be addressed on other occasions. This lecture will also have shown you that Spiritual Science is something that also has an effect on the most material needs of life. Spiritual Science is something that can be an ideal for the future of humanity. Today, when we see how substances combine and separate in the human being, we often say: it is like in a retort, and we believe that we can find something healing for human beings in it. But a time will come when what has been said about light and the astral body will also be evident to those who conduct research in the laboratory. Can't someone also make the usual chemical observations when they tell themselves that here, in the smallest detail, the greatest thing is at work, which permeates the external physical sunlight and shines into the spiritual realm of human consciousness? Thus, these things will be investigated in the light that gives us an overview of the whole.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Questions Regarding Nutrition in the Light of Spiritual Science","site_heading":null,"date":"1908-12-17","location":null,"word_count":212,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/57/1908-12-17/p026","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"eLib2014","book_title":"Where and How Does One Find the Spirit?","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA057/English/eLib2014/19081217p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["English"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/57/1908-12-17/p026"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/57/1908-12-17/p026","paragraph_aligned":true}],"record":{"record_type":"unknown","scope":"volume","note":"How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here.

Wer weiterhin diesen oder jenen Vortrag hier besuchen wird, der wird sehen, daß auf einzelne Fragen auch bei anderen Gelegenheiten eingegangen werden kann. Auch dieser Vortrag wird Ihnen gezeigt haben, daß die Geisteswissenschaft etwas ist, das auch auf die allermateiellsten Bedürfnisse des Lebens seine Wirkung hat. Geisteswissenschaft ist etwas, was ein Ideal sein kann für die Menschenzukunft. Heute wird man wohl noch oft sagen, wenn man sieht, wie die Stoffe sich im Menschen verbinden und trennen: Es ist wie in einer Retorte, und man wird glauben, daß man darin etwas Heilsames finden kann für die Menschen. Aber eine Zeit wird kommen, wo das, was über das Licht und den Astralleib gesagt ist, auch dem vor Augen stehen wird, der im Laboratorium forscht. Kann denn nicht auch jemand die gewöhnlichen Beobachtungen chemischer Art machen, wenn er sich sagt, daß hier ins Kleinste herein das Größte wirkt, was das äußere physische Sonnenlicht durchzieht, und was bis ins Geistige hinein im menschlichen Bewußtsein leuchtet? So wird man diese Dinge durchforschen in dem Lichte, das uns einen Überblick gibt über das Ganze.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":207,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/57/1908-12-17/p026"}],"english":["GA 57/1908-12-17/p026"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":207,"en_words":212,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4885,"original_word_count":4815,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"eLib2014","book_title":"Where and How Does One Find the Spirit?","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA057/English/eLib2014/19081217p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 57/1908-12-17/p026"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"medium","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
