The same is true of the feeling of shame. Here again we have a redistribution of blood, a change in circulation under the influence of a spiritual factor. What we see here on a small scale and what we can observe on a larger scale when tears flow from the eyes as a result of a sad event shows that the soul can be the cause of physical processes. Of course, under the influence of our not obvious but secret materialistic way of thinking, there are people today who also assert materialistic views here. I have already quoted here the saying of a certain worldview: One does not cry because one is sad, but one is sad because one cries. This saying actually originated from someone who thought idealistically, but it has been misinterpreted. These are fully developed materialistic ways of thinking. Anyone who has preserved a degree of sound thinking from the materialistic basis of our time will see in such obvious connections between physical facts and spiritual-soul facts something that can gradually lead them to understand that Spiritual Science must say from its point of view: Everything, everything material has a spiritual origin.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Invisible Elements of Human Nature and Practical Life","site_heading":null,"date":"1909-02-18","location":null,"word_count":208,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/57/1909-02-18/p005","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:structural_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/eLib2014/19090218p01.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/57/1909-02-18/p005"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/57/1909-02-18/p005","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.

Das, was man hier im kleinen sieht und was man im größeren Maßstabe beobachten kann, wenn infolge eines traurigen Ereignisses Tränen aus den Augen fließen, zeigt, daß das Seelische Ursache sein kann für körperliche Vorgänge. Freilich gibt es heute unter dem Einfluß unserer nicht offensichtlichen, sondern geheimen materialistischen Denkweise Leute, die auch hier materialistische Anschauungen geltend machen. Ich habe auch hier schon den Ausspruch einer gewissen Weltanschauung angeführt: Man weint nicht, weil man traurig ist, sondern man ist traurig, weil man weint. Dieser Ausspruch ist eigentlich ausgegangen von jemand, der idealistisch dachte, aber er ist verkehrt gedeutet worden. Das sind ausgewachsene materialistische Denkungsweisen. Wer sich aus der materialistischen Grundlage unserer Zeit ein Stück gesunden Denkens gerettet hat, der wird in solchen offensichtlichen Zusammenhängen zwischen physischen Tatsachen und geistig-seelischen Tatsachen etwas sehen, was ihn allmählich dazu bringen kann, zu verstehen, daß die Geisteswissenschaft von ihrem Standpunkt aus sagen muß: Alles, alles Materielle hat geistigen Ursprung.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":186,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/57/1909-02-18/p005"}],"english":["GA 57/1909-02-18/p005"],"method":"structural_identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"unverified","length_check":{"de_words":186,"en_words":208,"ratio":1.12,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4098,"original_word_count":3971,"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/eLib2014/19090218p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 57/1909-02-18/p005"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"medium","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
