We drift along in this stream of life between our birth and our death, as it were. I would like to start with a comparison that illustrates this drifting along in the stream of life. When we sit in a train and travel along, looking out the window, it seems to us, at least at first, especially if we are not yet accustomed to traveling by train, as if the trees and houses were passing by, moving past us. — This is roughly how a person lives, traveling the journey of life with their worldviews and perceptions of life, in relation to the luck and misfortune, successes and failures of life. For how do luck and misfortune, successes and failures affect human nature? Just as human nature is initially conditioned by what it can draw from the physical world, so do happiness and unhappiness, success and failure, work in such a way that they always carry with them, as it were, our sense of the world, our sense of existence, that the world itself seems to pass before us in our feelings and sensations, depending on whether we experience suffering or pain in it. And just as we must first get used to traveling in the physical world in order to have the right point of view during this journey with regard to what only seemingly moves past us outside, so it is up to the human being to gain the right point of view in order to that he may remain calm in his feeling for the world, in his sense of existence — calm in the spiritual world, when happiness and sorrow, when success or failure seek to show him the sense of the world, the feeling of existence, in motion, in seeming motion.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Wir fahren zwischen unserer Geburt und unserem Tode gleichsam dahin in diesem Strome des Lebens. Von einem Vergleiche möchte ich ausgehen, der dieses Dahinfahren im Strome des Lebens veranschaulichen soll. - Wenn wir in einem Eisenbahnzuge sitzen und so hinfahren und zum Fenster hinaussehen, dann erscheint es uns zunächst, namentlich wenn wir das Fahren in der Eisenbahn noch nicht gewohnt sind, wie wenn die Bäume und die Häuser an uns vorüberziehen würden, sich an uns vorüberbewegen würden. — So etwa lebt der Mensch, fortreisend die Lebensreise mit seinen Weltanschauungen und Lebensempfindungen, gegenüber dem Glück und dem Unglück, gegenüber Erfolgen und Mißerfolgen des Lebens. Denn wie wirken Glück und Unglück, Erfolge und Mißerfolge auf die menschliche Natur? Wie die menschliche Natur zunächst durch das, was sie aus der physischen Welt ziehen kann, veranlagt ist, so wirken Glück und Unglück, Erfolg und Mißerfolg in der Weise, daß sie gleichsam unsere Weltempfindung, unser Daseinsgefühl immer mit sich reißen, daß uns in unseren Gefühlen und Empfindungen die Welt selbst vorüberzuziehen scheint, je nachdem wir in ihr Leid oder Schmerz erfahren. Und wie wir uns erst gewöhnen müssen an das Dahinfahren in der physischen Welt, um während dieses Dahinfahrens den richtigen Gesichtspunkt zu haben gegenüber dem, was draußen nur scheinbar sich an uns vorüberbewegt, so ist es am Menschen, den richtigen Gesichtspunkt zu gewinnen, um im Lebensstrome so dahinzufahren, daß er mit seinem Weltgefühl, mit seiner Daseinsempfindung ruhig zu bleiben vermag — ruhig in der geistigen Welt, wenn Glück und Leid, wenn Erfolg oder Mißerfolg ihm die Weltempfindung, das Daseinsgefühl in Bewegung, in scheinbarer Bewegung zeigen wollen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":272,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/64/1915-01-15/p006"}],"english":["GA 64/1915-01-15/p006"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":272,"en_words":307,"ratio":1.13,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9274,"original_word_count":8779,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"From a Fateful Time","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA064/English/SOL2024/19150115p01.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.
