To make this clear in the simplest possible way, I will once more refer to the fact that, through spiritual science, it can be investigated that every time a person falls asleep, his higher being — his I and his astral body — is sent into a spiritual world. In this spiritual world, he is initially unable to perceive anything. But what he sends into this spiritual world really contains at least a large part of what spiritual science wants to draw from the deep sources of existence for daily life from the deep sources of existence. Man is only so constituted in his everyday life that unconsciousness covers what rests in his soul when he is in a dormant state outside his physical and etheric bodies; and when he, upon awakening, carries his ego and his astral body into his physical body and ether body, then this I and this astral body are filled with impressions from external perception, with what the material world transmits to us. The soul is then surrendered to the outer world; and just as during the night unconsciousness dawns on what rests in the depths of the soul, so during the day it is what comes to us in the way of impressions from the material outer world. But does everything that spiritual science wants to bring to human consciousness really rest in the depths of the soul? There is now a law, an important, essential law, which will gradually be recognized as governing all of existence: that which can be beneficial in one state can have a destructive effect when it asserts itself in another state, as it were in another place.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":316,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/64/1915-01-15/p009","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1915-01-15","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 64/1915-01-15/p009","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/64/1915-01-15/p009"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"],"length_check":{"de_words":312,"en_words":316,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

They rest in what man releases into the spiritual world when he sleeps, stir in this inner being, and bring insecurity to man in his behavior, a lack of direction in life. When these forces are brought up into consciousness, when they are transformed into conscious knowledge, concepts and ideas, then they become beneficial, then they become healing, then they give the person direction and goal, peace and security in life. It is a peculiar law, and it must be admitted, it is a difficult law to understand. But it is true nevertheless: if what spiritual science gives can give the spiritual knower deep satisfaction when it enters his consciousness, it is an unsettling element, an unsettling force, if it only rests below, unconsciously, in the dark regions of the soul. If it rests unconsciously in these regions, which spiritual science wants to raise to clear knowledge, then it remains without influence on the human ego; then it surges and billows in the subconscious, then it cannot have any influence on what the person experiences in terms of happiness and pain, of successes and failures. Then man can bring only that part of his nature into successes and failures, into happiness and pain, which goes along with happiness and pain in such a way that the soul loses itself in happiness, that it sinks in pain, becomes numbed by its successes, filled with pain by its failures. Then the soul goes everywhere with us, then it rocks and floats in the stream of life. But when the soul's powers of knowledge about the spiritual world, which lie dormant down there in the dark regions, are brought up into the ego, so that this ego can take the spiritual knowledge with it when life smiles on us in happiness, when life suffering and pain, then the I no longer rocks and swims in happiness and unhappiness in the stream of life; then it carries a strengthened inner being into happiness and unhappiness, into pain and suffering, and happiness and pain are then experienced differently.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":355,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/64/1915-01-15/p010","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1915-01-15","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 64/1915-01-15/p010","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/64/1915-01-15/p010"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"],"length_check":{"de_words":342,"en_words":355,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Um das in der einfachsten Weise klarzumachen, will ich noch einmal auf die Tatsache zurückgreifen, die durch die Geisteswissenschaft erforscht werden kann: daß der Mensch mit jedem Einschlafen sein höheres Wesen — sein Ich und seinen astralischen Leib — in eine geistige Welt hineinsendet. In dieser geistigen Welt vermag er zunächst nichts wahrzunehmen. Aber das, was er in diese geistige Welt hineinschickt, enthält wirklich, wenigstens einen großen Teil desjenigen — und ist zum großen Teil aus dem zusammengesetzt, — was die Geisteswissenschaft für das tagwache Leben aus den tiefen Quellen des Daseins hervorholen will. Der Mensch ist nur im Alltagsleben so eingerichtet, daß ihm Bewußtlosigkeit zudeckt, was in seiner Seele ruht, wenn er im schlafenden Zustande außerhalb seines physischen Leibes und Ätherleibes ist; und wenn er beim Aufwachen sein Ich und seinen astralischen Leib hineinträgt in den physischen Leib und Ätherleib, dann werden dieses Ich und dieser astralische Leib von dem ausgefüllt, was an Eindrücken aus der äußeren Wahrnehmung kommt, was die materielle Welt uns überliefert. Die Seele ist dann hingegeben an die Außenwelt; und wie in der Nacht die Bewußtlosigkeit dasjenige herabdämmert, was in den Tiefen der Seele ruht, so ist es während des Tages das, was uns an Eindrücken von der materiellen Außenwelt kommt. Aber es ruht in den Tiefen der Seele wirklich alles, was die geistige Wissenschaft dem Menschen zum Bewußtsein bringen will. — Es herrscht nun ein Gesetz, ein wichtiges, wesentliches Gesetz, von dem man allmählich erkennen wird, daß es im Grunde genommen das ganze Dasein beherrscht: Dasjenige, was in einem Zustande segensvoll sein kann, das kann verderblich wirken, wenn es in einem anderen Zustande, gleichsam an einem anderen Orte sich geltend macht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":312,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/64/1915-01-15/p009"},{"locus":"GA 64/1915-01-15/p010","passage_number":10,"text":"In dem, was dem Menschen für sein materielles Bewußtsein verborgen bleibt, ruhen unsichtbare übersinnliche Kräfte. Sie ruhen in dem, was der Mensch im Schlafe in die geistige Welt entläßt, rumoren in diesem Innern, bringen dem Menschen in seinem Verhalten Unsicherheit, Richtungslosigkeit im Leben. Werden diese Kräfte heraufgeholt in die Bewußtheit, werden sie umgewandelt in bewußte Erkenntnisse, Begriffe und Vorstellungen, dann werden sie segensreich, dann werden sie heilsam, dann geben sie dem Menschen Richtung und Ziel, Ruhe und Sicherheit im Leben. Es ist das ein eigentümliches Gesetz, und es ist zuzugeben, es ist ein schwierig einzusehendes Gesetz. Aber wahr ist es doch: wenn das, was die Geisteswissenschaft gibt, dem geistigen Erkenner tiefe Befriedigung gewähren kann, wenn es in sein Bewußtsein tritt, so ist es ein unsicher machendes Element, eine unsicher machende Kraft, wenn es nur unten, unbewußt, in den dunklen Regionen der Seele ruht. Ruht es unbewußt in diesen Regionen, was die Geisteswissenschaft zur lichten Erkenntnis erheben will, dann bleibt es ohne Einfluß auf das menschliche Ich; dann wallt und wogt es im Unterbewußten, dann kann es keinen Einfluß haben auf das, was der Mensch erlebt an Glück und Schmerz, an Erfolgen und Mißerfolgen. Dann kann der Mensch nur denjenigen Teil seines Wesens in Erfolge und Mißerfolge, in Glück und Schmerz hineinbringen, der mitgeht mit Glück und Schmerz so, daß die Seele im Glück sich verliert, daß sie im Schmerz versinkt, durch ihre Erfolge betäubt, durch ihre Mißerfolge schmerzerfüllt wird. Dann geht die Seele überall mit, dann schaukelt und schwimmt sie im Strome des Lebens. Wird aber das, was da unten in den dunklen Regionen der Seele an Erkenntniskräften über die geistige Welt ruht, in das Ich heraufgeholt, so daß dieses Ich die geistigen Erkenntnisse mitnehmen kann, wenn das Leben uns lächelt im Glück, wenn das Leben uns Schmerz und Leid bereitet, dann schaukelt und schwimmt das Ich nicht mehr im Glück und Unglück in dem Strom des Lebens; dann trägt es ein gestärktes Inneres in das Glück und Unglück, in Schmerz und Leid hinein, und Glück und Schmerz werden dann anders erlebt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":342,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/64/1915-01-15/p010"}],"beads":[{"from":[9],"to":[9],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified"},{"from":[10],"to":[10],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
