When we experience happiness, when the soul plunges into this happiness, or even when it submerges into its successes, what then happens to human nature? Then, as it were, what is otherwise dormant in human nature tears itself out of the inner being, pursuing what penetrates into us from the outside in the form of happiness and success; the human being becomes estranged from his inner self, he ceases to be merely in himself. The human being enters into a foreign place. This becoming alien to oneself, this coming out of oneself, is what presents itself to us, as it were, as the one pendulum swing of human inner experience in happiness. When a person experiences pain, when he has failures, then the soul-spiritual, fleeing the pain, the failures, withdraws deeper into the inner being than it would have to ; it is then as if the soul contracts, so that the person does not lose themselves in the outer world, as they would in happiness and success, but withdraws into themselves. And since man is so constituted that he can only find peace and satisfaction in harmonious connection with the world, his contracted inner being brings him just as much out of harmony with life as he is estranged from his nature by being absorbed in happiness and success. This is the other pendulum swing of the human inner life in relation to a life of happiness and success: the desire to live entirely within oneself, to flee from the world because it wants to pour failure and pain over us. However, it is necessary for the overall human experience that the person has these two pendulum swings; it is only a matter of how he experiences them. If he does not experience them, then he even seeks them out. And I want to show, in the context of this reflection, how he can seek out this alienation, which we experience in the natural course of happiness, where man is no longer within himself, where he wants to merge into an element that is alienated from his actual self.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Wenn wir Glück erleben, wenn die Seele in dieses Glück hineintaucht, oder auch wenn sie in ihre Erfolge untertaucht, was geschieht dann mit der Menschennatur? Dann reißt sich gleichsam das, was in der Menschennatur sonst ruht, aus dem Inneren heraus, verfolgt das, was von außen an Glück und Erfolg in uns eindringt; der Mensch entfremdet sich seinem Innern, er hört auf bloß in sich zu sein. Der Mensch geht in ein Fremdes ein. Dieses Sichfremdwerden, dieses Außersichkommen ist das, was gleichsam wie der eine Pendelausschlag des menschlichen inneren Erlebens im Glück sich uns darstellt. Wenn der Mensch Schmerz erlebt, wenn er Mißerfolge hat, dann zieht das Geistig-Seelische, gleichsam den Schmerz, die Mißerfolge fliehend, sich tiefer in das Innere zurück, als es im regulären Daseinsverhältnis mit diesem Inneren zusammenleben müßte; es ist dann so, als ob das Geistig-Seelische sich gleichsam zusammenkrampft, so daß der Mensch sich nicht, wie im Glück und Erfolg, an die äußere Welt verliert, sondern sich gerade in sich zurückzieht. Und da nun der Mensch so veranlagt ist, daß er nur im harmonischen Zusammenhange mit der Welt seine Ruhe und seine Befriedigung finden kann, so bringt ihn sein zusammengekrampftes Innere ebenso aus seiner Harmonie mit dem Leben heraus, wie er durch das Aufgehen in Glück und Erfolg seinem Wesen entfremdet wird. Das ist der andere Pendelausschlag des menschlichen Innenlebens zu dem Leben in Glück und Erfolg: dieses ganz in sich leben wollen, daß man die Welt flieht, weil sie Mißerfolg, Schmerz über uns ausgießen will. Allerdings ist es zum gesamten menschlichen Erleben notwendig, daß der Mensch diese zwei Pendelausschläge hat; es handelt sich nur darum, wie er sie erlebt. Wenn er sie nicht erlebt, dann sucht er sie sogar. Und ich will, einfügend in diese Betrachtung, zeigen, wie er diese Entfremdung suchen kann, die wir im naturgemäßen Gang im Glück erfahren, wo also der Mensch nicht mehr in sich ist, wo er aufgehen will in einem Element, das seinem eigentlichen Ich entfremdet ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":350,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/64/1915-01-15/p013"}],"english":["GA 64/1915-01-15/p013"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":350,"en_words":382,"ratio":1.09,"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.
