In such a moment, what has been characterized comes to mind: the alienation of the soul from itself. And what a person has enjoyed in happiness and success, what he has just gone through, he sees sinking, so to speak, and sinking so much that he cannot hold on to it because he does not have the strength to hold on to it. That we lose ourselves in life when we steer into happiness and success without spiritual knowledge can come to our soul in a very special way through such a waking up. For we recognize through spiritual science that the moments we achieve in happiness and success can only become truly strengthening forces for our eternal self, passing through the gate of death into eternity, if we do not lose ourselves but maintain ourselves in the experience of happiness. Spiritual science is not intended to sour or begrudge man happiness; spiritual science does not want to take away or weaken an ounce of happiness and joy. But what it does want to point out is that happiness that is experienced without the characterized connection with the world cannot connect with the deepest forces of our ego. For anyone who goes through the world without spiritual knowledge, unstrengthened in relation to his I, derives nothing from happiness but only a longing for new happiness, and from this in turn only a longing for further happiness. He does not derive from the one experience of happiness the strengthening forces for all subsequent life. But he who carries into happiness those powers that open up to him when he seeks spiritual knowledge draws from happiness sustaining, invigorating strength, which he carries into his ego because he has strengthened it through spiritual science; and he carries with him for all eternity what happiness and success can give him.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

In einem solchen Augenblick tritt das vor die Seele, was charakterisiert worden ist: das Entfremdetwerden der Seele vor sich selber. Und was der Mensch im Glück, im Erfolg genossen hat, was er eben noch durchgemacht hat, das sieht er gleichsam versinken, und so versinken, daß er es nicht halten kann, weil er die Kraft nicht hat, es zu halten. Daß wir im Leben uns verlieren, wenn wir, ohne Geist-Erkenntnis, ins Glück und in den Erfolg hineinsteuern, das kann durch ein solches Aufwachen ganz besonders vor unsere Seele treten. Denn diejenigen Momente — das erkennt man durch die Geisteswissenschaft —, die wir in Glück und Erfolg erringen, können nur dann zu wirklich stärkenden Kräften unseres ewigen, durch die Pforte des Todes in die Ewigkeit übergehenden Ich werden, wenn wir uns nicht verlieren, sondern uns im Erleben des Glückes erhalten. Geisteswissenschaft ist nicht dazu angetan, dem Menschen das Glück zu versauern oder zu verargen; kein Quentchen von Glück und Freude will die Geisteswissenschaft dem Menschen nehmen oder abschwächen. Worauf sie aber hindeuten will, ist, daß das Glück, welches ohne den charakterisierten Zusammenhang mit der Welt durchlebt wird, sich nicht verbinden kann in seinen Wirkungen mit den tiefsten Kräften unseres Ich. Denn für den, welcher so durch die Welt geht, daß er — ohne Geist-Erkenntnis — ungestärkt ist in bezug auf sein Ich, kommt weiter nichts aus dem Glück heraus als nur die Sehnsucht nach neuem Glück, und aus diesem wiederum nur Sehnsucht nach weiterem Glück. Er nimmt nicht aus dem einen Glückserlebnis die stärkenden Kräfte mit für alles folgende Leben. Wer aber in das Glück diejenigen Kräfte hineinträgt, die sich ihm erschließen, wenn er geistige Erkenntnis sucht, der saugt aus dem Glück erhaltende, belebende Kraft, die er in sein Ich hineinträgt, weil er es durch die Geisteswissenschaft gestärkt hat; und er trägt, was ihm Glück und Erfolg geben können, für alle Ewigkeiten mit sich.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":327,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/64/1915-01-15/p020"}],"english":["GA 64/1915-01-15/p020"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":327,"en_words":322,"ratio":0.98,"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.
