But this watching now presents itself in such a way that one feels inwardly complicit with this spectator, this higher human being in the human being, this spiritual human being in the physical human being. One feels how he participates, how his doing is in everything, in everything. I called this inner participation an observer because it helps one to understand him; but he is not an observer in the sense of watching, but in the sense of participating. We feel the human being who passes through the gate of death even now in our body, if we bring ourselves to make him active in us in this way. But then we must call this inner activity, if we have called the other “clairvoyance”, “clairaudience”. “Mental ears”, to use a word from Goethe again, arise in the depths of the soul. One lives, so to speak, in a world of audible, spiritual vibrations, which one knows corresponds to inner reality. One knows that one is directly spiritual essence and can now enter into the “company” — to use this trivial word — of the other spirit beings that are in the spiritual world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Aber dieses Zuschauen stellt sich jetzt so dar, daß man innerlich mittätig fühlt diesen Zuschauer, diesen höheren Menschen im Menschen, diesen Geistesmenschen im Leibesmenschen. Man fühlt, wie er mittut, wie sein Tun in allem, allem darin ist. Ich nannte dieses innerliche Mittun einen Beobachter, weil man dadurch zu seinem Verständnis kommt; aber es ist nicht ein Beobachter im Sinne des Zuschauens, sondern im Sinne des Mittuns. Den Menschen, der durch die Todespforte schreitet, fühlen wir schon jetzt in unserem Leibe, wenn wir uns auf diese Weise dazu bringen, daß er in uns tätig ist. Aber wir müssen dann diese innere Tätigkeit, wenn wir das andere «Hellsichtigkeit» genannt haben, «Hellhörigkeit» nennen. «Geistesohren», um wieder ein Goethe-Wort zu gebrauchen, gehen auf im Innern der Seele. Man lebt sozusagen in einem nur geistig vernehmbaren schwingenden Tönen, von dem man weiß, daß es innerlicher Realität entspricht. Man weiß, daß man selber unmittelbar geistige Wesenheit ist und sich nun begeben kann in die «Gesellschaft» — um dieses triviale Wort zu gebrauchen — der anderen Geistwesen, die in der geistigen Welt sind.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":254,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/65/1915-12-10/p013"}],"english":["GA 65/1915-12-10/p013"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":254,"en_words":274,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":11977,"original_word_count":11532,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"From Central European Intellectual Life","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA065/English/SOL2024/19151210p01.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.
