For with good reason — and I ask you to note that I say with good reason — the words “clairvoyance”, “clairaudience” and so on are widely disregarded and regarded as something that, in any case, does not can lead to a better knowledge of reality than ordinary thinking and imagining, but which, on the contrary, must lead away into all kinds of fantasies, all kinds of daydreams, yes, into a morbid way of thinking that is precisely the opposite of true reality. But here too, spiritual science not only stands on the same ground as natural science, but on the contrary: true spiritual science draws precisely the very utmost conclusions. And what has been characterized here in this context, and for which the words “clairvoyance” and “clairaudience” have been used, which are simply there, has absolutely nothing to do with what is often called that in ordinary life; I would now like to illustrate how this has nothing to do with it, perhaps in a far-fetched way.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Denn mit Recht — und ich bitte zu beachten, daß ich sage mit Recht — sind die Worte «Hellsichtigkeit», «Hellhörigkeit» und so weiter in weitesten Kreisen mißachtet und als etwas angesehen, was im Grunde genommen jedenfalls nicht zu einer besseren Erkenntnis der Wirklichkeit führen kann als das gewöhnliche Denken und Vorstellen, sondern was im Gegenteil in allerlei Phantastisches, in allerlei Träumereien, ja, in krankhafter Weise eben wegführen muß von der wahren Wirklichkeit. Aber auch hier steht Geisteswissenschaft nicht nur auf demselben Boden wie die Naturwissenschaft, sondern im Gegenteil: wahre Geisteswissenschaft zieht gerade die alleräußersten Konsequenzen. Und was in diesem Zusammenhange hier charakterisiert worden ist und wofür die Worte «Hellsichtigkeit», «Hellhörigkeit», die nun einmal da sind, gebraucht worden sind, das hat eben ganz und gar nichts mit demjenigen zu tun, was oftmals im gewöhnlichen Leben also genannt wird; inwiefern dies damit nichts zu tun hat, möchte ich jetzt durch eine Auseinandersetzung, die vielleicht weit hergeholt ist, veranschaulichen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":193,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/65/1915-12-10/p014"}],"english":["GA 65/1915-12-10/p014"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":193,"en_words":206,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","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.
