On the one hand, we can escape and ascend to the spirit by becoming conscious of our true self, by feeling the formative forces body as we otherwise feel the physical body, thereby seeing the supersensible in the outer world. But then we come to an even higher conception of our I, then we come to the realization of why this I is hidden from ordinary consciousness: basically, this I springs from the ordinary soul life as little as the air we breathe comes from the lungs. Anyone who believes that the true I is somehow produced inside the body believes the same thing in this area as someone who believes that breath is somehow produced in the lungs. No, our true I is inside the world that we take in imaginatively. There we find the I on the one hand by awakening it, by bringing it beyond mere sensory perception to the supersensible. In this self we find one side of the eternal, the side that shows us the seed of all that we will become when we pass through the gate of death and live our way into the spiritual world, in order to return to subsequent earthly lives.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Auf der einen Seite können wir dadurch hinauskommen und zum Geiste aufsteigen, daß wir, nachdem wir uns in unserm eigentlichen Ich bewußt geworden sind, indem wir den Bildekräfte-Leib erfühlen, wie wir sonst den physischen Leib erfühlen, dadurch in der äußeren Welt das Übersinnliche sehen. Dann kommen wir aber zu einer noch höheren Vorstellung von unserm Ich, dann kommen wir zu der Erkenntnis, warum für das gewöhnliche Bewußtsein dieses Ich sich verbirgt: Im Grunde genommen entspringt dieses Ich so wenig aus dem gewöhnlichen Seelenleben heraus, wie aus der Lunge die Luft kommt, die wir atmen. Wer da glaubt, daß das wahre Ich drinnen im Leibe irgendwie erzeugt wird, glaubt auf diesem Gebiete dasselbe wie der, der glaubt, daß der Atem irgendwie aus der Lunge erzeugt werde. Nein, unser wahres Ich ist in der Welt drinnen, die wir imaginativ aufnehmen. Da finden wir auf der einen Seite das Ich, indem wir es zum Erwachen bringen, es über die bloße Sinneswahrnehmung zum Übersinnlichen bringen. In diesem Ich finden wir die eine Seite des Ewigen, jene Seite, die uns den Keim zu alle dem zeigt, was aus uns wird, wenn wir durch die Pforte des Todes durchgehen und uns in die geistige Welt hineinleben, um zu folgenden Erdenleben zurückzukehren.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":216,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/67/1918-02-07/p024"}],"english":["GA 67/1918-02-07/p024"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":216,"en_words":211,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8485,"original_word_count":8069,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2018","book_title":"The Eternal in the Human Soul","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA067/English/SOL2018/19180207p01.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.
