Everything develops from simple, very simple forms in the distant past to those forms that are so intricately interwoven that humans are still far from being able to comprehend them today. Spiritual science speaks above all of a development of human consciousness itself, and it is important that we follow the development of this human consciousness through its various stages. For this will cast a spotlight on certain chapters of the biblical records. What the vast majority of individuals today call consciousness is, for spiritual science, a state of consciousness that has developed from other forms of consciousness. We describe this present human state of consciousness as the so-called waking daytime consciousness, or also the object consciousness. Why? If we want to characterize this consciousness that a person has today from morning, when he wakes up, until evening, when he falls asleep, we have to say: This consciousness acquires its knowledge as follows: First, it acquires its perceptions of the objects through the external senses, of the objects in space and in the time around us, and our mind, which is limited to the sensory world, processes the perceptions that the human being receives through the external senses; and through such perceptions and such processing of perceptions in our conscious mind, we form the treasures of our knowledge, which are stored in our memory and guide and accompany us through life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"32.

Alles entwickelt sich von einfacher, ganz einfacher Gestalt in ferner Vergangenheit zu denjenigen Gestaltungen, die so kompliziert verwickelt sind, dass sie der Mensch heute noch lange nicht begreifen kann. So spricht die Geisteswissenschaft vor allem von einer Entwicklung des menschlichen Bewusstseins selbst, und das ist wichtig, dass wir die Entwicklung dieses menschlichen Bewusstseins einmal verfolgen durch ihre verschiedenen Stufen hindurch. Denn ein Streiflicht wird uns dadurch geworfen werden auf gewisse Kapitel der biblischen Urkunden. Das, was die Menschheit in ihrer weitaus größten Mehrzahl von Individuen heute Bewusstsein nennt, das ist für die Geisteswissenschaft ein Bewusstseinszustand, der sich aus andern Bewusstseinsformen entwickelt hat. Wir bezeichnen diesen heutigen menschlichen Bewusstseinszustand als das sogenannte wache Tagesbewusstsein, oder auch das Gegenstandsbewusstsein. Warum? Wenn wir charakterisieren wollen dieses Bewusstsein, das der Mensch heute hat von morgens, wenn er aufwacht, bis abends, wenn er einschläft, so müssen wir sagen: Dieses Bewusstsein erlangt seine Erkenntnis folgendermaßen: Es erlangt zunächst seine Wahrnehmungen von den Gegenständen durch die äußeren Sinne, von den Gegenständen im Raume und in der Zeit um uns herum, und unser auf die Sinneswelt beschränkter Verstand, der verarbeitet die Wahrnehmungen, die der Mensch erhält durch die äußeren Sinne; und durch solche Wahrnehmungen und solches Verarbeiten der Wahrnehmungen in unserem Verstandesbewusstsein bilden wir uns die Schätze unseres Wissens, die im Gedächtnis aufbewahrt werden, die uns durch das Leben führen und begleiten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":231,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/68a/1907-05-24/p006"}],"english":["GA 68a/1907-05-24/p006"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":231,"en_words":241,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7525,"original_word_count":7243,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Essence of Christianity","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA068a/English/SOL2024/19070524p01.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.
