When we consider all the human ideas that we realize in the smallest and largest of things, whether it is an everyday idea or the idea of an inventor who invents a machine, for example, we have the resounding, productive, creative work of man in mind. First we have the idea, then we have what is the external expression of this idea or the consequence of the idea. We see what arises in us, what has not yet been thought in the world, springing from our I. We see our innermost being emerge in our everyday activities, in the activities that we can describe as the realization of the great ideas of the inventors. First there is the thought, we do not reflect on the thought, the sensory phenomenon is not there first, the thought is there first, in which the sensory phenomenon comes to us through our own action, we are the forethinkers and we are the ones who, after our forethought, enter the world creatively ; there we feel our I growing stronger on the other side; there we feel how the essence of our I has flowed out, feel that which we can call our selfhood; through which we become capable of seeing realized that which the I first experiences outside in the surrounding of our existence. There we feel that side of the I where we do not merge into something that exists without the I, but on the contrary, there we feel our inner activity, our selfhood. [Our I is in our deeds, our works, just as it has also worked first in our thoughts.] As a forward thinker, the I is truly cultivating its selfhood; as a backward thinker, the I is truly cultivating its selflessness. And in these two components of the entire inner life, the truth within our work and striving in the world confronts us as reflected truth and as thought-out truth.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XXXI.

Wenn wir alles dasjenige, was wir an menschlichen Ideen im Kleinsten und im Größten verwirklichen, vor unsere Seele hinstellen, gleichgültig, ob es eine alltägliche Idee ist oder ob es die Idee eines Erfinders ist, der eine Maschine zum Beispiel erfindet, da haben wir die schallende, die produktive, die schöpferische Arbeit des Menschen im Auge. Da haben wir zuerst die Idee, dann haben wir dasjenige, was der äußere Ausdruck dieser Idee oder die Folge der Idee ist. Wir sehen dasjenige, was in uns entsteht, was noch nicht in der Welt vorgedacht ist, aus unserem Ich heraus entspringen. Wir sehen unser Innerstes heraustreten in unseren alltäglichen Verrichtungen, in den Verrichtungen, die wir bezeichnen können als die Realisierung der großen Ideen der Erfinder. Da haben wir zuerst den Gedanken, da denken wir den Gedanken nicht nach, da ist die sinnliche Erscheinung nicht zuerst da, da ist der Gedanke zuerst da, darin tritt die sinnliche Erscheinung durch unsere eigene Tat uns entgegen, da sind wir die Vordenker und da sind wir diejenigen, die nach unserem Vorgedachten selber schöpferisch in die Welt treten, da fühlen wir unser Ich nach der anderen Seite erstarken; da fühlen wir, wie die Wesenheit unseres Ichs hinausgeflossen ist, fühlen dasjenige, was wir unsere Selbstheit nennen können; wodurch wir imstande werden, dasjenige, was das Ich zuerst im Umkreis unseres Daseins draußen erlebt, verwirklicht zu sehen. Da fühlen wir jene Seite des Ichs, wo wir nicht aufgehen in etwas, was ohne das Ich da ist, sondern im Gegenteil, da fühlen wir unsere innere Aktivität, unsere Selbstheit. [Unser Ich ist in unseren Taten, unseren Werken ebenso darinnen, wie es auch zuerst in unseren Gedanken gearbeitet hat.] Als Vordenker ist das Ich so recht kultivierend seine Selbstheit; als Nachdenker ist das Ich so recht kultivierend seine Selbstlosigkeit. Und in diesen beiden Bestandteilen des gesamten Innenlebens tritt uns die Wahrheit innerhalb unseres Wirkens und Strebens in der Welt entgegen als nachgedachte Wahrheit und als vorgedachte Wahrheit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":337,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/68c/1909-12-06/p018"}],"english":["GA 68c/1909-12-06/p018"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":337,"en_words":335,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10593,"original_word_count":10222,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Goethe and the Present","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA068c/English/SOL2024/19091206p01.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.
