Especially with this people it should not mix, it should keep itself separate from the other peoples, so that the same blood runs down through generations and generations. Why is that so? We can understand that too, if we visualize the changes in the state of mind. Clairvoyance – whether it is the old, pictorial kind or the kind that is often described here, which the modern person can achieve by going through the appropriate exercises – clairvoyance is always tied to the person's spiritual part being able to become independent of their physical body, that they can, in a sense, draw their spiritual part out of their physical body. What the clairvoyant experiences, he experiences only through the tool of the soul, which frees itself, as it were, goes out of physical corporeality. The modern materialist will regard this as foolishness from the outset; he cannot believe that all the activity of his soul is bound to the physical brain. But clairvoyance is not bound to the brain, but takes place in the life of the soul without the brain. Only experience can confirm this, and anyone who does not have this experience can refute it with a thousand seemingly sufficient reasons, much like a blind person can refute the existence of colors. But that is not the point. According to the principles of today's research, one should admit that only experience can decide. So clairvoyance is dependent on the spiritual part of the human being freeing itself from the instruments of the physical body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IX.

Gerade bei diesem Volke soll es sich nicht vermischen, es soll sich abgetrennt von den anderen Völkern halten, so daß dasselbe Blut durch Generationen und Generationen hinunterrinnt. Warum ist das so? Auch das können wir verstehen, wenn wir die Umschwünge der Seelenverfassung uns vor Augen führen. Hellsehen - ob es nun das alte, bildhafte ist oder das hier öfters geschilderte, zu dem sich der moderne Mensch erheben kann, wenn er die entsprechenden Übungen durchmacht -, Hellsehen ist immer daran gebunden, daß der Mensch mit seinem geistigen Teil unabhängig werden kann von seiner physischen Körperlichkeit, daß er also in gewisser Weise seinen geistigen Teil herauszichen kann aus der physischen Körperlichkeit. Was der Hellseher erlebt, erlebt er ja nur durch das Werkzeug der Seele, die sich frei macht, gleichsam herausgeht aus der physischen Körperlichkeit. Das wird der moderne Materialist von vornherein als eine Torheit ansehen; er kann nichts anderes glauben, als daß alle seine Seelentätigkeit an das physische Gehirn gebunden ist. Aber Hellsehen ist nicht an das Gehirn gebunden, sondern verläuft im Seelenleben ohne das Gehirn. Das kann nur die Erfahrung bestätigen, und das kann derjenige, der diese Erfahrung nicht hat, mit tausenderlei, scheinbar ganz genügenden Gründen widerlegen, etwa so, wie ein Blinder widerlegen kann, daß es Farben gibt. Aber darauf kommt es nicht an. Man sollte nach den Prinzipien der heutigen Forschung zugeben, daß da nur Erfahrung entscheiden kann. Also Hellsehen ist daran gebunden, daß der geistige Teil des Menschen sich frei macht von den Instrumenten des physischen Leibes.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":279,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/69b/1911-02-13/p035"}],"english":["GA 69b/1911-02-13/p034"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":279,"en_words":288,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7359,"original_word_count":7120,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Knowledge and Immortality","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA069b/English/SOL2024/19110213p01.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.
