And if there is no possibility to show that what emerges is really present, if there is no possibility to show that a person can experience themselves outside of the body, then there can be no real proof for what spiritual science says. The one who wants to be a spiritual scientist must provide this proof, and it is impossible to look into the spiritual world, it is impossible to gain knowledge in the spiritual world, so that what is submerged in sleep [in the spiritual world] is activated in the human being as his own human soul-being, is enlivened, is raised to consciousness even when it is separated from the body. The spiritual researcher must undergo this as a development of his spiritual-soul nature in order to arrive at a [new] perception. The spiritual researcher must learn to perceive, to communicate with the spiritual-soul being, of which the human being in ordinary life knows nothing, of which he must say: Even if it is my lot to experience it, I do not know it. This implies that something could occur to the spiritual researcher that would be similar to the state of sleep [and] yet radically different. Let us assume that the hypothesis is correct; then one could say: During sleep, the human being leaves his physical body. The conscious life ceases, the [sense] organs fail to function, so the state of sleep is [constituted] by the human soul becoming [apparently] unconscious, sinking into the darkness of sleep, where it does not make use of the tools. The spiritual researcher must be able to bring about this state of the soul through his will, through his will that has been energized. He must actually bring about what otherwise befalls people without will of their own: to suspend all contact with the physical world. The spiritual researcher must artificially induce this. But that is not enough; he would not bring about anything for spiritual knowledge if he only did that; he would induce the state of sleep.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":417,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/69d/1913-01-19/p007","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1913-01-19","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 69d/1913-01-19/p007","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/69d/1913-01-19/p007"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"],"length_check":{"de_words":396,"en_words":417,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Und wenn es keine Möglichkeit gibt, zu zeigen, dass dasjenige, was da heraustritt, wirklich real vorhanden ist, wenn es keine Möglichkeit gibt, zu zeigen, dass der Mensch in die Lage kommen kann, sich außerhalb des Leibes zu erleben, dann kann es auch keinen wirklichen Beweis geben für das, was die Geisteswissenschaft sagt. Diesen Beweis liefern muss derjenige, der Geistesforscher sein will, und unmöglich ist es, in die Geisteswelt hineinzuschauen, unmöglich ist es, in der Geisteswelt Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen, als dass dasjenige, was untertaucht im Schlafe [in die geistige Welt], dass das im Menschen als das eigene menschlich-seelische Wesen regsam gemacht wird, belebt wird, zum Bewusstsein erhoben wird auch dann, wenn es vom Leib getrennt ist. Das muss der Geistesforscher als eine Entwicklung seines geistig-seelischen Wesens durchmachen, damit er zu einer [neuen] Anschauung kommen kann. Wahrnehmen muss der Geistesforscher lernen, verkehren mit demjenigen geistig-seelischen Wesen, von dem der Mensch im gewöhnlichen Leben gar nichts weiß, von dem er sagen muss: Wenn es schon an mir ist, so weiß ich es doch nicht. Das schließt ein, dass etwas eintreten könnte beim Geistesforscher, das ähnlich wäre dem Schlafzustande [und] doch wieder radikal verschieden. Nehmen wir einmal an, dass die Hypothese richtig wäre; so könnte man sagen: Der Mensch verlässt im Schlaf seinen physischen Körper. Das bewusste Leben hört auf, die [Sinnes-]Organe versagen ihren Dienst, daher ist der Schlafzustand also dadurch [konstituiert], dass die Menschenseele, wo sie sich der Werkzeuge nicht bedient, [scheinbar] bewusstlos wird, in die Finsternis des Schlafes versinkt. Der Geistesforscher muss diesen [Seelen-]Zustand herbeiführen können durch seine Willkür, durch seinen energisch gemachten Willen. Er muss tatsächlich dasjenige, was sonst den Menschen willenlos befällt, [willkürlich] herbeiführen: allen Verkehr mit der physischen Außenwelt aufzuheben. Das muss der Geistesforscher künstlich herbeiführen.
