It is precisely for this reason that spiritual research in our time feels that what must become part of general culture is the realization that the forces that have been drawn out of humanity through centuries of work on natural phenomena make it possible, when used in the right way, to truly penetrate the spiritual worlds, just as external knowledge, which is bound to the senses and the brain, can penetrate the natural world. However, this assertion still encounters opposition today. It encounters misunderstanding. Yes, it is fair to say that if one wants to speak of spiritual science in the sense meant here, one must use such unfamiliar terms that it seems quite understandable, especially when one is involved in it oneself, that countless people who today believe they stand on the firm ground of scientific thinking must still oppose this spiritual science. But just as a change in thinking habits had to occur three or four centuries ago, when the natural sciences brought about a completely different way of thinking about the spatial world, so too will a change in thinking habits take place in human souls, which is necessary if more and more understanding is to spread for the truths that I will attempt to outline in this lecture.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"20.

Gerade aus diesem Grunde fühlt Geistesforschung in unserer Zeit, dass dasjenige in die allgemeine Kultur sich einleben muss, was wirklich mit den Kräften, die innerhalb der Menschheit gerade herangezogen worden sind durch die Arbeit über die Naturerscheinungen seit Jahrhunderten, dass diesen Kräften es möglich ist, wenn sie in der richtigen Weise gebraucht werden, wirklich einzudringen in die geistigen Welten, so wie die äußere Erkenntnis, die an Sinne und Gehirn gebunden ist, in die Weltennatur eindringen kann. Mit dieser Behauptung stößt man allerdings heute noch auf Gegner. Man stößt auf Missverständnisse. Ja, man darf sagen, man muss, wenn man von Geisteswissenschaft in dem Sinne, wie sie hier gemeint ist, sprechen will, in so ungewohnten Begriffen sprechen, dass es einem, gerade, wenn man selbst darinnen steht, ganz begreiflich erscheint, wie sich unzählige Menschen, die heute glauben, auf dem festen Boden wissenschaftlicher Vorstellungsart zu stehen, noch gegen diese Geisteswissenschaft wenden müssen. Aber, wie im Grunde genommen ein Umschwung in den Denkgewohnheiten eintreten musste vor drei bis vier Jahrhunderten, als die Naturwissenschaften ein ganz anderes Denken über die Raumeswelt heraufbrachten, so wird sich in den Menschenseelen jener Umschwung in den Denkgewohnheiten vollziehen, der notwendig ist, wenn immer mehr und mehr Verständnis sich verbreiten soll für die Wahrheiten, die skizzenhaft in diesem Vortrag ich anzudeuten mir erlauben werde.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":254,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/69d/1914-05-08/p010"}],"english":["GA 69d/1914-05-08/p010"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":254,"en_words":251,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10124,"original_word_count":9939,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Death and Immortality in the Light of Spiritual Science","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA069d/English/SOL2024/19140508p01.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.
