I am not interested in the fact that there are individual physical processes that can be observed. Just as such a person in pan-naturalism wanted to call everything nature, so the person who only wants to allow one to speak of spirit in a pantheistic sense, in a pantheistic way, stands in opposition to the spiritual world. This is opposed by true spiritual research, which really separates the soul-spiritual from the physical-bodily, just as hydrogen is different from water. This spiritual science enters the spiritual world in such a way that it distinguishes the individual concrete processes and beings of the spiritual world, of which we must say: Just as we stand here in the physical world as human beings and look at beings of the mineral, plant, animal, and human kingdoms, so we stand opposite the spiritual world through spiritual research; but now we are no longer on the highest level, but on the lowest, and above us, as our soul itself lives into the spiritual world as a spiritual being, the hierarchy of higher spirits begins. We ascend to the sequence of stages of spiritual beings to which we belong with our soul and spirit, just as we belong to the physical-mineral kingdom through our physical body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"20.

Für denjenigen, der die Dinge durchschaut, ist das nicht mehr wert als jener Pannaturalist, der da sagen würde, wenn er über eine Wiese geht: Was interessieren mich gelbe oder rote Blumen, diese Wälder, jene Berge und Täler und Flüsse - es ist alles Natur, Natur, Natur. Es interessiert mich nicht, dass es einzelne physische Vorgänge gibt, die man beobachten kann. - Gerade wie ein solcher Mensch im Pannaturalismus nur alles Natur nennen wollte, so steht derjenige, der nur gestatten will, dass man im pantheistischen Sinne, in pantheistischer Weise von Geist spricht, der geistigen Welt gegenüber. Dem steht die wahre Geistesforschung gegenüber, die wirklich das Seelisch-Geistige vom Physisch-Leiblichen abtrennt, wie der Wasserstoff verschieden ist vom Wasser. Diese Geisteswissenschaft gelangt in die geistige Welt so, dass sie unterscheidet die einzelnen konkreten Vorgänge und Wesenheiten der geistigen Welt, von der wir sagen müssen: So, wie wir hier in der physischen Welt als Menschen stehen und auf Wesen des Mineral-, des Pflanzen-, Tier- und Menschenreiches schauen, so stehen wir durch Geistesforschung der geistigen Welt gegenüber; da sind wir aber jetzt nicht mehr auf der höchsten Stufe, sondern auf der untersten, und über uns beginnt, wie unsere Seele selbst sich als geistiges Wesen in die geistige Welt hineinlebt, die Hierarchie der übergeordneten Geister. Man steigt hinauf zu der Stufenfolge der geistigen Wesenheiten, der wir angehören mit dem Seelisch-Geistigen, wie wir angehören dem physisch-mineralischen Reiche durch den physischen Leib.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":300,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/69d/1914-05-08/p026"}],"english":["GA 69d/1914-05-08/p026"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":300,"en_words":318,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"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.
