When we proceed intimately in the manner described, again and again performing such inner, we can now say purely conceptual, acts of the will, through which we place simple thought-content at the center of our consciousness and become completely absorbed in it, then we also experience something through our will. But this life of the will is different from that which underlies outer actions. What underlies outer actions develops a life of the will in which the will is asleep. For the way in which the human being intervenes with his thoughts in his will – this is indeed an old riddle of philosophy, which will not be discussed further here – the connection between the thought and the outer action, is in the deep foundations of the soul life. But it is precisely into these deep layers of the soul that spiritual science must descend if it is to ascend to supersensible knowledge. And by repeatedly, repeatedly bringing to life inwardly that which is the object of meditation and concentration in thinking, by doing so again and again out of inner will, out of strong inner soul forces – repetition is important – other processes occur in the soul than those of outer action. Such activities occur in the soul that do not take place in the same way as external actions, where we always have to intervene with our thoughts, but rather those that repeat themselves with regularity, I would say internally, automatically.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"13.

Wenn wir in der geschilderten Weise intim seelisch vorgehen, immer wieder und wieder solche innere, wir können jetzt sagen rein vorstellungsmäßige Willenshandlungen vornehmen, durch die wir einfache Denkinhalte in den Mittelpunkt unseres Bewusstseins stellen und ganz in sie aufgehen, dann erleben wir ja auch durch unseren Willen etwas. Aber dieses Willensleben ist ein anderes als dasjenige, das den äußeren Handlungen zugrunde liegt. Was den äußeren Handlungen zugrunde liegt, entwickelt ein Willensleben, in dem der Wille halt schläft. Denn in der Tat, wie der Mensch eingreift mit seinen Gedanken in seinen Willen - das ist ja eine alte Rätselfrage der Philosophie, auf sie soll hier weiter nicht eingegangen werden -, der Zusammenhang zwischen dem Gedanken und der äußeren Handlung, er ist in den tiefen Untergründen des Seelenlebens. Aber gerade in diese tiefen Untergründe des Seelenlebens muss hinabsteigen die Geisteswissenschaft, wenn sie zu übersinnlicher Erkenntnis aufsteigen will. Und indem man immer wieder wiederholt, immer wieder innerlich lebendig macht dasjenige, was Gegenstand der Meditation und Konzentration im Denken ist, indem man so aus innerem Willen, aus starken inneren Seelenkräften heraus immer wieder - auf die Wiederholung kommt es an - dabei vollzieht, was man einmal vollzogen hat, treten andere Verrichtungen des Organismus, als es die des äußeren Handelns sind, in der Seele auf. Es treten in der Seele solche Verrichtungen auf, die sich nicht so vollziehen wie äußere Handlungen, wo wir immer mit unseren Gedanken eingreifen müssen, sondern solche, die sich mit Regelmäßigkeit, ich möchte sagen innerlich automatisch wiederholen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":258,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/70a/1915-05-06/p034"}],"english":["GA 70a/1915-05-06/p034"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":258,"en_words":257,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9860,"original_word_count":9579,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Human Soul, Fate and Death","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA070a/English/SOL2024/19150506p01.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.
