Schelling's greatness is the German mind, which lovingly wants to engage with the smallest and the greatest phenomena of nature, with that which pours gloriously through space, that which spreads out in time. But while he wants to penetrate into every detail with a loving mind, he is also clear about one thing: certainty, security, true reality can only be found where you immerse yourself in yourself, where you can find the union of the human soul with the world soul in your own self. What you seek there and [...] find, you find because you experience it directly, because you experience it in such a way that, by being, you are at the same time with you [...] as that which, as true reality, pulses through life. What you can find in yourself, you will never find in outer nature. Therefore, fill yourself with that within you which can be a reflection of that which is most profound in this external nature as well. And so, what Schelling experienced within grew to such an extent that when he observed nature, he merged with the external existence of nature. Thus, nature itself became soul-like and spiritual to him. So Schelling looks into nature and says to himself: the essence of the human soul rests within it. But when I look out into nature, it is the same essence. I look at the stone: it has something, is connected with something, which is like the essence of the human soul; it only has it enchanted in form, in external nature; it has brought it into forms. And so the plant world in all its diversity. And so the animal world. And so also the outer physical human world. If I want to express myself figuratively: for Schelling it becomes as if - before the human soul entered this physical existence - a world spirit soul deeply related to the human soul... that which the human soul only and feels within itself, had first spread out before itself in forms, so that the human soul can see itself here twice..., and its essence poured out, magically poured out in space and in time, as it lives outside in nature.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

Schellings Größe ist das deutsche Gemüt, das liebevoll eingehen will auf die kleinste und auf die größte Erscheinung der Natur, auf dasjenige, was herrlich durch den Raum sich ergießt, was sich in der Zeit ausbreitet. Aber indem er mit einem liebevollen Gemüt in alles Einzelne eindringen will, ist er sich doch dessen zugleich klar: Gewissheit, Sicherheit, wahre Wirklichkeit kannst du nur da finden, wo du in dich selber untertauchst, wo du eben in deinem Ich den Zusammenschluss der Menschenseele mit der Weltseele finden kannst. Was du da suchst und [...] findest, deshalb, weil du es unmittelbar erlebst, weil du es so erlebst, dass du, indem du bist, [es] zugleich bei dir [ist] ... als dasjenige, was als wahre Wirklichkeit das Leben durchpulst —, was du bei dir finden kannst, das findest du in der äußeren Natur nie und nimmer. Daher erfülle dich mit dem in deinem Innern, was dir Widerglanz sein kann desjenigen, was das Tiefste ist auch in dieser äußeren Natur. Und so wächst für Schelling dasjenige, was er im Innern erlebt hat, fast bis zu einem solchen Grade, dass er in der Naturbetrachtung eben verfließt mit dem äußeren Naturdasein zusammen. So wird ihm die Natur selber seelen-, selber geisterhaft. So schaut Schelling hinein in die [menschliche] Natur und sagt sich: Da drinnen ruht der menschlichen Seele Wesenheit. Blicke ich aber in die Natur hinaus, das ist dieselbe Wesenheit. Ich schaue den Stein an: Er hat etwas, hängt mit etwas zusammen, was wie dieses Wesen der menschlichen Seele ist; er hat es nur in der Form, in der äußeren Natur verzaubert; er hat es in Formen gebracht. Und so die Pflanzenwelt in aller ihrer Mannigfaltigkeit. Und so die Tierwelt. Und so auch die äußere physische Menschenwelt. Wenn ich mich bildlich ausdrücken will: Es wird für Schelling so, wie wenn — bevor die menschliche Seele in dieses physische Dasein getreten ist - eine der menschlichen Seele tief verwandte Weltgeistseele ... dasjenige, was die menschliche Seele nur seelenhaft in sich fühlt und empfindet, in Formen zuerst vor sich ausgebreitet hätte, sodass die menschliche Seele sich hier zweimal sehen kann ..., und ihr Wesen ausgegossen, magisch ausgegossen im Raume und in der Zeit, wie es draußen in der Natur lebt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":374,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/70b/1915-11-25/p041"}],"english":["GA 70b/1915-11-25/p041"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":374,"en_words":372,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":13536,"original_word_count":12814,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Ways to a Knowledge of the Eternal Forces of the Human Soul","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA070b/English/SOL2024/19151125p01.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.
