A person who has gone through the process of scientific thinking, through physics, chemistry, biology and physiology, thinks differently from someone who has not gone through these sciences as they have developed in modern times, because they have acquired the methods and forms of thought of these sciences. Spiritual research first looks at the way in which thinking has been practiced in recent times. And spiritual research becomes clear about this: the way in which thinking is practiced must gradually lead, through what is experienced in this exercise, to what was described the day before yesterday as a special exercise of thinking and will. Thus it is not what has been investigated by natural science that is placed in a relationship by the spiritual researcher to spiritual research, but rather what inner consciousness of these activities one has acquired, that is what is particularly emphasized; how one has learned to think differently, how one has learned to feel differently in nature, how the soul forces have been stimulated. And then the spiritual researcher says: This stimulation is just the beginning of a path; because if you follow it up - he himself has led to what was described here the day before yesterday - you can see from it that you are really led to grasp something in the soul through the exercise of thinking, feeling and willing, which can detach itself from the physical organization.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"8.

Ein Mensch, der durchgegangen ist durch naturwissenschaftliches Denken, durch Physik, durch Chemie, durch Biologie, durch Physiologie, der denkt dadurch, dass er sich die Methoden, die Denkformen dieser Wissenschaften angeeignet hat, anders als ein Mensch, der durch diese Wissenschaften, wie sie die neuere Zeit gestaltet hat, nicht hindurchgegangen ist. Also auf die Art, wie das Denken geübt wurde in der neueren Zeit, darauf sieht zunächst Geistesforschung. Und da wird sich Geistesforschung klar darüber: So wie da das Denken geübt wird, so muss es allmählich hinzielen durch das, was es in dieser Übung erlebt, hinzielen auf das, was vorgestern als besondere Denk- und Willensübung geschildert worden ist. Also nicht, was man erforscht hat durch die Naturwissenschaft, wird in ein Verhältnis gestellt von dem Geistesforscher zur Geistesforschung, sondern welches innere Bewusstsein von diesen Verrichtungen man sich angeeignet haben kann, das ist es, worauf besonderer Wert gelegt ist; wie man anders denken, wie man anders sich in der Natur fühlen gelernt hat, wie angeregt worden sind die Seelenkräfte. Und da sagt der Geistesforscher: Diese Anregung ist eben der Anfang zu einem Weg; denn, wenn man ihn dann weiterverfolgt - er hat selbst zu dem geführt, was vorgestern hier geschildert worden ist —, dass man daraus ersehen kann, dass man wirklich dazu geführt wird, durch Übung des Denkens, Fühlens und Wollens selber etwas in der Seele zu ergreifen, was sich von der leiblichen Organisation loslösen kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":266,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/70b/1916-01-14/p010"}],"english":["GA 70b/1916-01-14/p010"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":266,"en_words":274,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":11706,"original_word_count":11292,"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/SOL2024/19160114p01.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.
