He takes this standpoint: the ordinary mental life that makes us familiar with the physical environment in a healthy way, and with much of what can be grasped about the physical environment through the mind that is tied to the brain, this mental life is bound to the whole human body in its thinking, feeling and willing. The normally organized human body is the tool for this outwardly healthy spiritual life. If true enlightenment is to occur, so that one really looks into a spiritual world, then the human being must rise above this normal, ordinary looking at things, which is bound to the body, to a healthy body. He must make his looking more comprehensive. And above all, he must make it more suitable, more subject to the will. He must do it in such a way that, while a large part of what takes place in ordinary mental life remains unconscious precisely because the body serves as an instrument, in spiritual contemplation man cannot be as passive as he is in ordinary contemplation, but must be active in everything he contemplates; he must develop will, inner activity. In short, in true clairvoyance, the human being's experience becomes broader than that which is bound to the body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"17.

Er steht auf diesem Standpunkt: Das gewöhnliche Geistesleben, das uns bekannt macht in gesunder Weise mit der physischen Umwelt, und mit manchem, was an der physischen Umwelt durch den Verstand begriffen werden kann, der an das Gehirn gebunden ist, dieses Geistesleben ist in seinem Denken, Fühlen und Wollen an den ganzen menschlichen Leib gebunden. Der normal organisierte ganze menschliche Leib ist das Werkzeug für dieses äußerlich gesunde Geistesleben. Wenn wahres Hellschen eintreten soll, sodass man wirklich in eine Geisteswelt hineinschaut, dann muss der Mensch sich erheben über dieses normale, an den Leib, an den gesunden Leib gebundene, gewöhnliche Anschauen der Dinge. Er muss sein Schauen umfassender machen. Und vor allen Dingen: Er muss es tauglicher, mehr dem Willen unterworfen machen. Er muss es so machen, dass - während ein großer Teil desjenigen, was im gewöhnlichen Geistesleben verfließt, eben weil der Leib als Werkzeug dient, unbewusst bleibt - im geistigen Anschauen der Mensch nicht so passiv sein kann, wie er beim gewöhnlichen Anschauen ist, sondern tätig sein muss in allem, was er sich zur Anschauung bringt; er muss Wille, innere Regsamkeit entwickeln. Kurz, der Mensch muss bei wahrem Hellsehen weiter werden in seinem Erleben, als dasjenige ist, dasjenige Erleben ist, das an den Leib gebunden ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":238,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/70b/1916-03-19/p052"}],"english":["GA 70b/1916-03-19/p052"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":238,"en_words":234,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10745,"original_word_count":10396,"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/SOL2024/19160319p01.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.
