And more precisely than the natural scientist, he can see how such involuntary hallucinatory vision arises from the body's predestined devotion to its own processes, while in true clairvoyance, free, independent activity of the will, independent of the body, is involved in every detail that one experiences in relation to the spiritual world. When a person succumbs, let us say, to delusions or obsessions, the spiritual researcher will perhaps stand even more firmly on the ground occupied today by the scientifically trained psychiatrist, with regard to these areas in particular, and be clear about the fact that certain ideas that arise and exert a compulsion on the person that he cannot resist are conditioned by the fact that the life of the body has been pathologically altered. But with his spiritual life freed from the life of the body, he will be able to look more closely at this bondage of all involuntary, abnormal ideas to the body and its functions as a natural scientist himself. If only one would realize ever more deeply that true spiritual science need not be in disharmony with what natural science asserts as a justified demand.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"17.

Wenn der Mensch verfällt, sagen wir, in Wahn oder in Zwangsvorstellungen - der Geistesforscher wird vielleicht sogar noch stärker gerade mit Bezug auf diese Gebiete auf den Boden sich stellen, auf dem heute der naturwissenschaftlich gebildete Psychiater steht, und sich klar darüber sein, dass gewisse Vorstellungen, die auftreten, die auf den Menschen einen Zwang ausüben, dessen er sich nicht erwehren kann, dass die dadurch bedingt sind, dass das Leibesleben krankhaft abgeändert ist. Aber er wird gerade mit seinem vom Leibleben frei gewordenen Geistesleben noch genauer hineinschauen können auf diese Gebundenheit aller unwillkürlich, abnormen Vorstellungen an den Leib und an seine Verrichtungen als der Naturforscher selber.
