True spiritual research will not work towards the unhealthy, but towards the healthy. For true spiritual research is not capable of obscuring thinking or making man stupid in regard to the outer real processes of life. Everything that paralyzes spiritual life and leads it astray, as has been described, also clouds thinking and makes it dull to the sober realities of life. Everything that broadens, these spiritual explorations that expand one's view beyond ordinary life, also enlightens one's healthy judgment of this ordinary life. This does not force people to be deceived under the influence of superstition, but it does lead to a clearer and brighter understanding of life's circumstances.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"17.

Alles dasjenige, was Erweiterung gibt, diese geistesforscherischen Erweiterungen des Blickekreises über das gewöhnliche Leben hinaus, das erhellt auch das gesunde Urteil für dieses gewöhnliche Leben. Das zwingt den Menschen nicht dazu, sich unter dem Einfluss des Aberglaubens beschwindeln zu lassen, sondern es führt dazu, gerade klarer und heller zu durchschauen die Verhältnisse des Lebens.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":166,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/70b/1916-03-19/p088"}],"english":["GA 70b/1916-03-19/p088"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":166,"en_words":150,"ratio":0.9,"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.
